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.

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.

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.

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.

Worcester is one of New England's most diverse cities and home to a cluster of colleges and universities — including Clark University, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and UMass Chan Medical School — that together generate significant student mental health demand and a well-developed clinical training ecosystem. The city's large Latino, Vietnamese, and African American populations create consistent demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists, and Worcester has been an important destination for refugee resettlement from Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America. UMass Memorial Medical Center provides major institutional mental health resources, while the city's university ecosystem supplies important clinical training. Worcester's working-class character and lower cost of living relative to Boston make private therapy more financially accessible, though therapist density remains lower than in the Boston metro.
