Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
I help clients break free from the pressure of perfectionism and the belief that their worth is tied to achievement or getting everything "right." Together, we explore the underlying fears, self-criticism, and unrealistic expectations that fuel perfectionism while developing greater self-compassion, flexibility, and confidence. My goal is to help clients embrace progress over perfection so they can live with greater authenticity, balance, and peace.

Heather O'Brien, PsyD, PMH-C
Psychologist
Perfectionism often develops as more than a preference for high standards; it can become a way of securing approval, preventing criticism, or managing uncertainty. We explore the experiences that made achievement and control feel necessary while practicing more flexible, values-based ways of working, resting, relating, and taking risks.

Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Perfectionism can look like ambition, high standards, or simply wanting to do things well. But underneath the drive to get everything right can be a persistent fear of failure, criticism, disappointment, or not being enough.
You may find yourself overthinking decisions, setting unrealistic expectations, being highly self-critical, or feeling that no matter what you accomplish, it is never quite enough. You may have learned to measure your worth by your productivity, success, appearance, relationships, or ability to meet the expectations of others.
I work with individuals who struggle with perfectionism to understand where these patterns come from and how they may be affecting the way they experience themselves and their lives. Together, we explore the core beliefs and internal expectations that fuel the need to be perfect and examine how those beliefs influence your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices.
Using cognitive behavioral, emotion-focused, mindfulness-based, and strength-based approaches, I help you develop a more compassionate and realistic relationship with yourself. We work on challenging all-or-nothing thinking, tolerating uncertainty and mistakes, and separating your sense of self-worth from your accomplishments.
The goal is not to make you care less or give up the qualities that have helped you succeed. Rather, it is to help you pursue what matters to you without being driven by fear, self-criticism, or the belief that you must be perfect to be worthy.
You don't have to choose between striving for meaningful goals and being at peace with yourself. Therapy can help you create a healthier balance—one where you can achieve, grow, and succeed while also allowing yourself to be human.
