Perfectionism
Kristina Anzell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CPSC
You are used to putting in extra work to get it right. When you don't do something right the first time, you beat yourself up and then spend time learning, researching and then don't stop trying until you get it perfect. The issue... babies do not work that way. They are all different, they are not predictable and they are not able to be controlled. You are spending too much time and energy on something that is "supposed to come naturally" and it feels awful! Get the support you need!

Perfectionism
Eve Picower
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
This may sound strange, but perfectionism is not perfect! Perfectionism is actually linked to high stress levels, procrastination, poor sleep, anxiety, depression and harsh self criticism, fear of failure, difficulty making decisions, and even interpersonal challenges. Does this sound like you? I hope you won't let perfectionism get in the way of reaching out to me for help.

Perfectionism: The High Cost of Being "Flawless"
Moving from Performance to Presence
Perfectionism is often rewarded by society, but internally, it can feel like a relentless taskmaster. It is the persistent whisper that says you are only as good as your last achievement, leading to a life of high-functioning burnout and a profound disconnection from your true self. In my practice, we don’t just "lower your standards"; we investigate the attachment roots of why "being perfect" became your primary strategy for safety and belonging.
The Perfectionist’s Paradox
Perfectionism isn't actually about excellence—it’s about protection. We work together to untangle:
The Procrastination Loop: Addressing the "all-or-nothing" thinking that leads to demand avoidance and paralyzing anxiety when a task feels too important to start.
Rejection Sensitivity: Understanding how the fear of a "flaw" is actually a fear of disconnection. If you aren't perfect, will you still be worthy of love and respect?
The "Shame-Vigilance" Cycle: The exhausting effort of "masking" your struggles to maintain a composed exterior, leading to a systemic shut down.
A Systems-Rooted Clinical Approach
With over 20 years of experience, I use a deep-reaching framework to help you trade "perfection" for "wholeness":
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "Perfectionist Part" of your system. This part likely took on its job very early to protect you from criticism or instability. We work to help this part feel safe enough to finally rest.
EMDR for Performance Anxiety: We use EMDR to process past memories of "failure" or moments where your worth was tied to your performance, neutralizing the triggers that fuel today's perfectionism.
Somatic Regulation: We learn to recognize the physical tension of "trying too hard" and use grounding tools to expand your Window of Tolerance, allowing you to be present even when things are messy.
For the "Professional" Perfectionists
As someone who works extensively with therapists, pastors, and professors, I understand the unique pressure of having to be a "model" of wellness or wisdom. I provide a confidential, courageous space where you can drop the "expert" mask and explore the messy, beautiful reality of being human.

Perfectionism
Dr. Felicia Fisher-Green
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
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
Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Perfectionism in high-achievement culture is often mistaken for a strength — and for a while, it is. But for the men I work with, perfectionism has become a relentless internal critic that raises the standard the moment the last one is met, makes rest feel dangerous, and turns every imperfection into evidence of inadequacy. Through Character Driven Therapy, I help high-performing men understand where their perfectionism originated, what it's been protecting them from, and how to pursue excellence without being tyrannized by it — because the goal is not to lower your standards, it's to stop letting your standards determine your worth.
