Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Perfectionism often disguises itself as high standards, but beneath it is usually fear—fear of making a mistake, being judged, or not being enough. It can leave you overthinking, procrastinating, and waiting for the "right" time, the perfect plan, or one more revision before taking action. The truth is, there is rarely a perfect moment. Waiting for certainty can keep you from the very opportunities that help you grow.
Together, we'll explore the beliefs that fuel perfectionism, learn to quiet your inner critic, and build the confidence to move forward before everything feels perfectly in place. Growth isn't found in getting everything right—it's found in having the courage to begin.

J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Perfectionism can leave you feeling stuck in a cycle of overthinking, self-doubt, and relentless pressure to meet impossible standards. You may struggle with fear of failure, difficulty relaxing, or feeling like your worth is tied to achievement. I help women identify the patterns that fuel perfectionism, build self-compassion, and develop healthier, more balanced ways of approaching life and relationships.

Max Marrone
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Perfectionism can feel like an exhausting inner battle. One part wants to let go while another pushes for certainty and "100%". Often times this can stem from past stressful situations and/or complex trauma. I use a combination of EMDR, DBT, ERP and attachment informed therapy to support people with identifying and working through the deeper issues driving perfectionism.
