Kansas City, Kansas therapist: Kristina Young, therapist
Perfectionism

Kristina Young

Therapist, LCMFT
Whether you live with a great deal of perfectionism as a result of suspected OCD, established OCD, or as a stand-alone experience, you're likely feeling hemmed in and weighed down by the weight of your own expectations and/ or standards. Late stage perfectionism is a heavy burden to carry and has a way of making your life feel increasingly constricted. However, perfectionistic parts of ourselves are usually active for a reason- together, we can gently uncover the roots of your perfectionistic part(s), understand them better, and shift them into less extreme roles so that you can live more expansively and, dare I say, imperfectly.

Overland Park, Kansas therapist: Melanie Collins, licensed professional counselor
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.

Lawrence, Kansas therapist: Shannon Gorres, life coach
Perfectionism

Shannon Gorres

Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I used to joke that I'm a "recovering perfectionist," but trying to recover from it might just be another way of holding ourselves to someone else's standard (of not being "uptight" or "too good" or something). I think the real key is to figure out what our internal compass really wants to point us to. If we were born to pay attention and excel, let's do that in a way that helps us and others thrive, with less shame and stress when we mess up. I'm an Enneagram 1 (I lead with a personality type that can be called "perfectionist" or "idealist"). Maybe you are an Enneagram 1, or a 2 (a people pleaser), or 3 (an achiever). Or maybe you weren't born this way, but your parents pressured you into perfectionism. However perfectionism intersects with your personality, let's find a way to honor its gifts while asking it to rest a bit so other parts of you can also shine.

Nashville, Tennessee therapist: Dr. Joe Rustum, psychologist
Perfectionism

Dr. Joe Rustum

Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients who hold themselves to extremely high standards and struggle with self-criticism, overthinking, procrastination, and difficulty feeling satisfied. Perfectionism can look like ambition from the outside, but internally it often creates anxiety, pressure, and fear of making mistakes. In therapy, we work on building self-trust, reducing all-or-nothing thinking, improving follow-through, and creating a healthier relationship with achievement. My goal is to help clients pursue excellence without being driven by constant fear or inadequacy.

Perfectionism

Kourtney Bennett

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often develops as an understandable way of coping rather than simply setting high standards. Together, we'll explore the experiences that shaped these patterns, reduce harsh self-criticism, and help you build a healthier relationship with achievement, mistakes, and self-worth.
