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.

William Rees
Life Coach, PCC
Perfectionism can keep you trapped in unrealistic expectations, self-criticism, and the feeling that you’re never quite enough, even when you’re doing your best. Together, we’ll explore the values beneath your drive, cultivate greater self-compassion, and help you pursue meaningful goals without making your self-worth dependent on getting everything right.

Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside but often feels like pressure, self-criticism, and never feeling “enough.” I help clients understand the roots of perfectionism and develop more flexible, compassionate ways of relating to themselves. The goal is to maintain excellence without sacrificing your well-being.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you silently struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Do you appear successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing emotional pain? I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.
Like all people, you have a unique longing in your heart for something higher and more fulfilling. This differs from perfect ego fantasies seeking to compensate for core wound pain. You might have a genuine soul longing for a beautiful love relationship or financial freedom, for example. You might ache to express who you truly are in the world, or perhaps you want to find your core strength and accomplish something magnificent. Your deeper joy is blocked by unhealed childhood core wound pain, and it can be healed.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We work with control and perfectionism in hypnosis and hypnotic regression to uncover limiting beliefs and emotions and explore the root cause memory. Once we process this, there is often a release and a new lease on how we approach things. We remove this programming through the repetitive playing of our hypnotic recording to completely rewire and replace with the newly desired behavior. We work on your sense of self worth, self love and any hardwired belief systems that have led you to place, in many instances, unrealistic expectations that you have set for yourself so that you can still move forward daily with your goals, but so that you do it from a place of love, specifically, love for yourself. We often process guilt and shame and feelings of low self esteem that push individuals over the brink with the nealy impossible task of perfection. You are enough, always remember this. I provide you with tools you can use in your daily life to come back from a panic spiral or feelings of overwhelm, overextension, and burnout. This will return you to feelings of safety with emotional regulation and feeling good in your own skin again.
