Perfectionism
Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Perfectionism often looks like high standards from the outside while feeling like relentless pressure on the inside. It can show up as overthinking, procrastination, people-pleasing, fear of mistakes, difficulty resting, or the persistent sense that whatever you do is never quite enough. I help clients understand what drives these patterns, loosen the connection between performance and self-worth, and develop standards that support growth without requiring constant self-criticism. The goal isn’t to stop caring about doing things well—it’s to make “good enough” actually feel good enough.

Perfectionism
Dr. Katy Crone
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Perfectionism may stem from and be reinforced from many sources including neurobiology, societal pressures, and messages of conditions of worthiness. Let us help you untangle your own flavor of perfectionism with insight and tangible skills for reducing rigidity and increasing self assuredness.

Perfectionism
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
You may be accomplished, dependable, and highly capable, yet rarely feel satisfied with what you do. Mistakes can feel disproportionately threatening, rest can bring guilt, and even meaningful achievements may provide only brief relief before the next internal imperative takes over. I work with high achievers who are tired of being driven by self-criticism, fear of failure, or the feeling that they must continually prove their worth. Rather than simply trying to counteract perfectionist urges, we explore what perfectionism has come to mean and what it helps you avoid or protect against. The goal is to preserve your ambition while loosening the grip of the inner critic, so that your effort becomes a value-driven choice rather than a condition you use to determine your worth.

Perfectionism
Michele Robison, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Individuals who struggle with perfectionism typically experience anxiety. I help my clients not only learn what drives their perfectionism, but I help them learn how to free themselves from the beliefs that drive their perfectionism utilizing CBT and when appropriate, EMDR.

Perfectionism
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.
