Cincinnati, Ohio therapist: Pamela Angel, counselor/therapist
Perfectionism

Pamela Angel

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in treating perfectionism because I’ve witnessed how this "hidden" struggle binds, shackles, and exhausts even the highest achievers. While often mistaken for a strength, unhealthy perfectionism drives relentless self-criticism, anxiety, burnout, and imposter syndrome, turning the pursuit of excellence into a form of self-punishment. I am passionate about helping clients break free from the "all-or-nothing" cycle and reclaim their time, energy, and joy. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and self-compassion, I help you shift from harsh judgment to self-kindness, allowing you to move from “never enough” to a sustainable, authentic life where mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth rather than fatal failures.

Yorba Linda, California therapist: New Beginnings Christian Counseling, marriage and family therapist
Perfectionism

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.

Washington, Washington, D.C. therapist: Kelsey Ellis, psychologist
Perfectionism

Kelsey Ellis

Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to perform, anticipate, and prevent mistakes, often leaving little room for rest or self-compassion. Many women find themselves trapped in cycles of striving that feel productive on the surface but exhausting underneath. In therapy, we work to understand how these patterns developed and build more flexible ways of responding to expectations so that your sense of worth is not tied to constant output.

Minneapolis, Minnesota therapist: Dr. Meghan Miller, psychologist
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.
