Stacy Lepley
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CBC
Perfectionism is often a survival strategy—a way to shield ourselves from criticism, failure, or a deep-seated feeling of not being enough. However, the relentless pursuit of an impossible standard inevitably leads to chronic burnout and paralysis. I help you explore the underlying fears driving the need for control. Together, we will work to replace harsh self-imposed rules with flexible boundaries, practicing self-compassion while preserving your natural drive and dedication.

Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Perfectionism is anxiety in disguise. It appears to be on your side, encouraging you to strive to be better. However, it is an unrelenting critic that tells you that you or other people/things are not good enough...ever. It can help you in the beginning to strive for excellence and over-achieve, to be recognized for your accomplishments and capabilities. But your perfectionism does not allow you to truly feel or celebrate all of your effort. Over time, it can look like exhaustion, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, depression, anxiety, procrastination, and feeling like you don't know how to stop from unraveling or being discovered as a fraud. It's a self-imposed prison that feels suffocating to be but even more terrifying to get out of.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings and tendencies such as perfectionism, anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them.

Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Big changes—starting high school or college, changing schools, moving, or figuring out what comes next—can bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. Even positive transitions can feel overwhelming. I help teens and young adults navigate these shifts with more clarity and confidence, building coping skills, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction so you can move forward feeling more grounded.

We provide psychotherapy for individuals struggling with perfectionism, helping clients understand how high self-imposed standards, fear of failure, and self-criticism can impact emotional well-being and daily functioning. Our approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, reducing all-or-nothing thinking, and developing more balanced and compassionate self-evaluations. Through evidence-based strategies, clients learn to tolerate mistakes, set realistic goals, and build flexibility in their expectations. Treatment supports greater self-acceptance, reduced anxiety and burnout, and a healthier, more sustainable approach to achievement and personal growth.

Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism is often praised by the world, but from the inside, it can feel like living with an unrelenting driver that never lets you rest. It keeps you caught in cycles of overworking, fear of failure, procrastination, and a quiet sense that nothing you do is ever quite enough. In our work together, we view perfectionism not as a character flaw, but as a protective armor you built to stay safe or earn approval. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we will work to quiet your harsh inner critic, untangle your self-worth from your productivity, and build a sustainable relationship with success where you can strive for excellence without sacrificing your peace.
