Perfectionism
Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I've found that these early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships. Many have deep, toxic shame, about their authentic selves which often results in a high degree of perfectionism to avoid feeling that shame. In session, we can work through the multifaceted parts that drive perfectionism, and give that part of yourself permission to take on a new, more adaptive role.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
Perfectionism usually isn't about high standards - it's about safety. I help you understand where the need to get everything right came from, what it's protecting you from feeling, and what becomes possible when you're not constantly proving your worth through performance.

I work with clients who tie their sense of worth to achievement, productivity, financial success, or being the person who always gets things right. In therapy, we explore the beliefs underneath perfectionism and work toward a healthier relationship with ambition, mistakes, rest, and self-worth without asking you to give up the goals that matter to you.

Perfectionism
Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
While aspects of perfectionism have often been helpful for folks to achieve and get to where they are in life, it also has a shadow side rooted in fear of failure, shame, and anxiety. Additionally, our society often reinforces perfectionism in ways that make it difficult from which to un-tangle. Our work will hold the ways it has been helpful while also challenging you to gain comfort with 'good enough' approaches to life.
