Perfectionism
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Perfectionism is often driven by fear, shame, and a belief that you are only worthy if you do things perfectly. Together we work on understanding the roots of perfectionism, reducing the anxiety around mistakes, and helping you build a life that is more flexible, creative, and humane.

Perfectionism
Carmen Ceballos
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
We provide therapy for perfectionism to support working women who feel stuck in cycles of self-pressure, overworking, and never feeling “good enough.” Perfectionism often shows up as fear of making mistakes, constant self-criticism, difficulty slowing down, and tying your worth to productivity or achievement. Using evidence-based approaches, we help you challenge rigid standards, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and develop a more balanced, sustainable way of approaching your goals. Together, we focus on building self-compassion, setting realistic expectations, and helping you move forward with confidence—without the constant pressure to be perfect.

Perfectionism
Taylor Lee
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP, Ed.M., M.A.
I specialize in working with clients struggling with perfectionism, especially those who feel driven by self-criticism, fear of mistakes, or pressure to meet high expectations. Many of my clients have spent years holding themselves to rigid standards or tying their worth to achievement. Together, we explore the roots of these patterns, soften harsh inner dialogue, and build a more compassionate, flexible way of relating to yourself.

We will help you move through the longstanding messages driving your perfectionism and high-achievement anxiety and burnout so that you can let your nervous system settle.

Perfectionism
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Perfectionism often masquerades as high standards, but underneath it’s usually a fear-driven strategy for avoiding shame or criticism. I help clients trace where that pattern was learned and separate genuine excellence from the exhausting, anxious version that never feels like enough.
