Perfectionism
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When new stressors arise, they can activate old patterns like perfectionism that make it hard to cope in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening today while also working to understand how the past is contributing to present symptoms. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can learn techniques to reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Perfectionism
Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Perfectionism can look like high standards and achievement on the outside, but internally it often feels like constant pressure, self-criticism, and fear of making mistakes. You may struggle to feel satisfied with your accomplishments or find that your self-worth rises and falls with performance. In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you challenge rigid thinking patterns, reduce harsh self-talk, and develop a more flexible, values-driven definition of success. Our work focuses on maintaining excellence without sacrificing your well-being, relationships, or sense of self.

Perfectionism
Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can fuel achievement, persistence, and attention to detail, and it is often rewarded in demanding academic and professional environments. Over time, however, unrelenting standards, fear of mistakes, overwork, self-criticism, or tying your worth to your performance can become exhausting and unsustainable. A setback, transition, increased responsibility, or period of burnout may eventually make it impossible to keep meeting the expectations you have set for yourself. When strategies that once helped you succeed stop working, it can feel as though your competence, identity, or life is beginning to unravel.
Working on perfectionism does not mean giving up ambition or settling for less. Therapy can help you understand what drives your perfectionism, distinguish meaningful striving from fear-based pressure, develop more flexible expectations, and respond to mistakes or limitations with greater perspective and self-compassion. The goal is to help you pursue excellence in ways that are healthier, more sustainable, and less dependent on relentless self-criticism.

Perfectionism
Dr. Felicia Jackson
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can look like high standards on the outside but feel like constant pressure on the inside. You may struggle to make decisions, put off tasks until you feel ready, or find it difficult to feel satisfied with your accomplishments. Therapy can help you loosen rigid expectations, take action without needing everything to be perfect, and pursue your goals in ways that leave more room for flexibility, enjoyment, and self-compassion.
