Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism looks like high standards from the outside and feels like never being enough on the inside. It fuels real achievement and... quiet exhaustion, procrastination, and dread of failing in front of others. I help high-achievers, athletes, and professionals keep the drive while loosening its grip: separating your worth from your performance, so you can pursue excellence without punishing yourself for being human.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Perfectionism often begins as an attempt to stay safe, earn approval, or avoid disappointment, but over time it can become exhausting. Rather than fighting those perfectionistic parts of yourself, we'll become curious about what they're trying to protect and how they learned to take on that role. Together, we'll cultivate greater self-compassion and psychological flexibility so you can pursue excellence without being controlled by impossible standards. You can still have high aspirations while giving yourself permission to be fully human.

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.

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.

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.
