I work with people whose perfectionism contributes to anxiety, stress, procrastination, self-criticism or feeling never good enough. Therapy focuses on developing healthier standards, greater self-compassion and a more balanced approach to achievement.

Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Perfectionism is not really about high standards — it is about what you believe will happen if you fall short. The clients I see with perfectionism are usually accomplished and exhausted, unable to enjoy what they have done because attention moves straight to the next thing, and privately convinced the whole structure depends on their vigilance. Rather than trying to talk you out of your standards, I am interested in where they came from, whose approval they were originally for, and what they have protected you from feeling. Self-acceptance does more for functioning than self-criticism ever has, but it cannot be adopted on command — it develops through being understood.

Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Perfectionism is anxiety in disguise. It appears to be on your side, encouraging you to strive to be better. However, it is an unrelenting critic that tells you that you or other people/things are not good enough...ever. It can help you in the beginning to strive for excellence and over-achieve, to be recognized for your accomplishments and capabilities. But your perfectionism does not allow you to truly feel or celebrate all of your effort. Over time, it can look like exhaustion, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, depression, anxiety, procrastination, and feeling like you don't know how to stop from unraveling or being discovered as a fraud. It's a self-imposed prison that feels suffocating to be but even more terrifying to get out of.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings and tendencies such as perfectionism, anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them.

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.
