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.

Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Perfectionism is not about high standards. It is about self-worth becoming dependent on performance, productivity, and getting things “right.” It often leads to burnout, procrastination, and a constant feeling of never doing enough.
Our work focuses on breaking the cycle of overperformance and self-pressure, helping you build a more sustainable way of functioning that does not require constant self-sacrifice.

Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
Perfectionism often arises from internalized expectations and self-critical patterns that create stress and self-doubt. I help clients explore the parts of themselves driving these tendencies and the underlying emotions behind them. Together, we work toward self-compassion, balance, and the ability to pursue goals without being ruled by fear or self-judgment.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients who hold themselves to extremely high standards and struggle with self-criticism, overthinking, procrastination, and difficulty feeling satisfied. Perfectionism can look like ambition from the outside, but internally it often creates anxiety, pressure, and fear of making mistakes. In therapy, we work on building self-trust, reducing all-or-nothing thinking, improving follow-through, and creating a healthier relationship with achievement. My goal is to help clients pursue excellence without being driven by constant fear or inadequacy.

Melena Ayres
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, LCDC
Perfectionism can look like high standards on the outside—but on the inside, it often feels like pressure, fear of failure, and never feeling “good enough.” It can keep us stuck, burned out, or constantly second-guessing ourselves. I help clients move away from rigid expectations and toward self-compassion, flexibility, and a healthier, more sustainable way of showing up in their lives. We oftentimes notice a remarkable improvement in our relationship with ourselves and with others as we heal our perfectionism.

Greg Rico
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC
Procrastination, burn-out, and defeatist thinking are often the results of seeking perfection. Emotionally seeking perfection can be the result of fear of being less than, not good enough, all-or-nothing mindset. These elements can have an impact on your self-worth which can affect self-confidence and relationships. Our work will include self-compassion, realistic goal setting and developing a growth mindset.

David J Schlosz
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
Perfectionism is often driven not by high standards alone, but by fear of failure, shame, rejection, or feeling “not enough.” While perfectionism may create achievement, it frequently comes at the cost of peace, self-worth, connection, and emotional freedom. Therapy helps clients explore the deeper roots of perfectionism while learning how to relate to themselves with greater compassion and flexibility.

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.

CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
High standards are great until they stop working for you. At The CBT Center, we help patients untangle perfectionism from productivity and figure out where the drive to get it right is actually getting in the way. We use CBT, ACT, and self-compassion approaches to help people do good work without the constant self-criticism that makes everything harder. You can still have high standards. We'll just make them work for you instead of against you.

Jonathan Hock -- Therapy for Men
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism in men often reflects a deeper struggle with control, expectation, and the desire to prove worth. It can drive relentless effort while quietly limiting fulfillment, connection, and authenticity. I work with men to explore the fears and beliefs that fuel perfectionism and how it shapes daily life and choices. The goal is not to eliminate striving, but to bring awareness and intention to it so effort aligns with purpose rather than anxiety, allowing men to engage with life more fully and freely.

Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards alone. For many people it’s a strategy to prevent criticism, mistakes, or rejection. You may spend a lot of mental energy preparing, rechecking, and evaluating yourself, and still feel uneasy afterward. Even accomplishments often bring relief rather than satisfaction.
Therapy focuses on understanding what your mind is trying to protect you from. Instead of forcing yourself to “care less,” we work with the parts of you that feel responsible for preventing problems and gradually help your system tolerate being human without constant self-monitoring. As the underlying fear settles, effort and performance often become more sustainable and less exhausting.
