Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Perfectionism often masquerades as high standards, but underneath it’s usually a fear-driven strategy for avoiding shame or criticism. I help clients trace where that pattern was learned and separate genuine excellence from the exhausting, anxious version that never feels like enough.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Perfectionism is rarely about excellence alone. It often develops when achievement, control, or being beyond criticism becomes tied to safety, worth, belonging, or protection from shame. What may appear as discipline can quietly produce procrastination, overworking, indecision, self-criticism, and an inability to feel satisfied even after success. Therapy explores what imperfection has come to mean, separates healthy ambition from fear-driven performance, and builds the capacity to take risks, make mistakes, and remain worthy without continually proving it.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Perfectionism often develops as a way to manage anxiety, self-worth, and fear of failure. While it can lead to high achievement, it can also create pressure, rigidity, and dissatisfaction. I help individuals understand the underlying drivers of perfectionism and develop more flexible, balanced ways of approaching themselves and their work.

Hayden Dover
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Perfectionism often looks like high standards, but underneath it there may be anxiety, self-pressure, fear of mistakes, shame, or difficulty trusting yourself. I work with perfectionism as a pattern that can limit freedom, pleasure, creativity, and connection. Our work focuses on understanding what perfectionism is protecting, how it lives in the body and relationships, and how to build more flexibility, self-acceptance, and alignment with your values.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I generally view myself as a "recovering perfectionist" and would be happy to support you in your journey with this as well! I find that empathy and validation go a long way with this, as well as a focus on radical self-acceptance and self-compassion. We may work on direct coping skills, adjusting your internal self-dialogue, and developing mindful self-compassion skills in a more formalized way as needed. I strive for all of my clients to accept themselves as "perfectly imperfect humans," as we all are.
