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. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who hold themselves to very high standards and feel the cost of that internally. Perfectionism can look like overworking, difficulty stopping, constant self‑criticism, or a sense that nothing is ever quite enough. It can also look like procrastination, avoidance, or shutting down when something feels too overwhelming or too important to get wrong. Many people I see are highly responsible and often successful on the outside, but feel tense, depleted, or quietly anxious much of the time.
Perfectionism often develops as a way to stay safe, cope with unpredictability, or manage early experiences where being competent, careful, or invisible felt necessary. Over time, these strategies can become exhausting. You may notice that you rarely feel satisfied, that rest feels undeserved, or that you are harder on yourself than anyone else would ever be, even when you are doing your best.
In our work together, we make space for the part of you that strives and the part of you that is tired of striving. Rather than forcing you to “let go” of high standards, we get curious about what perfectionism has been protecting and what it is costing you now. We pay attention to how perfectionism shows up in your body, thoughts, and relationships, and look for ways of relating to yourself that are still responsible and thoughtful but less punishing, so you can experience more ease, satisfaction, and permission to be human in your work, relationships, and inner life. Working with perfectionism is a central part of my practice, and I have deep respect for how hard you’ve been working to hold everything together.

Perfectionism
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.

Perfectionism
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Perfectionism has its origins in such beliefs as someone feeling deep down, even without realizing it, that they are not good enough, and they need to be perfect to make up for it. Or, because their circumstances and life are imperfect, they want to create control where they can. They often feel unhappy and critical with themselves, and 'burnt out' from the effort involved in trying to achieve perfection, which could accurately be called 'a race with no finish line'. It can be formed from childhood experiences where they felt out of control, or unsafe, etc., which likely developed an unconscious belief while they were young. Rapid Transformational Therapy is very helpful to address the core reason for the need for perfection, then to interrupt it and release it, and replace it with empowering, positive suggestions directly to the subconscious mind, creating lasting change. The personalized recording would focus on ideas of self-acceptance and visualization of not needing perfectionism, etc.

Perfectionism
Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
Folks who struggle with perfectionism and intellectualization tend to represent a high-percentage of my practice. In my experience, people who struggle with perfectionism may have parts that deny they’re a perfectionist—I mean, everybody has to have a standard, right? I love helping folks deepen their understanding of these standards which seem "mission critical,” but may actually be inhibiting happiness and growth.
