Perfectionism
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.

Perfectionism
Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Unhealed core wounds can instigate an anxiety-driven "perfection plan" for happiness that you hope will compensate for your deepest fears about yourself. Negative core wound identities sound like this: I am not good enough. I am not important. I am flawed. I am not worthy. I am not valued. I don’t deserve love. I am not acceptable the way I am. I am too different. I don’t belong. I am not worthy of love. I am a burden. I am weird. I am a loser. I am not wanted. I am inadequate. I am powerless. I am unlovable. I am alone.
Like all people, you have a unique longing in your heart for something higher and more fulfilling. This differs from perfect ego fantasies seeking to compensate for core wound pain. You might have a genuine soul longing for a beautiful love relationship or financial freedom, for example. You might ache to express who you truly are in the world, or perhaps you want to find your core strength and accomplish something magnificent. Your deeper joy is blocked by unhealed childhood core wound pain, and it can be healed.

Perfectionism
Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
If you struggle with fear of failure, a sense that no matter what you do, it's not good enough, or a fear that if you relax, everything will fall apart, you may be a perfectionist! This can be such a big strength in terms of motivation and success, but can also take a huge toll. We can work together to identify what drives your perfectionism, and what your true values are that can guide you forward.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
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.
