Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often develops as an understandable way of coping rather than simply setting high standards. Together, we'll explore the experiences that shaped these patterns, reduce harsh self-criticism, and help you build a healthier relationship with achievement, mistakes, and self-worth.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to perform, anticipate, and prevent mistakes, often leaving little room for rest or self-compassion. Many women find themselves trapped in cycles of striving that feel productive on the surface but exhausting underneath. In therapy, we work to understand how these patterns developed and build more flexible ways of responding to expectations so that your sense of worth is not tied to constant output.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
While striving for excellence can be a strength, maladaptive perfectionism often leads to chronic burnout, fear of failure, and debilitating procrastination. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help individuals challenge rigid "all-or-nothing" thinking and unrealistic self-imposed standards. Our clinical work focuses on decoupling your self-worth from your achievements, building distress tolerance around mistakes, and cultivating sustainable excellence without the mental exhaustion.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can fuel achievement, persistence, and attention to detail, and it is often rewarded in demanding academic and professional environments. Over time, however, unrelenting standards, fear of mistakes, overwork, self-criticism, or tying your worth to your performance can become exhausting and unsustainable. A setback, transition, increased responsibility, or period of burnout may eventually make it impossible to keep meeting the expectations you have set for yourself. When strategies that once helped you succeed stop working, it can feel as though your competence, identity, or life is beginning to unravel.
Working on perfectionism does not mean giving up ambition or settling for less. Therapy can help you understand what drives your perfectionism, distinguish meaningful striving from fear-based pressure, develop more flexible expectations, and respond to mistakes or limitations with greater perspective and self-compassion. The goal is to help you pursue excellence in ways that are healthier, more sustainable, and less dependent on relentless self-criticism.

Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Perfectionism often looks successful from the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. You may set incredibly high standards for yourself, struggle with mistakes, overthink decisions, or feel that what you accomplish is never quite enough. Therapy can help you loosen these patterns without giving up the ambition and values that are important to you.
