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.

Akilah Yates
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, NCC, CCTP, CTMH
Do you place unrealistic expectations on yourself, struggle with the fear of failure, or feel that nothing you accomplish is ever good enough? Perfectionism can contribute to anxiety, burnout, self-criticism, and difficulty enjoying your achievements. I help individuals explore the underlying beliefs driving perfectionistic tendencies, challenge all-or-nothing thinking, and develop a healthier relationship with success and self-worth. Together, we'll work on practicing self-compassion, setting realistic expectations, and recognizing that your value is not determined by your productivity or accomplishments.

Bloom Behavioral Health Ptrs
Treatment Center, Psy'D, LPC, LMSW, CAADC, CCS
Perfectionism can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, procrastination, and feelings of never being "good enough." Therapy helps individuals identify unhelpful thought patterns, reduce self-criticism, build self-compassion, and develop healthier standards that support success without sacrificing well-being.

Dr. Felicia Jackson
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can look like high standards on the outside but feel like constant pressure on the inside. You may struggle to make decisions, put off tasks until you feel ready, or find it difficult to feel satisfied with your accomplishments. Therapy can help you loosen rigid expectations, take action without needing everything to be perfect, and pursue your goals in ways that leave more room for flexibility, enjoyment, and self-compassion.

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.
