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.

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.

Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
I have spent an extensive amount of time researching, writing and working with patients with perfectionism. I am aware and address the many challenges perfectionists face when entering therapy. In general, perfectionists may be prone to terminating therapy prematurely. For example, a self-oriented perfectionist may interpret seeking help as though they are flawed and end the relationships quickly. Socially oriented perfectionists may want to please their therapist and thus not reveal thoughts and feelings and feel dissatisfied with the therapy process. By discussing the therapy relationship and monitoring thoughts and feelings throughout the process premature termination can be avoided. Through the therapy relationship perfectionists may also develop and internalize new coping skills to manage expectations. For example, new relationship experiences that occur in the therapy relationship (ex: expressing needs or being vulnerable) may generalize to other social settings. Other oriented perfectionists who can learn to accept the imperfections of their therapist can learn to possibly be more tolerant of others.
I also work with perfectionist patients on learning to manage anxiety regarding expectations and teach self-acceptance and compassion skills using mindfulness and Buddhist influenced interventions. I also help perfectionists identify and manage maladaptive cognitions and patterns that lead to distress. I help perfectionists develop more balanced thinking. I help teach self-oriented perfectionists how to set boundaries and say “no” to others. Many perfectionists, particularly self-oriented perfectionists are reluctant to let go of expectations fearing this will impair performance. Managing perfectionism however, does not necessarily mean desiring less, but changing one’s relationship and response to when expectations are not met.

Mackson Psychology
Psychologist, Samantha Mackson, Psy.D.
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to meet unrealistic expectations, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, or never quite good enough. I help clients challenge these patterns, develop greater self-compassion, and find a healthier balance between striving for growth and accepting yourself as you are.

Jessica Cronk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LAC
Perfectionism often looks like achievement from the outside, but internally it can create anxiety, self-criticism, burnout, and a persistent feeling that nothing is ever quite good enough. I help clients understand the beliefs and fears that fuel perfectionism while developing healthier ways of pursuing excellence without sacrificing well-being. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT and ACT, we work to challenge rigid standards, build self-trust, and create a more sustainable relationship with achievement and success.
