Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Perfectionism often begins as an attempt to stay safe, earn approval, or avoid disappointment, but over time it can become exhausting. Rather than fighting those perfectionistic parts of yourself, we'll become curious about what they're trying to protect and how they learned to take on that role. Together, we'll cultivate greater self-compassion and psychological flexibility so you can pursue excellence without being controlled by impossible standards. You can still have high aspirations while giving yourself permission to be fully human.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Perfectionism can look like high standards and achievement on the outside, but internally it often feels like constant pressure, self-criticism, and fear of making mistakes. You may struggle to feel satisfied with your accomplishments or find that your self-worth rises and falls with performance. In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you challenge rigid thinking patterns, reduce harsh self-talk, and develop a more flexible, values-driven definition of success. Our work focuses on maintaining excellence without sacrificing your well-being, relationships, or sense of self.

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.
