Perfectionism
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
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.

Perfectionism
Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
In therapy, I help individuals understand the emotional and relational patterns beneath perfectionistic striving, so that they can relate to themselves with greater freedom, flexibility, and self-trust. The aim is not to lower one’s standards, but to loosen the grip of harsh self-demand and make room for a fuller, more livable way of being.

Perfectionism
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.
