Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with perfectionism, I help clients explore the pressures and beliefs that can create a constant sense of needing to do more or be better. While perfectionism may have once served as a way to cope or succeed, it often brings stress, self-criticism, and difficulty feeling satisfied. Together we gently uncover these patterns while building greater self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and a more balanced relationship with achievement and self-worth.

Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Big changes—starting high school or college, changing schools, moving, or figuring out what comes next—can bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. Even positive transitions can feel overwhelming. I help teens and young adults navigate these shifts with more clarity and confidence, building coping skills, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction so you can move forward feeling more grounded.

A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Perfectionism can make even your accomplishments feel like they’re never quite enough. You may set impossibly high expectations for yourself, overthink mistakes, compare yourself to others, procrastinate because you’re afraid of getting it wrong, or constantly move the finish line instead of allowing yourself to feel proud. I work with women who are exhausted from believing their worth depends on how well they perform, how much they accomplish, or how others perceive them. Together, we’ll explore what drives the pressure to be perfect and work toward replacing constant self-criticism with self-compassion, flexibility, and a stronger sense of worth that isn’t dependent on getting everything right.

Andrea Meier, LLC | Holistic Wellness Collective
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC, LAC
Perfectionism can look like ambition, responsibility and high achievement on the outside while creating anxiety, self-criticism, overthinking and exhaustion underneath. We help clients explore the deeper patterns driving perfectionism, build greater self-compassion and flexibility, and move from constantly striving or proving toward greater freedom, balance and choice.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who struggle with perfectionism, excessive self-criticism, fear of failure, or the feeling that they must constantly achieve, perform, or get things right in order to feel worthy. Together, we explore the deeper beliefs and protective patterns that can drive perfectionism, including the fear of judgment, rejection, failure, or not being “enough.” Through a trauma-informed, somatic, and compassionate approach, I help clients develop greater self-acceptance, flexibility, and safety within themselves while learning to separate their inherent worth from their accomplishments. Our work creates space to pursue growth and meaningful goals without living under the constant pressure to prove yourself.

Charleston is one of America's most historic and beautiful cities, a port town with deep antebellum roots and a complex racial history that came into stark focus with the 2015 massacre at Mother Emanuel AME Church, and the city's mental health landscape reflects both its appeal as a destination and the ongoing work of a community grappling with historical trauma and contemporary racial stress. The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), located in Charleston, operates one of the South's leading behavioral health training and service programs, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the city's growing professional and military populations. Joint Base Charleston brings a significant military community to the area, adding military and veteran mental health needs to an already complex and multifaceted therapy landscape. Common therapy concerns include trauma and community grief, racial identity and justice stress, military and veteran mental health, anxiety, and the strains of building a life in a city where the beauty of the physical environment can obscure deep historical wounds.
