Perfectionism

Resilience Therapy Group

Therapist, LCSW, LMHC, LMSW, MHC-LP, PMH-C

Seattle, Washington therapist: Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC, psychologist
Perfectionism

Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC

Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Perfectionism often develops as more than a preference for high standards; it can become a way of securing approval, preventing criticism, or managing uncertainty. We explore the experiences that made achievement and control feel necessary while practicing more flexible, values-based ways of working, resting, relating, and taking risks.

Denver, Colorado therapist: Carrie Gauthier, hypnotherapist
Perfectionism

Carrie Gauthier

Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We work with control and perfectionism in hypnosis and hypnotic regression to uncover limiting beliefs and emotions and explore the root cause memory. Once we process this, there is often a release and a new lease on how we approach things. We remove this programming through the repetitive playing of our hypnotic recording to completely rewire and replace with the newly desired behavior. We work on your sense of self worth, self love and any hardwired belief systems that have led you to place, in many instances, unrealistic expectations that you have set for yourself so that you can still move forward daily with your goals, but so that you do it from a place of love, specifically, love for yourself. We often process guilt and shame and feelings of low self esteem that push individuals over the brink with the nealy impossible task of perfection. You are enough, always remember this. I provide you with tools you can use in your daily life to come back from a panic spiral or feelings of overwhelm, overextension, and burnout. This will return you to feelings of safety with emotional regulation and feeling good in your own skin again.

Columbia, South Carolina therapist: Carey Luker, licensed professional counselor
Perfectionism

Carey Luker

Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I work with individuals who feel stuck in the pressure of always needing to do more, be better, or get everything “right.” Perfectionism can be exhausting—it often comes with overthinking, self-criticism, people-pleasing, fear of disappointing others, and feeling like you can never fully relax or slow down. Many people look like they’re holding it all together on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed inside. In therapy, I create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can let your guard down and stop carrying so much pressure alone. Together, we work on building self-compassion, healthier boundaries, and a more balanced way of living that feels less overwhelming and more sustainable.

Charleston, South Carolina therapist: Robin Wellington, counselor/therapist
Perfectionism

Robin Wellington

Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with perfectionism, I help clients explore the pressures and beliefs that can create a constant sense of needing to do more or be better. While perfectionism may have once served as a way to cope or succeed, it often brings stress, self-criticism, and difficulty feeling satisfied. Together we gently uncover these patterns while building greater self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and a more balanced relationship with achievement and self-worth.

Durham, North Carolina therapist: Bobby Newell, licensed clinical social worker
Perfectionism

Bobby Newell

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with perfectionism—the constant pressure to get everything right, meet high expectations, and avoid mistakes at all costs. While perfectionism can look like success on the outside, it often comes with anxiety, burnout, and a harsh inner critic that’s hard to turn off. Together, we focus on understanding the patterns driving perfectionism and building more flexible, sustainable ways of thinking and responding. My approach combines practical tools with mind-body awareness, helping you reduce pressure, increase self-trust, and show up more fully—without feeling like everything has to be perfect first.

Washington, Washington, D.C. therapist: Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy, psychologist
Perfectionism

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy

Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can fuel achievement, persistence, and attention to detail, and it is often rewarded in demanding academic and professional environments. Over time, however, unrelenting standards, fear of mistakes, overwork, self-criticism, or tying your worth to your performance can become exhausting and unsustainable. A setback, transition, increased responsibility, or period of burnout may eventually make it impossible to keep meeting the expectations you have set for yourself. When strategies that once helped you succeed stop working, it can feel as though your competence, identity, or life is beginning to unravel. Working on perfectionism does not mean giving up ambition or settling for less. Therapy can help you understand what drives your perfectionism, distinguish meaningful striving from fear-based pressure, develop more flexible expectations, and respond to mistakes or limitations with greater perspective and self-compassion. The goal is to help you pursue excellence in ways that are healthier, more sustainable, and less dependent on relentless self-criticism.

