Perfectionism
Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Perfectionism can look like high standards on the surface, but often comes with anxiety, self-criticism, and difficulty feeling satisfied or at ease. Therapy helps you understand the function of these patterns and develop a more flexible, sustainable way of approaching achievement and self-worth.

Perfectionism
Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You may not identify as a "perfectionist" because you're not doing things perfectly. In reality, people who struggle with perfectionism feel like they're never performing well enough, and they can always find the flaws in everything they do. These tendencies can also with correlate with procrastination. I work with people to improve their self-compassion and self-worth to allow for excellence instead of unrealistic perfection.

Perfectionism
Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Perfectionism isn't actually about having high standards – it's about never feeling good enough no matter what you achieve. You set impossible bars, beat yourself up when you inevitably fall short, and exhaust yourself trying to control outcomes that aren't fully controllable. You might procrastinate because if you can't do something perfectly, why start? Or you might over-prepare to the point of diminishing returns, triple-checking work that was fine three versions ago. The anxiety underneath perfectionism is relentless: the fear of being exposed as inadequate, the worry that one mistake will unravel everything, the belief that your worth depends on flawless performance. I work with clients to understand where perfectionism took root (often it developed as a survival strategy in childhood), distinguish between healthy striving and self-punishing standards, and learn to tolerate the discomfort of "good enough." We'll explore what you're actually afraid will happen if you're not perfect, practice self-compassion when you mess up, and build tolerance for the vulnerability of being imperfect and still worthy. The goal isn't lowering your standards – it's unhooking your self-worth from impossible ones.

Perfectionism
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Therapy can help you navigate the traps related to perfectionism, including procrastination, self-criticism, fear of failure, imposter syndrome, overthinking and fear of falling short. We can work to quiet the inner critic, address black and white thinking in evaluating yourself and your work, and find purpose driven motivation (rather than fear driven). Shifting your inner conversation can result in great relief and can unlock your creativity, reinvigorate your interest and have you feeling proud of your work and your skillset. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from self-sabotaging patterns, and help you to build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Perfectionism
Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Perfectionism isn't about doing things perfectly, it's about finding fault easily. Somewhere along the way, you came to believe that if you did things perfectly, you would be safe and free from worry. Instead, you are still full of worry and are just plain exhausted. Let's work together to figure out how perfectionism serves you, how it doesn't, and how you can find balance and inner peace.
