Sarah Rollins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Perfectionism often looks like high achievement on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or never “good enough” on the inside. You may constantly overthink, fear mistakes, or place unrealistic pressure on yourself. Therapy can help you untangle your self-worth from performance and develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Hampton Psychological Services
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Our clinicians provide evidence‑based treatment for perfectionism, helping clients break free from the rigid standards, self‑criticism, and burnout that often accompany it. We focus on understanding the patterns that drive overthinking, avoidance, and pressure to perform, while teaching practical skills to create more balance and flexibility. Treatment includes strategies for managing anxiety, challenging unhelpful beliefs, improving emotional regulation, and building healthier expectations of oneself. Our goal is to help clients reduce the stress and limitations of perfectionism so they can function more confidently and sustainably in their daily lives.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who hold themselves to very high standards and feel the cost of that internally. Perfectionism can look like overworking, difficulty stopping, constant self‑criticism, or a sense that nothing is ever quite enough. It can also look like procrastination, avoidance, or shutting down when something feels too overwhelming or too important to get wrong. Many people I see are highly responsible and often successful on the outside, but feel tense, depleted, or quietly anxious much of the time.
Perfectionism often develops as a way to stay safe, cope with unpredictability, or manage early experiences where being competent, careful, or invisible felt necessary. Over time, these strategies can become exhausting. You may notice that you rarely feel satisfied, that rest feels undeserved, or that you are harder on yourself than anyone else would ever be, even when you are doing your best.
In our work together, we make space for the part of you that strives and the part of you that is tired of striving. Rather than forcing you to “let go” of high standards, we get curious about what perfectionism has been protecting and what it is costing you now. We pay attention to how perfectionism shows up in your body, thoughts, and relationships, and look for ways of relating to yourself that are still responsible and thoughtful but less punishing, so you can experience more ease, satisfaction, and permission to be human in your work, relationships, and inner life. Working with perfectionism is a central part of my practice, and I have deep respect for how hard you’ve been working to hold everything together.