Raleigh, North Carolina therapist: Nour Counseling, counselor/therapist
Perfectionism

Nour Counseling

Counselor/Therapist
Perfectionism is often praised—but let’s be clear: most of what gets called “perfectionism” is actually pressure. Pressure to perform, to be liked, to get it right, to not mess up in a world that doesn’t give you much room to be human. A lot of those standards don’t come from you. They come from dominant cultural norms—productivity, achievement, appearance, success—that you’ve been taught to internalize, even when they don’t actually match what you value. So you keep pushing, overthinking, over-preparing, holding yourself to impossible expectations… and still feeling like it’s not enough. At Nour Counseling, we don’t treat perfectionism like a personality quirk or something to “optimize.” We take it apart. We help you identify where these standards came from, how they’ve been reinforced, and what they’re costing you—your time, your energy, your relationships, your sense of self. From there, we actively work with you to build something different: clearer values, more flexible thinking, and ways of showing up that don’t require constant self-pressure to maintain. This includes learning how to tolerate imperfection, make decisions without over-analysis, and step out of cycles that keep you stuck. This work is about reclaiming your life from expectations that were never really yours—and building one that actually reflects what matters to you.

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

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

Modern Wellness Family Counseling, LLC

Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT/S, RPT/S
Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life? Could you use support on what you’re going through, or a non-judgmental therapist just to listen? Do you think you could benefit the most from individualized attention? Are you hesitant to talk to others about your problems? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you’ve been seeking. Individual therapy differs from group or alternative therapy methods in the way that you are the sole focus of a single therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy. If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy could help you improve your everyday life. Individual therapy helps you win against whatever you’re battling by putting a real expert in your corner by means of a professional therapist. So if any of these sound like you… You keep worrying about the same problem over and over You don’t know who you could ever trust with knowing about your secret struggle You wish there was somebody who could tell you why you feel this way You’re interested in therapy, but you don’t want to give up total control Other areas of your life are being negatively impacted by your struggle You need somebody to listen to you and your feelings for once You’re interested in therapy, but not sure how it could fit into your life …Then individual therapy could be right for you. Individual therapy is so helpful for so many people because it’s the best way to get truly customized therapy. Group therapy may have its own set of numerous advantages but if you want more control over the pacing of your therapy, the methods used, the amount of analysis or feedback you can receive, and the timing of your sessions, you owe it to yourself to look into individual therapy. If you’re looking for help improving your everyday life – or for a more tailored therapy experience – you would be a great fit for our individual therapy services. Please reach out to us today for more information or to schedule your first appointment.

Overland Park, Kansas therapist: Melanie Collins, licensed professional counselor
Perfectionism

Melanie Collins

Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Perfectionism often looks like high standards from the outside while feeling like relentless pressure on the inside. It can show up as overthinking, procrastination, people-pleasing, fear of mistakes, difficulty resting, or the persistent sense that whatever you do is never quite enough. I help clients understand what drives these patterns, loosen the connection between performance and self-worth, and develop standards that support growth without requiring constant self-criticism. The goal isn’t to stop caring about doing things well—it’s to make “good enough” actually feel good enough.

Minneapolis, Minnesota therapist: Dr. Meghan Miller, psychologist
Perfectionism

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.

Waxhaw, North Carolina therapist: Chelsie Ciminelli, licensed clinical social worker
Perfectionism

Chelsie Ciminelli

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who struggle with perfectionism, excessive self-criticism, fear of failure, or the feeling that they must constantly achieve, perform, or get things right in order to feel worthy. Together, we explore the deeper beliefs and protective patterns that can drive perfectionism, including the fear of judgment, rejection, failure, or not being “enough.” Through a trauma-informed, somatic, and compassionate approach, I help clients develop greater self-acceptance, flexibility, and safety within themselves while learning to separate their inherent worth from their accomplishments. Our work creates space to pursue growth and meaningful goals without living under the constant pressure to prove yourself.

Poulsbo, 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.

Norfolk, Virginia therapist: A Little Healing LLC, counselor/therapist
Perfectionism

A Little Healing LLC

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Perfectionism can make even your accomplishments feel like they’re never quite enough. You may set impossibly high expectations for yourself, overthink mistakes, compare yourself to others, procrastinate because you’re afraid of getting it wrong, or constantly move the finish line instead of allowing yourself to feel proud. I work with women who are exhausted from believing their worth depends on how well they perform, how much they accomplish, or how others perceive them. Together, we’ll explore what drives the pressure to be perfect and work toward replacing constant self-criticism with self-compassion, flexibility, and a stronger sense of worth that isn’t dependent on getting everything right.

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.
