Perfectionism
Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Perfectionism can look like competence and high achievement from the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. If you're constantly evaluating yourself or feeling that what you do is never quite enough, therapy can help you soften the inner pressure and develop greater self-trust and ease.

Perfectionism
Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside but often feels like pressure, self-criticism, and never feeling “enough.” I help clients understand the roots of perfectionism and develop more flexible, compassionate ways of relating to themselves. The goal is to maintain excellence without sacrificing your well-being.

Perfectionism
Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people don’t realize that perfectionism isn’t about doing things perfectly—it’s about feeling like anything less than what they had in their minds is unacceptable. This mindset often creates constant self‑criticism, pressure, and a sense that nothing is ever “good enough,” even when you’re working incredibly hard. I help clients notice these patterns with compassion and begin shifting toward a more grounded, accepting way of relating to themselves.

Perfectionism
Shohreh ("Sho-ray") Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
The parts of you that strive for perfection may have learned that having this drive can come with real advantages. The parts of you that try to be perfect may encourage you to do your very best and support you in striving for excellence. However, the relentless push for perfectionism can give you very little space for the mistakes and limitations that come with being human. Over time, the self-criticism and internal pressure tied to inflexible expectations can feel exhausting.
In our sessions together, we can work together to understand the parts of you that are working so very hard. We can explore how they came to be, how they have been helpful and if they are still serving you in the same ways they once were. Supporting you to understand what you would like moving forward and helping you find a more balance way.

Perfectionism
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.
