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.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to perform, achieve, or appear “good enough,” often leaving you exhausted, anxious, or self-critical. It’s usually rooted in early experiences, fear of failure, or unmet expectations. In therapy, we explore the beliefs driving perfectionistic patterns, develop healthier self-compassion, and create practical strategies for balance and emotional freedom. With Christ-centered guidance, you’ll learn to embrace progress over perfection, honor your worth, and live with greater peace and authenticity.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you silently struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Do you appear successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing emotional pain? I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.
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.

I help adults explore perfectionism, soften self-criticism, and ease the pressure to meet unrealistic expectations. Together, we build self-compassion, embrace flexibility, and develop a sense of worth that extends beyond achievement or others’ approval.

Dr. Ashley Geerts-Perry
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Anxiety-related perfectionism and the impact on self-worth is a large part of my practice. Challenging thoughts that prioritize others' expectations and sacrifice the self is common within perfectionistic tendencies. When approaching these behaviors, I support clients in uncovering the historical roots of the perfectionism, building awareness regarding the past and current impact of these behaviors on self and relationships, and developing new ways of thinking about experiences that challenges the need for control within perfectionistic anxiety.
