Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who hold themselves to very high standards and feel the cost of that internally. Perfectionism can look like overworking, difficulty stopping, constant self‑criticism, or a sense that nothing is ever quite enough. It can also look like procrastination, avoidance, or shutting down when something feels too overwhelming or too important to get wrong. Many people I see are highly responsible and often successful on the outside, but feel tense, depleted, or quietly anxious much of the time.
Perfectionism often develops as a way to stay safe, cope with unpredictability, or manage early experiences where being competent, careful, or invisible felt necessary. Over time, these strategies can become exhausting. You may notice that you rarely feel satisfied, that rest feels undeserved, or that you are harder on yourself than anyone else would ever be, even when you are doing your best.
In our work together, we make space for the part of you that strives and the part of you that is tired of striving. Rather than forcing you to “let go” of high standards, we get curious about what perfectionism has been protecting and what it is costing you now. We pay attention to how perfectionism shows up in your body, thoughts, and relationships, and look for ways of relating to yourself that are still responsible and thoughtful but less punishing, so you can experience more ease, satisfaction, and permission to be human in your work, relationships, and inner life. Working with perfectionism is a central part of my practice, and I have deep respect for how hard you’ve been working to hold everything together.

Online in Savannah, GA
Savannah is one of the American South's most historically significant cities, a port town with deep antebellum roots, a large Black community whose history is inseparable from the city's identity, and a growing creative and tourism economy anchored by the Savannah College of Art and Design, which brings thousands of students and a vibrant arts community into the city each year. The mental health landscape reflects the sharp racial wealth gap that persists from Savannah's history, with Black residents facing disproportionate barriers to mental health care in a city where the private therapy sector largely serves white and SCAD-connected communities. Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield nearby create additional demand for military and veteran mental health services within the broader metro area. Common therapy concerns include trauma, anxiety, depression, identity and cultural stress, and the experience of building a creative life in a beautiful but economically complex city.
