Perfectionism
Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often involves far more than simply having high standards. Many individuals struggling with perfectionism experience chronic self-criticism, fear of failure, anxiety, procrastination, emotional burnout, shame, difficulty relaxing, or a persistent feeling that they are never “good enough” regardless of achievement or external success.
I help clients better understand the emotional and relational roots of perfectionistic patterns while developing greater self-compassion, psychological flexibility, and a healthier relationship with achievement, performance, and self-worth. Therapy focuses on reducing rigid thinking and chronic pressure while helping clients build more balanced, meaningful, and emotionally sustainable ways of living.

Perfectionism
Natasha Vandamme
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Perfectionism or self doubt can make it hard to feel good enough, leaving you pushing through even when something inside still hurts. Therapy can be a place where you no longer have to carry that alone. If you’re hoping to unfold your emotional truth and nurture your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you, therapy can be a space to honor your emotions, explore how your experiences have shaped you, and live more in alignment with your needs, values, and desires. Together we will create a space to connect with your emotions and gently explore the ways you learned to protect yourself. With compassionate curiosity, we can discover what empowers you to love and trust yourself more deeply.

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.
