Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
While aspects of perfectionism have often been helpful for folks to achieve and get to where they are in life, it also has a shadow side rooted in fear of failure, shame, and anxiety. Additionally, our society often reinforces perfectionism in ways that make it difficult from which to un-tangle. Our work will hold the ways it has been helpful while also challenging you to gain comfort with 'good enough' approaches to life.

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can create a persistent sense of pressure to meet unrealistic expectations, often accompanied by self-criticism, anxiety, shame, and a fear of failure or disappointing others. While striving for excellence can be meaningful, perfectionism can interfere with our ability to experience satisfaction, authenticity, and genuine connection with others. I help individuals explore the underlying beliefs, experiences, and relational patterns that contribute to perfectionistic tendencies. Together, we examine how self-worth may become tied to achievement, approval, or control while developing greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and acceptance of our human limitations. My goal is to help clients move beyond rigid expectations toward a more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling way of living that allows room for growth, vulnerability, and imperfection.

As the adage goes, striving for the best can be an enemy of the good and leave you stuck spinning in trying to be so perfect that you go nowhere. We will explore the roots of perfectionist thinking and see where you may be hanging onto unhelpful and unrealistic expectations of self and others. Challenging and forming new beliefs can help you develop realistic goals and move from stuck to soaring!

Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Perfectionism often looks like high standards from the outside while feeling like relentless pressure on the inside. It can show up as overthinking, procrastination, people-pleasing, fear of mistakes, difficulty resting, or the persistent sense that whatever you do is never quite enough. I help clients understand what drives these patterns, loosen the connection between performance and self-worth, and develop standards that support growth without requiring constant self-criticism. The goal isn’t to stop caring about doing things well—it’s to make “good enough” actually feel good enough.

I help adults who feel trapped by pressure, overthinking, self-criticism, and the constant sense that nothing they do is ever good enough. Therapy can help you loosen rigid standards, reduce shame, and build a healthier way of relating to yourself, your work, and your goals.
