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

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
In therapy, I help individuals understand the emotional and relational patterns beneath perfectionistic striving, so that they can relate to themselves with greater freedom, flexibility, and self-trust. The aim is not to lower one’s standards, but to loosen the grip of harsh self-demand and make room for a fuller, more livable way of being.

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.

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.

Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in treating perfectionism because I’ve witnessed how this "hidden" struggle binds, shackles, and exhausts even the highest achievers. While often mistaken for a strength, unhealthy perfectionism drives relentless self-criticism, anxiety, burnout, and imposter syndrome, turning the pursuit of excellence into a form of self-punishment.
I am passionate about helping clients break free from the "all-or-nothing" cycle and reclaim their time, energy, and joy. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and self-compassion, I help you shift from harsh judgment to self-kindness, allowing you to move from “never enough” to a sustainable, authentic life where mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth rather than fatal failures.

Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
Many of my clients have extremely high standards for themselves and base their self-worth on their ability to meet those standards. Usually perfectionism works to a certain point in their life - until it doesn't. On the inside, it can feel like nothing is ever quite good enough, rest feels unearned, and perfectionists can feel like they're one mistake away from a total meltdown. I help high-achievers loosen perfectionism's grip without losing their edge. I help performers work to be ambitious and at peace with themselves. To strive in a healthy way, and still feel like enough.

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.

Full Circle Mental Health LLC
Registered Social Worker, MSW, LISW
Perfectionism is rarely about a simple desire to do well; it is a relentless, exhausting armor used to protect ourselves from shame, judgment, and the fear of never being "enough." When you are trapped in this cycle, every mistake feels catastrophic, procrastination takes over out of fear of failure, and chronic burnout bleeds into your career, relationships, and health. At Full Circle Mental Health LLC, I provide a compassionate, virtual space across Ohio to help you put down the heavy burden of impossible standards.
I view perfectionism through an integrative, trauma-informed lens, understanding that it often develops as a survival mechanism to find safety, control, or validation in early life or rigid environments. Grounded in a strengths-based framework, I help you unravel these patterns from the comfort of your own home.
You do not have to earn your right to rest or peace. Whether your perfectionism manifests as corporate burnout, relationship anxiety, or the rigid expectations left over from a strict religious upbringing, we will work as collaborative partners. Together, we will honor your innate resilience, build practical tools, and co-create a personalized virtual roadmap to help you embrace your authentic self and live a life of meaningful, flexible peace.

Juniper Mental Health
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism is not problematic for everyone, but for some, the drive to always do more and be better can have a negative impact on their daily stress, relationships, and take away from the life they want to be living. We have several providers on our team who have authored books and research on this very topic. Reach out to consult with our perfectionism specialists to discuss treatment.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who hold themselves to very high standards and feel the cost of that internally. Perfectionism can look like overworking, difficulty stopping, constant self‑criticism, or a sense that nothing is ever quite enough. It can also look like procrastination, avoidance, or shutting down when something feels too overwhelming or too important to get wrong. Many people I see are highly responsible and often successful on the outside, but feel tense, depleted, or quietly anxious much of the time.
Perfectionism often develops as a way to stay safe, cope with unpredictability, or manage early experiences where being competent, careful, or invisible felt necessary. Over time, these strategies can become exhausting. You may notice that you rarely feel satisfied, that rest feels undeserved, or that you are harder on yourself than anyone else would ever be, even when you are doing your best.
In our work together, we make space for the part of you that strives and the part of you that is tired of striving. Rather than forcing you to “let go” of high standards, we get curious about what perfectionism has been protecting and what it is costing you now. We pay attention to how perfectionism shows up in your body, thoughts, and relationships, and look for ways of relating to yourself that are still responsible and thoughtful but less punishing, so you can experience more ease, satisfaction, and permission to be human in your work, relationships, and inner life. Working with perfectionism is a central part of my practice, and I have deep respect for how hard you’ve been working to hold everything together.

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.

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.
