Perfectionism
Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Perfectionism often looks like high standards on the surface, but underneath can be a fear of failure, criticism, or not being enough. I help you understand the roots of these patterns while gradually loosening their grip. Together, we will work toward a more flexible, self-compassionate way of relating to yourself and your goals. This way you can still be productive but also feel more at peace.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
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

Perfectionism
Omni Mental Health, Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, LICSW, DBT IOP
At Omni Mental Health, we recognize that perfectionism can be both exhausting and isolating. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often creates overwhelming pressure, self-criticism, fear of failure, procrastination, anxiety, and difficulty feeling satisfied with accomplishments. Our therapists help clients explore the underlying beliefs and experiences that contribute to perfectionistic patterns while developing healthier ways to approach goals, expectations, and self-worth. 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.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often develops as an understandable way of coping rather than simply setting high standards. Together, we'll explore the experiences that shaped these patterns, reduce harsh self-criticism, and help you build a healthier relationship with achievement, mistakes, and self-worth.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Big changes—starting high school or college, changing schools, moving, or figuring out what comes next—can bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. Even positive transitions can feel overwhelming. I help teens and young adults navigate these shifts with more clarity and confidence, building coping skills, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction so you can move forward feeling more grounded.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.

24 Years Experience
Online in Saint Paul, MN
Saint Paul is home to one of the largest concentrations of Hmong Americans in the country, as well as significant Somali, Karen, and East African communities, making culturally competent and multilingual therapists — particularly those with Southeast Asian language skills — especially valuable. The city's proximity to Minneapolis means it shares much of the broader Twin Cities therapy ecosystem, but Saint Paul maintains its own community-based networks serving a more ethnically diverse and working-class population. Regions Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside community clinics serving underserved populations. Saint Paul's cold winters and close-knit neighborhood character shape a therapy culture that values warmth, directness, and community connection.
