San Diego, California therapist: Sarah Koerner, psychologist
Perfectionism

Sarah Koerner

Psychologist, PsyD
I have many years of experience working with clients stuck in a perfectionism loop, especially those with trauma histories. I often see perfectionism as a coping strategy which used to be helpful for a client but now is perhaps getting in their way. Sessions with me feel like a real conversation with clinical info and suggestions peppered in. I believe humor and joy are often useful to help shift perspective. My goal is for clients to learn how to live in the present so that they can engage more fully in their lives.

San Diego, California therapist: Tara McGrath, marriage and family therapist
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.

Irvine, California therapist: Monica M. Huston, marriage and family therapist
Perfectionism

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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Timothy Weymann, licensed clinical social worker
Perfectionism

Timothy Weymann

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Perfectionism can look like achievement, drive, and high standards on the outside—but on the inside, it often feels like pressure, self-criticism, and never quite being “enough.” As a therapist who works with perfectionism, I help clients untangle the fear and self-doubt that fuel the constant striving, and create space for a more balanced, compassionate way of living. Together, we’ll explore where these patterns began, how they show up in your relationships, work, and self-talk, and what they may be protecting you from. Therapy isn’t about lowering your standards—it’s about shifting from harsh self-judgment to sustainable growth. You can pursue excellence without sacrificing your well-being. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and practical. We’ll build tools to quiet your inner critic, tolerate imperfection, and reconnect with your values—so success feels fulfilling rather than exhausting. You deserve a life driven by intention, not fear.

Yorba Linda, California therapist: New Beginnings Christian Counseling, marriage and family therapist
Perfectionism

New Beginnings Christian Counseling

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to perform, achieve, or appear “good enough,” often leaving you exhausted, anxious, or self-critical. It’s usually rooted in early experiences, fear of failure, or unmet expectations. In therapy, we explore the beliefs driving perfectionistic patterns, develop healthier self-compassion, and create practical strategies for balance and emotional freedom. With Christ-centered guidance, you’ll learn to embrace progress over perfection, honor your worth, and live with greater peace and authenticity.
