Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Claudia Blackwell talks about how perfectionism is born out of shame. It's a quote that has stuck with me for years. Perfectionism causes us to feel like we are never good enough, directly attacking our self-worth. Supportive therapy can help us identify the attacks of perfectionism, learn the language of our inner critic, and forge a path forward with self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
Many of my clients have extremely high standards for themselves and base their self-worth on their ability to meet those standards. Usually perfectionism works to a certain point in their life - until it doesn't. On the inside, it can feel like nothing is ever quite good enough, rest feels unearned, and perfectionists can feel like they're one mistake away from a total meltdown. I help high-achievers loosen perfectionism's grip without losing their edge. I help performers work to be ambitious and at peace with themselves. To strive in a healthy way, and still feel like enough.

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.
