Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Jocelyn Jarman
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards. Beneath the relentless striving, the self-criticism, the difficulty delegating, the fear of starting things you might not finish perfectly, and the exhausting internal commentary that follows you through every task and decision — there is almost always something much more tender: a deep and often old belief that your worth is conditional. That love, belonging, and safety must be earned through performance. That who you are, separate from what you achieve, is somehow not quite enough. Perfectionism can look like success from the outside — and often is accompanied by real accomplishment — but on the inside it tends to feel like a treadmill that never stops, where nothing you do quite measures up and rest feels dangerous. It shows up in the student who shuts down rather than risk getting something wrong, the professional who works twice as hard as everyone around them and still feels like a fraud, the parent who holds themselves to an impossible standard and quietly passes that anxiety on to their children, and the person who has wanted to try something new for years but cannot bear the thought of being a beginner. At Deserts Bloom Therapy, perfectionism is explored with both curiosity and compassion — because underneath it is not a character flaw but a deeply human attempt to feel safe and loved. Using CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches, the work gently untangles the beliefs that keep perfectionism in place, builds a more grounded and self-compassionate relationship with your own humanity, and creates space for you to discover what it might feel like to be enough — not when you finally get everything right, but right now, exactly as you are.

Perfectionism
Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Perfectionism can look like achievement, drive, and high standards on the outside—but on the inside, it often feels like pressure, self-criticism, and never quite being “enough.” As a therapist who works with perfectionism, I help clients untangle the fear and self-doubt that fuel the constant striving, and create space for a more balanced, compassionate way of living. Together, we’ll explore where these patterns began, how they show up in your relationships, work, and self-talk, and what they may be protecting you from. Therapy isn’t about lowering your standards—it’s about shifting from harsh self-judgment to sustainable growth. You can pursue excellence without sacrificing your well-being. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and practical. We’ll build tools to quiet your inner critic, tolerate imperfection, and reconnect with your values—so success feels fulfilling rather than exhausting. You deserve a life driven by intention, not fear.

Perfectionism
Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Unhealed core wounds can instigate an anxiety-driven "perfection plan" for happiness that you hope will compensate for your deepest fears about yourself. Negative core wound identities sound like this: I am not good enough. I am not important. I am flawed. I am not worthy. I am not valued. I don’t deserve love. I am not acceptable the way I am. I am too different. I don’t belong. I am not worthy of love. I am a burden. I am weird. I am a loser. I am not wanted. I am inadequate. I am powerless. I am unlovable. I am alone.
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.
