Perfectionism
Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
While aspects of perfectionism have often been helpful for folks to achieve and get to where they are in life, it also has a shadow side rooted in fear of failure, shame, and anxiety. Additionally, our society often reinforces perfectionism in ways that make it difficult from which to un-tangle. Our work will hold the ways it has been helpful while also challenging you to gain comfort with 'good enough' approaches to life.

Perfectionism
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
Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism is often praised by the world, but from the inside, it can feel like living with an unrelenting driver that never lets you rest. It keeps you caught in cycles of overworking, fear of failure, procrastination, and a quiet sense that nothing you do is ever quite enough. In our work together, we view perfectionism not as a character flaw, but as a protective armor you built to stay safe or earn approval. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we will work to quiet your harsh inner critic, untangle your self-worth from your productivity, and build a sustainable relationship with success where you can strive for excellence without sacrificing your peace.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
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.
