Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards — it's almost always about fear. Fear of failure, rejection, not being enough. At Restored, we help clients trace perfectionism back to its roots, addressing the subconscious beliefs that drive it and the toll it takes on mental health, relationships, and quality of life. The goal isn't lowering your standards — it's freeing you from the relentless pressure that's been quietly running your life.

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.

Allison Gildner
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPCC, PMH-C
As a "recovering perfectionist" myself, I know that perfectionism can be both a gift and a curse. You may not perceive yourself as a perfectionist, yet you know that you often feel like you're never good enough, or you're constantly striving for a goal that feels out of reach. I understand the perfectionist mindset and I'll help you recognize the patterns that are holding you back, so you can truly embrace this part of yourself.

Embodied Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPCC, CIEC, CCTP
Perfectionism shows up all the time for many of us. We have been trained for it almost our entire lives. Perfectionism is shame's cruise control. It's not going to be helpful on snow, ice, rain or traffic. I like to help clients unpack perfectionism to reduce anxiety, stress, and increase sustainable practices that help you get where your going, no matter what life throws at you.

Omni Mental Health, Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, LICSW, DBT IOP
At Omni Mental Health, we recognize that perfectionism can be both exhausting and isolating. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often creates overwhelming pressure, self-criticism, fear of failure, procrastination, anxiety, and difficulty feeling satisfied with accomplishments. Our therapists help clients explore the underlying beliefs and experiences that contribute to perfectionistic patterns while developing healthier ways to approach goals, expectations, and self-worth. Through a supportive and nonjudgmental process, we help individuals build self-compassion, increase flexibility, manage stress, and find greater balance so they can pursue success without sacrificing their well-being.
