Perfectionism
Kristina Anzell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CPSC
You are used to putting in extra work to get it right. When you don't do something right the first time, you beat yourself up and then spend time learning, researching and then don't stop trying until you get it perfect. The issue... babies do not work that way. They are all different, they are not predictable and they are not able to be controlled. You are spending too much time and energy on something that is "supposed to come naturally" and it feels awful! Get the support you need!

Perfectionism
Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You may not identify as a "perfectionist" because you're not doing things perfectly. In reality, people who struggle with perfectionism feel like they're never performing well enough, and they can always find the flaws in everything they do. These tendencies can also with correlate with procrastination. I work with people to improve their self-compassion and self-worth to allow for excellence instead of unrealistic perfection.

Perfectionism
Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Perfectionism often develops as a way to manage anxiety, self-worth, and fear of failure. While it can lead to high achievement, it can also create pressure, rigidity, and dissatisfaction. I help individuals understand the underlying drivers of perfectionism and develop more flexible, balanced ways of approaching themselves and their work.

Tanya Master | Online Somatic & Psychosomatic Consulting

Perfectionism
Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Perfectionism isn't about doing things perfectly, it's about finding fault easily. Somewhere along the way, you came to believe that if you did things perfectly, you would be safe and free from worry. Instead, you are still full of worry and are just plain exhausted. Let's work together to figure out how perfectionism serves you, how it doesn't, and how you can find balance and inner peace.

Perfectionism
Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Perfectionism can look like competence and high achievement from the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. If you're constantly evaluating yourself or feeling that what you do is never quite enough, therapy can help you soften the inner pressure and develop greater self-trust and ease.

Perfectionism
Hayden Dover
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Perfectionism often looks like high standards, but underneath it there may be anxiety, self-pressure, fear of mistakes, shame, or difficulty trusting yourself. I work with perfectionism as a pattern that can limit freedom, pleasure, creativity, and connection. Our work focuses on understanding what perfectionism is protecting, how it lives in the body and relationships, and how to build more flexibility, self-acceptance, and alignment with your values.

Perfectionism
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Perfectionism is rarely about excellence alone. It often develops when achievement, control, or being beyond criticism becomes tied to safety, worth, belonging, or protection from shame. What may appear as discipline can quietly produce procrastination, overworking, indecision, self-criticism, and an inability to feel satisfied even after success. Therapy explores what imperfection has come to mean, separates healthy ambition from fear-driven performance, and builds the capacity to take risks, make mistakes, and remain worthy without continually proving it.

Perfectionism
Advent Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT (R.N.-retired)
The compulsion to get everything right is both exhausting and spiritually corrosive. Perfectionism frequently presents as high standards while quietly robbing you of joy, straining your relationships, and distorting your understanding of God's grace. Together we will examine its roots, challenge the falsehoods that sustain it, and help you come to rest in the truth that you are God's workmanship — not because you are perfect, but because you are His.

Perfectionism
Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Holding yourself to impossible standards usually results in a lot of anxiety and procrastination rather than actual satisfaction. Feeling burned out is sometimes the next level of perfectionism. I help you untangle your worth from your productivity, allowing you to breathe a little easier without losing your drive.

Perfectionism
Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I think of myself as a “recovering perfectionist” and would be glad to support you in your own journey toward greater self-acceptance. I find that empathy and validation are important starting points, alongside developing self-compassion and a kinder relationship with yourself. Depending on your needs, we might explore patterns in your inner dialogue, develop practical coping skills, or practice mindfulness and self-compassion more intentionally. My hope is to help you embrace yourself as a perfectly imperfect human, with room to grow without needing to get everything right.

Perfectionism can create constant pressure to get everything right, often leading to stress, procrastination, or feeling like nothing is ever good enough. It can be hard to relax or feel satisfied with what you accomplish. In therapy we will work on understanding where these patterns come from and how to shift them into something more balanced. The goal is to help you feel more flexible, more self accepting, and less weighed down by expectations.

Perfectionism
Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people don’t realize that perfectionism isn’t about doing things perfectly—it’s about feeling like anything less than what they had in their minds is unacceptable. This mindset often creates constant self‑criticism, pressure, and a sense that nothing is ever “good enough,” even when you’re working incredibly hard. I help clients notice these patterns with compassion and begin shifting toward a more grounded, accepting way of relating to themselves.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to perform, achieve, or appear “good enough,” often leaving you exhausted, anxious, or self-critical. It’s usually rooted in early experiences, fear of failure, or unmet expectations. In therapy, we explore the beliefs driving perfectionistic patterns, develop healthier self-compassion, and create practical strategies for balance and emotional freedom. With Christ-centered guidance, you’ll learn to embrace progress over perfection, honor your worth, and live with greater peace and authenticity.
