Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Registered Psychotherapist, RMHC, CCC, MSc, CCTP
Perfectionism can look like you have it all together on the outside, like everything is okay and perfectly done. But on the inside, it can feel like constant pressure, overthinking, mental listing, and never quite feeling like it’s enough. No real celebration, no slowing down, no fully accepting or believing compliments.
It’s more like always pushing yourself, second-guessing, or feeling like you can’t slow down because everything has to be done a certain way to feel right.
We can work on understanding where that comes from, shifting those patterns, and building a way of living that feels more sustainable and less exhausting.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients who hold themselves to extremely high standards and struggle with self-criticism, overthinking, procrastination, and difficulty feeling satisfied. Perfectionism can look like ambition from the outside, but internally it often creates anxiety, pressure, and fear of making mistakes. In therapy, we work on building self-trust, reducing all-or-nothing thinking, improving follow-through, and creating a healthier relationship with achievement. My goal is to help clients pursue excellence without being driven by constant fear or inadequacy.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.
