Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
While striving for excellence can be a strength, maladaptive perfectionism often leads to chronic burnout, fear of failure, and debilitating procrastination. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help individuals challenge rigid "all-or-nothing" thinking and unrealistic self-imposed standards. Our clinical work focuses on decoupling your self-worth from your achievements, building distress tolerance around mistakes, and cultivating sustainable excellence without the mental exhaustion.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I used to joke that I'm a "recovering perfectionist," but trying to recover from it might just be another way of holding ourselves to someone else's standard (of not being "uptight" or "too good" or something). I think the real key is to figure out what our internal compass really wants to point us to. If we were born to pay attention and excel, let's do that in a way that helps us and others thrive, with less shame and stress when we mess up. I'm an Enneagram 1 (I lead with a personality type that can be called "perfectionist" or "idealist"). Maybe you are an Enneagram 1, or a 2 (a people pleaser), or 3 (an achiever). Or maybe you weren't born this way, but your parents pressured you into perfectionism. However perfectionism intersects with your personality, let's find a way to honor its gifts while asking it to rest a bit so other parts of you can also shine.

Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards — it's almost always about fear. Fear of failure, rejection, not being enough. At Restored, we help clients trace perfectionism back to its roots, addressing the subconscious beliefs that drive it and the toll it takes on mental health, relationships, and quality of life. The goal isn't lowering your standards — it's freeing you from the relentless pressure that's been quietly running your life.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you silently struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Do you appear successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing emotional pain? I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.
Like all people, you have a unique longing in your heart for something higher and more fulfilling. This differs from perfect ego fantasies seeking to compensate for core wound pain. You might have a genuine soul longing for a beautiful love relationship or financial freedom, for example. You might ache to express who you truly are in the world, or perhaps you want to find your core strength and accomplish something magnificent. Your deeper joy is blocked by unhealed childhood core wound pain, and it can be healed.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Perfectionism can look like high standards and achievement on the outside, but internally it often feels like constant pressure, self-criticism, and fear of making mistakes. You may struggle to feel satisfied with your accomplishments or find that your self-worth rises and falls with performance. In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you challenge rigid thinking patterns, reduce harsh self-talk, and develop a more flexible, values-driven definition of success. Our work focuses on maintaining excellence without sacrificing your well-being, relationships, or sense of self.

Perfectionism often looks like high standards, but it is usually driven by fear of failure, criticism, or not being enough. We can work on loosening the pressure without lowering what you value. The focus is on more flexible thinking, better self-compassion, and the ability to take action without needing everything to be flawless.

Allison Gildner
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPCC, PMH-C
As a "recovering perfectionist" myself, I know that perfectionism can be both a gift and a curse. You may not perceive yourself as a perfectionist, yet you know that you often feel like you're never good enough, or you're constantly striving for a goal that feels out of reach. I understand the perfectionist mindset and I'll help you recognize the patterns that are holding you back, so you can truly embrace this part of yourself.

Embodied Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPCC, CIEC, CCTP
Perfectionism shows up all the time for many of us. We have been trained for it almost our entire lives. Perfectionism is shame's cruise control. It's not going to be helpful on snow, ice, rain or traffic. I like to help clients unpack perfectionism to reduce anxiety, stress, and increase sustainable practices that help you get where your going, no matter what life throws at you.

Omni Mental Health, Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, LICSW, DBT IOP

Through a supportive and nonjudgmental process, we help individuals build self-compassion, increase flexibility, manage stress, and find greater balance so they can pursue success without sacrificing their well-being.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Perfectionism is rarely about a desire for excellence; usually, it is an exhausting shield used to protect yourself from judgment, failure, or feeling 'never good enough.' I specialize in working with high-achieving adults, 'fixers,' and peacekeepers who use perfectionism and over-functioning to stay safe, only to find themselves drowning in chronic worry and burnout. Together, we look beneath the behavior to heal the root anxieties and past traumas driving the need to be flawless. We will work to silence your harsh inner critic, dismantle the fear of letting others down, and help you trade the crushing weight of perfection for genuine self-compassion and peace

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Perfectionism is not really about high standards. It is about safety. Somewhere along the way, the subconscious decided that being good enough, being beyond criticism or being in complete control was the way to be safe and accepted. That decision then becomes a daily tax: overworking, second-guessing, never quite arriving. RTT goes back to the moment that decision was made and updates the meaning underneath it. The standards can stay. What changes is the price you pay to meet them. Most of my perfectionist clients are women in leadership, founders or creatives. The work is online via Zoom and confidential.

Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Claudia Blackwell talks about how perfectionism is born out of shame. It's a quote that has stuck with me for years. Perfectionism causes us to feel like we are never good enough, directly attacking our self-worth. Supportive therapy can help us identify the attacks of perfectionism, learn the language of our inner critic, and forge a path forward with self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults whose perfectionism has stopped serving them, professionals and scientists who are high performing but burning out int he workplace and privately exhausted by their own inner critic. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify the specific thought patterns driving perfectionistic behavior and build a more sustainable relationship with achievement. Many of my clients are first-generation Latinx professionals, for whom perfectionism is often tied to family expectations and the pressure of being the first to do what they do. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented, so progress is something you can see and track, not just feel.

Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
Perfectionism often develops as a way to seek approval, avoid criticism, or maintain a sense of control. While it can drive achievement, it can also lead to burnout, anxiety, shame, and difficulty feeling satisfied. For many individuals, cultural and familial expectations play a significant role in perfectionistic patterns. Therapy can help you challenge unrealistic standards, embrace self-compassion, and cultivate a healthier relationship with success and self-worth.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
While aspects of perfectionism have often been helpful for folks to achieve and get to where they are in life, it also has a shadow side rooted in fear of failure, shame, and anxiety. Additionally, our society often reinforces perfectionism in ways that make it difficult from which to un-tangle. Our work will hold the ways it has been helpful while also challenging you to gain comfort with 'good enough' approaches to life.
