Perfectionism

Kaijah Bjorklund

Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Perfectionism isn't about caring too much about quality — it's usually about fear. Fear of failure, of judgment, of being exposed as not enough. It often began as a smart survival strategy in an environment where mistakes felt dangerous. But somewhere along the way, the inner critic that helped you stay safe started running the show, and now nothing you do ever quite feels like enough. I work with perfectionism through IFS — getting to know the parts that drive it with curiosity and compassion, rather than just trying to think your way out of patterns that live much deeper than thought.

Perfectionism

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.

Perfectionism

Lesley Lacny

Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside while feeling like pressure, self-criticism, and never quite feeling enough on the inside. It often leads to anxiety, burnout, procrastination, and difficulty enjoying success or feeling satisfied. I can help you explore the deeper patterns underneath perfectionism, such as fear of failure, approval-seeking, and harsh inner standards, while also understanding how these show up in your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system. Together, we work to soften rigid patterns, build self-compassion, and develop more flexible, sustainable ways of relating to yourself and your goals, so you can feel more grounded, present, and at ease in your life.

Perfectionism

Dr. Michael Marossy

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often involves far more than simply having high standards. Many individuals struggling with perfectionism experience chronic self-criticism, fear of failure, anxiety, procrastination, emotional burnout, shame, difficulty relaxing, or a persistent feeling that they are never “good enough” regardless of achievement or external success. I help clients better understand the emotional and relational roots of perfectionistic patterns while developing greater self-compassion, psychological flexibility, and a healthier relationship with achievement, performance, and self-worth. Therapy focuses on reducing rigid thinking and chronic pressure while helping clients build more balanced, meaningful, and emotionally sustainable ways of living.

Perfectionism

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!
