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.

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.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to get everything right, often leading to stress, procrastination, or feeling like nothing is ever good enough. It can be hard to relax or feel satisfied with what you accomplish. In therapy we will work on understanding where these patterns come from and how to shift them into something more balanced. The goal is to help you feel more flexible, more self accepting, and less weighed down by expectations.

Melanie Simms
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe that self-compassion is the antidote for perfectionism. I work with clients to heal from early traumatic experiences that may have led to the development of perfectionism as a coping mechanism. I help clients develop their overall feeling of self-worth and treat themselves with greater compassion to reduce perfectionistic tendencies.
