Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Perfectionism is a difficult, often conflictual problem to have. On the one hand most perfectionist are proud of their conscientousness and it typically has served them well in terms of achieving their professional and personal goals. It can however have an underbelly that can work against them, sometimes working closely with obsessional or ocd tendencies that can become burdensome. Many of my clients have been perfectionists and for those that want to modify this tendency, treatment can help.

Perfectionism is not problematic for everyone, but for some, the drive to always do more and be better can have a negative impact on their daily stress, relationships, and take away from the life they want to be living. We have several providers on our team who have authored books and research on this very topic. Reach out to consult with our perfectionism specialists to discuss treatment.

Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to perform, achieve, or “get it right,” often leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or never fully satisfied. Many people believe they must meet unrealistic standards to be worthy, successful, or accepted — and when those standards aren’t met, it can lead to self‑criticism, burnout, and emotional exhaustion.
In my practice, I help individuals understand where these patterns come from and how perfectionism impacts their daily lives, relationships, and overall well‑being. Together, we work to challenge rigid expectations, build healthier self‑beliefs, and create space for balance, confidence, and self‑compassion. My goal is to help you release the pressure of “always being perfect” and embrace a more grounded, authentic way of living.

Aysha Wells
Counselor/Therapist, LGPC
Perfectionism can make you feel like nothing you do is ever quite enough. I help clients explore the pressure, self-criticism, fear of failure, and unrealistic expectations that can keep them stuck in an exhausting cycle of trying to get everything “right.” Together, we can challenge all-or-nothing thinking, develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, and redefine success in a way that feels sustainable and authentic. My goal is to help you make room for growth, mistakes, rest, and being human—without feeling like you have to earn your worth.
