Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
When treating perfectionism, I focus helping individuals who struggle with excessively high standards, self-criticism, and fear of failure. This work supports clients in understanding how perfectionistic patterns affect their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, often leading to stress, anxiety, or burnout. Using evidence-based strategies, counseling helps clients challenge unrealistic expectations, develop self-compassion, and build healthier approaches to achievement and personal growth. The goal is to help individuals pursue excellence without being trapped by fear, guilt, or the need to be flawless.

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.

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.

Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Perfectionism often masks a deeper fear of not being enough as you are. We will trace where that pressure came from and practice a more honest, sustainable relationship with effort, mistakes, and self-worth.

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.

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Perfectionism often looks like high standards, strong work ethic, and attention to detail — but internally it can feel like pressure, self-criticism, fear of failure, or a constant sense that nothing is ever quite enough. Many people with perfectionistic patterns are deeply capable, yet quietly exhausted from trying to get things “right” all the time.
In therapy, we explore perfectionism not as a flaw to eliminate, but as an adaptive strategy that once served an important purpose — often related to safety, belonging, approval, or avoiding shame. From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed lens, we gently look at how these patterns developed and how they continue to shape your relationship with yourself, your creativity, and others.
Rather than trying to replace perfectionism with productivity hacks or forced positivity, this work supports a deeper shift in how you relate to internal pressure. We begin to notice what happens in your body when perfectionism is activated — the tightening, urgency, fear, or collapse — and what might be happening underneath those experiences.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we slow down enough to access the “felt sense” of perfectionism, allowing space for the parts of you that are striving, protecting, or afraid to be met with curiosity rather than judgment. This often opens the door to new internal possibilities that cannot be reached through thinking alone.
As clients develop greater awareness and nervous system regulation, perfectionism often begins to soften. This does not mean losing ambition or care, but rather shifting from a driven, fear-based relationship with achievement to one that includes self-trust, flexibility, and internal permission.
This approach is especially supportive for creatives, professionals, and highly sensitive individuals who feel blocked, burned out, or disconnected from their natural creativity because of internal pressure to perform or succeed.
Over time, therapy supports a more sustainable relationship with your inner standards — one that allows for both excellence and ease, structure and spaciousness, effort and rest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Perfectionism isn't about caring too much about quality — it's usually about fear. Fear of failure, of judgment, of being exposed as not enough. It often began as a smart survival strategy in an environment where mistakes felt dangerous. But somewhere along the way, the inner critic that helped you stay safe started running the show, and now nothing you do ever quite feels like enough. I work with perfectionism through IFS — getting to know the parts that drive it with curiosity and compassion, rather than just trying to think your way out of patterns that live much deeper than thought.

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.

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.
