Kelly O'Connor
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC, ADHD-CCSP
Perfectionism can create constant pressure and self-criticism that’s tough to shake. Together, we identify the patterns behind these high expectations, practice self-compassion, and develop flexible, achievable goals. In a supportive, collaborative space, we work to reduce the stress perfectionism causes and build a healthier, more balanced mindset.

Desert to Peaks Psychology
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Our approach to working with perfectionism is compassionate, insight-driven, and practical. Perfectionism often develops as a strategy for achieving, gaining approval, or protecting against failure, and it can coexist with high ambition and success. Together, we explore the underlying fears, standards, and self-beliefs that fuel the pressure, while separating healthy striving from patterns that lead to burnout, anxiety, or self-criticism. Sessions may focus on helping you build more flexible thinking, strengthen self-compassion, and redefine worth beyond productivity or performance. Through evidence-based tools and thoughtful challenge, your therapist will help you work toward maintaining excellence without sacrificing well-being.

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.

Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside but often feels like pressure, self-criticism, and never feeling “enough.” I help clients understand the roots of perfectionism and develop more flexible, compassionate ways of relating to themselves. The goal is to maintain excellence without sacrificing your well-being.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
You may be accomplished, dependable, and highly capable, yet rarely feel satisfied with what you do. Mistakes can feel disproportionately threatening, rest can bring guilt, and even meaningful achievements may provide only brief relief before the next internal imperative takes over. I work with high achievers who are tired of being driven by self-criticism, fear of failure, or the feeling that they must continually prove their worth. Rather than simply trying to counteract perfectionist urges, we explore what perfectionism has come to mean and what it helps you avoid or protect against. The goal is to preserve your ambition while loosening the grip of the inner critic, so that your effort becomes a value-driven choice rather than a condition you use to determine your worth.
