High standards can be useful until mistakes feel intolerable, accomplishments never feel sufficient, or self-worth becomes tied to performance. Therapy can help clients recognize rigid patterns, respond differently to uncertainty and imperfection, and pursue meaningful goals without being governed by constant self-criticism.

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.

I utilize the latest research-backed information and therapy techniques to assist adolescents and adults with the challenges experienced with perfectionism, including but not limited to behavior rehearsal, cognitive reframing, coping strategies, assertiveness, communications skills, crisis resolution, emotional containment, homework, interpersonal skills, problem solving, stress reduction, and recommended reading, all within a cognitive-behavioral therapeutic framework

Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Perfectionism can look like ambition, high standards, or simply wanting to do things well. But underneath the drive to get everything right can be a persistent fear of failure, criticism, disappointment, or not being enough.
You may find yourself overthinking decisions, setting unrealistic expectations, being highly self-critical, or feeling that no matter what you accomplish, it is never quite enough. You may have learned to measure your worth by your productivity, success, appearance, relationships, or ability to meet the expectations of others.
I work with individuals who struggle with perfectionism to understand where these patterns come from and how they may be affecting the way they experience themselves and their lives. Together, we explore the core beliefs and internal expectations that fuel the need to be perfect and examine how those beliefs influence your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices.
Using cognitive behavioral, emotion-focused, mindfulness-based, and strength-based approaches, I help you develop a more compassionate and realistic relationship with yourself. We work on challenging all-or-nothing thinking, tolerating uncertainty and mistakes, and separating your sense of self-worth from your accomplishments.
The goal is not to make you care less or give up the qualities that have helped you succeed. Rather, it is to help you pursue what matters to you without being driven by fear, self-criticism, or the belief that you must be perfect to be worthy.
You don't have to choose between striving for meaningful goals and being at peace with yourself. Therapy can help you create a healthier balance—one where you can achieve, grow, and succeed while also allowing yourself to be human.

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.
