Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Unhealed core wounds can instigate an anxiety-driven "perfection plan" for happiness that you hope will compensate for your deepest fears about yourself. Negative core wound identities sound like this: I am not good enough. I am not important. I am flawed. I am not worthy. I am not valued. I don’t deserve love. I am not acceptable the way I am. I am too different. I don’t belong. I am not worthy of love. I am a burden. I am weird. I am a loser. I am not wanted. I am inadequate. I am powerless. I am unlovable. I am alone.
Like all people, you have a unique longing in your heart for something higher and more fulfilling. This differs from perfect ego fantasies seeking to compensate for core wound pain. You might have a genuine soul longing for a beautiful love relationship or financial freedom, for example. You might ache to express who you truly are in the world, or perhaps you want to find your core strength and accomplish something magnificent. Your deeper joy is blocked by unhealed childhood core wound pain, and it can be healed.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often looks like high standards, but it is usually driven by fear of failure, criticism, or not being enough. We can work on loosening the pressure without lowering what you value. The focus is on more flexible thinking, better self-compassion, and the ability to take action without needing everything to be flawless.

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.

Loren Soeiro
Psychologist, Ph.D. ABPP
Perfectionism often appears as dedication to high achievement, yet privately it involves constant self-criticism and the fear of making mistakes. Rather than asking you to lower your standards, I would work to explore the origins of those expectations and the ways in which they function, in your life. The aim is to pursue excellence with flexibility—to maintain your ambitions while strengthening self-respect, balance, and sustainable motivation.

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.
