Perfectionism
Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in perfectionism.
Perfectionism is rarely about wanting to do well. By the time people reach me it has usually become a source of paralysis rather than achievement: work put off because it has to be flawless, projects rewritten past the point of improvement, exhaustion from standards that rise as soon as you meet them, and self-criticism that arrives instantly and stays. The praise, when it comes, does not land.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we take up what perfection has been protecting against. It carries an unconscious logic worth understanding, generally rooted in fear, shame, or a story about what you must be in order to be acceptable. In sessions we follow that story to where it started. As it becomes visible as something learned, it tends to loosen its grip on ordinary tasks.
If perfectionism has begun costing you more than it returns, I would be glad to talk.

Perfectionism
Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
I work with folks to better understand the nuances of their perfectionism. Perfectionism can be particularly challenging because of the ways it can feel so beneficial to one's life at times. I try to help my clients understand the way their perfectionism helps them, hurts them, and why it might have felt necessary in the past, so they can feel more free in choosing how they want to interact with the world.

Perfectionism
Heather Watson-Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I help individuals who struggle with perfectionism, high self-criticism, and fear of making mistakes. Therapy focuses on shifting rigid thinking patterns, reducing pressure, and building a healthier, more flexible mindset. Clients learn to pursue goals with balance, self-compassion, and greater satisfaction.

Perfectionism
The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
Perfectionism can leave you feeling trapped in a cycle of self-criticism, fear of failure, and the belief that you are never "good enough." From an Adlerian perspective, perfectionism is often rooted in discouragement and the mistaken belief that your worth depends on flawless performance or the approval of others. In therapy, we'll work together to challenge these patterns, cultivate self-compassion, and develop the courage to embrace progress over perfection. My goal is to help you build confidence, strengthen resilience, and experience the freedom that comes from living authentically rather than striving for impossible standards.
