Perfectionism
Dr. Shannon Coleman
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can create relentless pressure to perform, avoid mistakes, or meet impossibly high standards. Therapy can help you examine the beliefs underlying perfectionism, develop more flexible expectations, and pursue goals without being controlled by fear of failure or criticism.

Perfectionism
Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism looks like high standards from the outside and feels like never being enough on the inside. It fuels real achievement and... quiet exhaustion, procrastination, and dread of failing in front of others. I help high-achievers, athletes, and professionals keep the drive while loosening its grip: separating your worth from your performance, so you can pursue excellence without punishing yourself for being human.

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
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.

Perfectionism
Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can create a persistent sense of pressure to meet unrealistic expectations, often accompanied by self-criticism, anxiety, shame, and a fear of failure or disappointing others. While striving for excellence can be meaningful, perfectionism can interfere with our ability to experience satisfaction, authenticity, and genuine connection with others. I help individuals explore the underlying beliefs, experiences, and relational patterns that contribute to perfectionistic tendencies. Together, we examine how self-worth may become tied to achievement, approval, or control while developing greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and acceptance of our human limitations. My goal is to help clients move beyond rigid expectations toward a more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling way of living that allows room for growth, vulnerability, and imperfection.
