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
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.
