Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to perform, anticipate, and prevent mistakes, often leaving little room for rest or self-compassion. Many women find themselves trapped in cycles of striving that feel productive on the surface but exhausting underneath. In therapy, we work to understand how these patterns developed and build more flexible ways of responding to expectations so that your sense of worth is not tied to constant output.

I help individuals who struggle with perfectionism, high self-criticism, and fear of making mistakes.

Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
I help clients break free from the pressure of perfectionism and the belief that their worth is tied to achievement or getting everything "right." Together, we explore the underlying fears, self-criticism, and unrealistic expectations that fuel perfectionism while developing greater self-compassion, flexibility, and confidence. My goal is to help clients embrace progress over perfection so they can live with greater authenticity, balance, and peace.

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.

Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Perfectionism can be exhausting. It is easy to mistake for having high standards, but it is often an inner voice telling you that nothing is ever quite good enough, no matter how hard you try. During our sessions, we can explore where that voice came from, and why it thinks it is protecting you from judgement, failure, or fear. Together, we can discuss separating your sense of self-worth from your achievements, and accepting mistakes with compassion.
