Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Perfectionism is not really about high standards — it is about what you believe will happen if you fall short. The clients I see with perfectionism are usually accomplished and exhausted, unable to enjoy what they have done because attention moves straight to the next thing, and privately convinced the whole structure depends on their vigilance. Rather than trying to talk you out of your standards, I am interested in where they came from, whose approval they were originally for, and what they have protected you from feeling. Self-acceptance does more for functioning than self-criticism ever has, but it cannot be adopted on command — it develops through being understood.

Psychologist, PhD
Individuals who struggle with perfectionism typically experience anxiety. I help my clients not only learn what drives their perfectionism, but I help them learn how to free themselves from the beliefs that drive their perfectionism utilizing CBT and when appropriate, EMDR.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you feel like nothing you do is ever quite good enough? Maybe you set impossibly high standards for yourself, overthink decisions, struggle to make mistakes, or feel guilty when you rest. Perfectionism can look like being driven and successful on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly disappointed in yourself on the inside. Over time, the pressure to get everything right can make it difficult to enjoy your accomplishments or feel confident in who you are.
My approach focuses on helping you understand the beliefs and fears driving perfectionism while learning to approach yourself with greater flexibility and compassion. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-compassion strategies, we'll work on challenging all-or-nothing thinking, recognizing your inner critic, setting realistic expectations, and practicing healthier responses to mistakes. We may also use behavioral experiments to help you tolerate imperfection, reduce avoidance and overchecking, and learn that your worth isn't determined by your productivity or performance.
You don't have to lower your standards or stop caring about doing well to find balance. The goal is to help you pursue what matters to you without letting the fear of failure control your life. You can strive for growth while still giving yourself permission to be human.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Perfectionism can look like high standards and achievement on the outside, but internally it often feels like constant pressure, self-criticism, and fear of making mistakes. You may struggle to feel satisfied with your accomplishments or find that your self-worth rises and falls with performance. In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you challenge rigid thinking patterns, reduce harsh self-talk, and develop a more flexible, values-driven definition of success. Our work focuses on maintaining excellence without sacrificing your well-being, relationships, or sense of self.
