Michelle Borunda
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism often looks like high standards from the outside, but from the inside it can feel like nothing is ever quite enough. I work with clients to understand where that pressure came from and to build a healthier relationship with rest, mistakes, and their own worth, one that doesn't depend on constant achievement.

Bob Mullen
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed., Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor
I work to help people move from needing to be perfect to embracing excellence. This lessens feelings of regret over "errors" and allows the client to find better motivation to attempt tasks, not avoiding perceived failure.

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Perfectionism often hides behind achievement. For highly functioning, educated, or professionally successful people, the pressure to perform, get things right, and meet exceptionally high standards can become exhausting. You may appear capable and confident while privately struggling with self-criticism, fear of failure, overthinking, or feeling that your accomplishments are never quite enough. In therapy, I help clients understand the beliefs driving perfectionism, develop more flexible expectations, and separate their sense of worth from constant performance. The goal is to keep the strengths that have helped you succeed while creating more room for confidence, balance, and a life that does not depend on always getting everything right.

Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
I work with individuals struggling with perfectionism, including rigid standards, fear of failure, procrastination, and chronic self-criticism. My approach helps clients understand the underlying drivers of perfectionism while building practical tools to increase flexibility, follow-through, and self-compassion. I support clients in challenging all-or-nothing thinking, reducing avoidance, and taking more consistent, values-driven action. Together, we focus on developing a more balanced internal standard, improving resilience, and creating a healthier, more sustainable way of engaging with work, relationships, and personal goals.

Perfectionism comes because of various reasons and I hope to support your needs by finding what can be done to challenge that perfectionism not to be lose your functionality but to gain the ability to succeed but not be stuck in a stage that you lack movement in your life.

Samia Geraghty
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
As a recovering perfectionist I understand first hand how difficult it can be to change the internal messages of shame and inadequacy. When you struggle with perfectionism, your self-worth is entirely tied to your achievements, leaving you trapped in an exhausting cycle of setting impossible standards, working to the point of burnout, and harshly criticizing yourself for the slightest mistake. This can manifest as chronic procrastination out of a fear of failing, decision paralysis, or an inability to celebrate your wins because you are already stressing over the next goal. In a world that rewards constant hustle, perfectionism can feel like a necessary survival tool, but it ultimately robs you of your peace, creativity, and true self-worth. Therapy offers a compassionate, judgment-free space to safely put down the heavy burden of having to be flawless. Together, we will work to quiet your harsh inner critic and learn to embrace your humanity and build genuine self-compassion.

Melena Ayres
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, LCDC
Perfectionism can look like high standards on the outside—but on the inside, it often feels like pressure, fear of failure, and never feeling “good enough.” It can keep us stuck, burned out, or constantly second-guessing ourselves. I help clients move away from rigid expectations and toward self-compassion, flexibility, and a healthier, more sustainable way of showing up in their lives. We oftentimes notice a remarkable improvement in our relationship with ourselves and with others as we heal our perfectionism.

Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth at the heart of the DFW Metroplex and serves a large suburban residential population navigating the particular stresses of fast-growing communities — long commutes, family pressure, and the challenges of raising children in a rapidly changing environment. The city has a large Hispanic and growing South Asian population, with increasing demand for culturally affirming and bilingual therapists. The University of Texas at Arlington provides a significant student population, and the city is served by Medical City Arlington and Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital for institutional mental health needs. Many Arlington residents also access therapy across the wider DFW metro, making the city part of a larger regional therapy ecosystem centered on Dallas and Fort Worth.
