Perfectionism
Kristina Anzell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CPSC
You are used to putting in extra work to get it right. When you don't do something right the first time, you beat yourself up and then spend time learning, researching and then don't stop trying until you get it perfect. The issue... babies do not work that way. They are all different, they are not predictable and they are not able to be controlled. You are spending too much time and energy on something that is "supposed to come naturally" and it feels awful! Get the support you need!

Perfectionism

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, ATR
Many of my clients experience perfectionism secondary to ADHD or anxiety. I enjoy helping clients identify this pattern and explore what is behind it and if its time to change it.

Perfectionism
Shohreh ("Sho-ray") Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
The parts of you that strive for perfection may have learned that having this drive can come with real advantages. The parts of you that try to be perfect may encourage you to do your very best and support you in striving for excellence. However, the relentless push for perfectionism can give you very little space for the mistakes and limitations that come with being human. Over time, the self-criticism and internal pressure tied to inflexible expectations can feel exhausting.
In our sessions together, we can work together to understand the parts of you that are working so very hard. We can explore how they came to be, how they have been helpful and if they are still serving you in the same ways they once were. Supporting you to understand what you would like moving forward and helping you find a more balance way.

Perfectionism
Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people don’t realize that perfectionism isn’t about doing things perfectly—it’s about feeling like anything less than what they had in their minds is unacceptable. This mindset often creates constant self‑criticism, pressure, and a sense that nothing is ever “good enough,” even when you’re working incredibly hard. I help clients notice these patterns with compassion and begin shifting toward a more grounded, accepting way of relating to themselves.

Perfectionism
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I used to joke that I'm a "recovering perfectionist," but trying to recover from it might just be another way of holding ourselves to someone else's standard (of not being "uptight" or "too good" or something). I think the real key is to figure out what our internal compass really wants to point us to. If we were born to pay attention and excel, let's do that in a way that helps us and others thrive, with less shame and stress when we mess up. I'm an Enneagram 1 (I lead with a personality type that can be called "perfectionist" or "idealist"). Maybe you are an Enneagram 1, or a 2 (a people pleaser), or 3 (an achiever). Or maybe you weren't born this way, but your parents pressured you into perfectionism. However perfectionism intersects with your personality, let's find a way to honor its gifts while asking it to rest a bit so other parts of you can also shine.
