Perfectionism
Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Perfectionism isn't actually about having high standards – it's about never feeling good enough no matter what you achieve. You set impossible bars, beat yourself up when you inevitably fall short, and exhaust yourself trying to control outcomes that aren't fully controllable. You might procrastinate because if you can't do something perfectly, why start? Or you might over-prepare to the point of diminishing returns, triple-checking work that was fine three versions ago. The anxiety underneath perfectionism is relentless: the fear of being exposed as inadequate, the worry that one mistake will unravel everything, the belief that your worth depends on flawless performance. I work with clients to understand where perfectionism took root (often it developed as a survival strategy in childhood), distinguish between healthy striving and self-punishing standards, and learn to tolerate the discomfort of "good enough." We'll explore what you're actually afraid will happen if you're not perfect, practice self-compassion when you mess up, and build tolerance for the vulnerability of being imperfect and still worthy. The goal isn't lowering your standards – it's unhooking your self-worth from impossible ones.

Perfectionism
Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Claudia Blackwell talks about how perfectionism is born out of shame. It's a quote that has stuck with me for years. Perfectionism causes us to feel like we are never good enough, directly attacking our self-worth. Supportive therapy can help us identify the attacks of perfectionism, learn the language of our inner critic, and forge a path forward with self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Perfectionism
Catherine Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LMHC
Perfectionism can look like high standards and success on the outside, but internally it often feels like constant pressure, self-criticism, and the fear of getting something wrong. When your self-worth starts to feel tied to performance, it can become exhausting to maintain the pace you expect from yourself.
I work with individuals who struggle with perfectionism, overthinking, and the pressure to always do more or be better. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we focus on understanding the patterns that drive perfectionism and developing practical tools to challenge harsh self-criticism, manage anxiety, and build a healthier relationship with achievement.
My approach is supportive, honest, and empowering—creating a space where you can maintain your ambition while learning to step out of the cycle of constant pressure and self-doubt.
