Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
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.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you silently struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Do you appear successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing emotional pain? I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.
Like all people, you have a unique longing in your heart for something higher and more fulfilling. This differs from perfect ego fantasies seeking to compensate for core wound pain. You might have a genuine soul longing for a beautiful love relationship or financial freedom, for example. You might ache to express who you truly are in the world, or perhaps you want to find your core strength and accomplish something magnificent. Your deeper joy is blocked by unhealed childhood core wound pain, and it can be healed.

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.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Perfectionism is not really about high standards. It is about safety. Somewhere along the way, the subconscious decided that being good enough, being beyond criticism or being in complete control was the way to be safe and accepted. That decision then becomes a daily tax: overworking, second-guessing, never quite arriving. RTT goes back to the moment that decision was made and updates the meaning underneath it. The standards can stay. What changes is the price you pay to meet them. Most of my perfectionist clients are women in leadership, founders or creatives. The work is online via Zoom and confidential.
