Perfectionism
Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
Working with perfectionism isn’t about lowering the bar—it’s about changing your relationship with it.
We start by identifying the fear underneath it (usually failure, judgment, or not being enough). Then we look at the patterns it creates—overthinking, procrastination, avoidance—and how they’re actually keeping you stuck.

Perfectionism
Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Perfectionism often looks like high standards on the surface, but underneath can be a fear of failure, criticism, or not being enough. I help you understand the roots of these patterns while gradually loosening their grip. Together, we will work toward a more flexible, self-compassionate way of relating to yourself and your goals. This way you can still be productive but also feel more at peace.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
Perfectionism often develops as a way to seek approval, avoid criticism, or maintain a sense of control. While it can drive achievement, it can also lead to burnout, anxiety, shame, and difficulty feeling satisfied. For many individuals, cultural and familial expectations play a significant role in perfectionistic patterns. Therapy can help you challenge unrealistic standards, embrace self-compassion, and cultivate a healthier relationship with success and self-worth.

Perfectionism
Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Perfectionism is sneaky; on one hand, it might feel productive to try to find the "best" or "fastest" way to complete certain tasks. On the other hand, perfectionism can create unrealistic or impossible standards for ourselves and those around us. It can feed into anxiety, low-self esteem, procrastination, negative self-talk, or relationship issues. I work with perfectionists as they take a look at the ways these perfectionistic beliefs are no longer serving them, and help them move forward feeling okay with "good enough."
