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.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Perfectionism in high-achievement culture is often mistaken for a strength — and for a while, it is. But for the men I work with, perfectionism has become a relentless internal critic that raises the standard the moment the last one is met, makes rest feel dangerous, and turns every imperfection into evidence of inadequacy. Through Character Driven Therapy, I help high-performing men understand where their perfectionism originated, what it's been protecting them from, and how to pursue excellence without being tyrannized by it — because the goal is not to lower your standards, it's to stop letting your standards determine your worth.

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism often looks like ambition, conscientiousness, or high standards, but underneath it feels like a persistent fear of making mistakes, disappointing others, or never being good enough. You may find it difficult to celebrate accomplishments, set boundaries, or feel satisfied even when you’re doing exceptionally well. It can be extremely isolating when everyone around you thinks you're doing just fine. Together, we’ll explore what drives your perfectionism and work on loosening the grip of self-criticism, so you can continue pursuing meaningful goals without feeling that your worth depends on getting everything right.

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.
