Perfectionism
Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
Many of my clients have extremely high standards for themselves and base their self-worth on their ability to meet those standards. Usually perfectionism works to a certain point in their life - until it doesn't. On the inside, it can feel like nothing is ever quite good enough, rest feels unearned, and perfectionists can feel like they're one mistake away from a total meltdown. I help high-achievers loosen perfectionism's grip without losing their edge. I help performers work to be ambitious and at peace with themselves. To strive in a healthy way, and still feel like enough.

Perfectionism
Heinig Health and Wellness Counseling
Psychologist, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, M.S. Health Psychology, M.A. Clinical Psychology, PSYPACT Providers
We provide psychotherapy for individuals struggling with perfectionism, helping clients understand how high self-imposed standards, fear of failure, and self-criticism can impact emotional well-being and daily functioning. Our approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, reducing all-or-nothing thinking, and developing more balanced and compassionate self-evaluations. Through evidence-based strategies, clients learn to tolerate mistakes, set realistic goals, and build flexibility in their expectations. Treatment supports greater self-acceptance, reduced anxiety and burnout, and a healthier, more sustainable approach to achievement and personal growth.

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
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
Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
Perfectionism often develops as a way to seek approval, avoid criticism, or maintain a sense of control. While it can drive achievement, it can also lead to burnout, anxiety, shame, and difficulty feeling satisfied. For many individuals, cultural and familial expectations play a significant role in perfectionistic patterns. Therapy can help you challenge unrealistic standards, embrace self-compassion, and cultivate a healthier relationship with success and self-worth.
