Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
When “good enough” never feels good enough, perfectionism can turn everyday life into a constant pursuit of doing more, achieving more, and avoiding mistakes. What may look like high standards can sometimes come with anxiety, self-criticism, procrastination, burnout, or a persistent fear of falling short. Therapy provides a supportive, judgment-free space to understand where these patterns come from and how they may be affecting your life.
Outpatient therapy can help you challenge unrealistic expectations, quiet the inner critic, manage anxiety, build self-compassion, and develop a healthier relationship with achievement and mistakes. Together, we can work toward greater flexibility, confidence, and balance—so your sense of worth doesn’t depend on getting everything exactly right.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I generally view myself as a "recovering perfectionist" and would be happy to support you in your journey with this as well! I find that empathy and validation go a long way with this, as well as a focus on radical self-acceptance and self-compassion. We may work on direct coping skills, adjusting your internal self-dialogue, and developing mindful self-compassion skills in a more formalized way as needed. I strive for all of my clients to accept themselves as "perfectly imperfect humans," as we all are.

Kristina Anzell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CPSC
You are used to putting in extra work to get it right. When you don't do something right the first time, you beat yourself up and then spend time learning, researching and then don't stop trying until you get it perfect. The issue... babies do not work that way. They are all different, they are not predictable and they are not able to be controlled. You are spending too much time and energy on something that is "supposed to come naturally" and it feels awful! Get the support you need!

High standards can be useful until mistakes feel intolerable, accomplishments never feel sufficient, or self-worth becomes tied to performance. Therapy can help clients recognize rigid patterns, respond differently to uncertainty and imperfection, and pursue meaningful goals without being governed by constant self-criticism.

Salem is Oregon's state capital and has a large and established Spanish-speaking Latino population, particularly connected to the agricultural sector of the Willamette Valley, making bilingual Spanish and English therapy provision an important feature of the local mental health landscape. Oregon State Hospital, one of the state's primary psychiatric facilities, is based in Salem, and the city is a significant regional center for mental health services across the mid-Willamette Valley. Salem Health's behavioral health services contribute to a reasonably well-resourced local mental health infrastructure. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and the stresses of agricultural and service sector work, as well as the particular needs of a large immigrant and refugee population navigating life in a mid-sized state capital.
