Sara Pavel
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to get things right, fear of failure, harsh self-criticism, and difficulty feeling satisfied with your accomplishments. Therapy can help you recognize unhelpful perfectionistic patterns, develop more flexible expectations, and build a healthier relationship with achievement, mistakes, and yourself.

Dr. Katy Crone
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Perfectionism may stem from and be reinforced from many sources including neurobiology, societal pressures, and messages of conditions of worthiness. Let us help you untangle your own flavor of perfectionism with insight and tangible skills for reducing rigidity and increasing self assuredness.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Perfectionism is rarely about a desire for excellence; usually, it is an exhausting shield used to protect yourself from judgment, failure, or feeling 'never good enough.' I specialize in working with high-achieving adults, 'fixers,' and peacekeepers who use perfectionism and over-functioning to stay safe, only to find themselves drowning in chronic worry and burnout. Together, we look beneath the behavior to heal the root anxieties and past traumas driving the need to be flawless. We will work to silence your harsh inner critic, dismantle the fear of letting others down, and help you trade the crushing weight of perfection for genuine self-compassion and peace

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
You may be accomplished, dependable, and highly capable, yet rarely feel satisfied with what you do. Mistakes can feel disproportionately threatening, rest can bring guilt, and even meaningful achievements may provide only brief relief before the next internal imperative takes over. I work with high achievers who are tired of being driven by self-criticism, fear of failure, or the feeling that they must continually prove their worth. Rather than simply trying to counteract perfectionist urges, we explore what perfectionism has come to mean and what it helps you avoid or protect against. The goal is to preserve your ambition while loosening the grip of the inner critic, so that your effort becomes a value-driven choice rather than a condition you use to determine your worth.
