Perfectionism
Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I work with individuals who feel stuck in the pressure of always needing to do more, be better, or get everything “right.” Perfectionism can be exhausting—it often comes with overthinking, self-criticism, people-pleasing, fear of disappointing others, and feeling like you can never fully relax or slow down. Many people look like they’re holding it all together on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed inside. In therapy, I create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can let your guard down and stop carrying so much pressure alone. Together, we work on building self-compassion, healthier boundaries, and a more balanced way of living that feels less overwhelming and more sustainable.

Perfectionism
Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I've found that these early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships. Many have deep, toxic shame, about their authentic selves which often results in a high degree of perfectionism to avoid feeling that shame. In session, we can work through the multifaceted parts that drive perfectionism, and give that part of yourself permission to take on a new, more adaptive role.

Perfectionism
Blair Pallas
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism often feels like a shield, but it’s actually a weight that leaves you feeling "less than." When the fear of mistakes becomes paralyzing, my approach helps you identify the "all-or-nothing" stories keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll practice "imperfection" at a manageable pace, shifting the focus from impossible standards to your actual values. By learning to tolerate the discomfort of being human, you’ll gain the freedom to take risks and finally show up as your authentic self.

Perfectionism
Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Perfectionism isn't "having high standards" or caring about quality—it's a maladaptive defense mechanism that mistakes flawlessness for safety. It uses impossible expectations as a shield to protect you against judgment, criticism, and the discomfort of failure.
