Columbus, Ohio therapist: Full Circle Mental Health LLC, registered social worker
Perfectionism

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.

Gallatin, Tennessee therapist: Jason Holland, psychologist
Perfectionism

Jason Holland

Psychologist, Ph.D.
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.

Cincinnati, Ohio therapist: Pamela Angel, counselor/therapist
Perfectionism

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.

Lawrence, Kansas therapist: Shannon Gorres, life coach
Perfectionism

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.

Fargo, North Dakota therapist: Inner World Counseling Services PLLC, licensed professional counselor
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

Salt Lake City, Utah therapist: Juniper Mental Health, psychologist
Perfectionism

Juniper Mental Health

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.

 therapist: Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist, hypnotherapist
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.

Yorba Linda, California therapist: New Beginnings Christian Counseling, marriage and family therapist
Perfectionism

New Beginnings Christian Counseling

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

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.

Apex, North Carolina therapist: Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group, psychologist
Perfectionism

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.

Nashville, Tennessee therapist: Dr. Jeannine Pablo, psychologist
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.

Bainbridge Island, Washington therapist: Alyssa Smyth, psychologist
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.

Chandler, Arizona therapist: Christine Sparacino, psychologist
Perfectionism

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.
