Perfectionism
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
What begins as a drive to do well can gradually become an unforgiving way of measuring one's worth. Therapy offers a place to understand where those demands came from and why mistakes, disappointment, or falling short can feel so, so threatening. As that pressure becomes more understandable, perfection no longer has to do so much psychological work, and you can create more room to be ambitious without being governed by self-criticism.

Perfectionism
Yourdeline Sertyl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Perfectionism often hides beneath achievement. It can drive success while quietly fueling anxiety, self-criticism, and burnout. I help high-achieving adults unpack the roots of perfectionism, shift rigid thought patterns, and develop healthier standards that allow for growth without constant pressure.

Perfectionism
Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Perfectionism in high-achievement culture is often mistaken for a strength — and for a while, it is. But for the men I work with, perfectionism has become a relentless internal critic that raises the standard the moment the last one is met, makes rest feel dangerous, and turns every imperfection into evidence of inadequacy. Through Character Driven Therapy, I help high-performing men understand where their perfectionism originated, what it's been protecting them from, and how to pursue excellence without being tyrannized by it — because the goal is not to lower your standards, it's to stop letting your standards determine your worth.

Perfectionism
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I used to joke that I'm a "recovering perfectionist," but trying to recover from it might just be another way of holding ourselves to someone else's standard (of not being "uptight" or "too good" or something). I think the real key is to figure out what our internal compass really wants to point us to. If we were born to pay attention and excel, let's do that in a way that helps us and others thrive, with less shame and stress when we mess up. I'm an Enneagram 1 (I lead with a personality type that can be called "perfectionist" or "idealist"). Maybe you are an Enneagram 1, or a 2 (a people pleaser), or 3 (an achiever). Or maybe you weren't born this way, but your parents pressured you into perfectionism. However perfectionism intersects with your personality, let's find a way to honor its gifts while asking it to rest a bit so other parts of you can also shine.
