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.

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.

Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism is not problematic for everyone, but for some, the drive to always do more and be better can have a negative impact on their daily stress, relationships, and take away from the life they want to be living. We have several providers on our team who have authored books and research on this very topic. Reach out to consult with our perfectionism specialists to discuss treatment.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Always feeling like you have to get things “just right” can be exhausting. You might look like you have it together on the outside, but inside there’s pressure, self-doubt, or fear of getting it wrong. For many people, this started earlier in life, where getting it right felt necessary. We explore where that pressure comes from and help you find a different way of relating to yourself.

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.
