Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism looks like high standards from the outside and feels like never being enough on the inside. It fuels real achievement and... quiet exhaustion, procrastination, and dread of failing in front of others. I help high-achievers, athletes, and professionals keep the drive while loosening its grip: separating your worth from your performance, so you can pursue excellence without punishing yourself for being human.

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.

Dr. Felicia Jackson
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism can look like high standards on the outside but feel like constant pressure on the inside. You may struggle to make decisions, put off tasks until you feel ready, or find it difficult to feel satisfied with your accomplishments. Therapy can help you loosen rigid expectations, take action without needing everything to be perfect, and pursue your goals in ways that leave more room for flexibility, enjoyment, and self-compassion.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often looks like high standards, but it is usually driven by fear of failure, criticism, or not being enough. We can work on loosening the pressure without lowering what you value. The focus is on more flexible thinking, better self-compassion, and the ability to take action without needing everything to be flawless.

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
