Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Claudia Blackwell talks about how perfectionism is born out of shame. It's a quote that has stuck with me for years. Perfectionism causes us to feel like we are never good enough, directly attacking our self-worth. Supportive therapy can help us identify the attacks of perfectionism, learn the language of our inner critic, and forge a path forward with self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Perfectionism
Michele Robison, PhD
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.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards alone. For many people it’s a strategy to prevent criticism, mistakes, or rejection. You may spend a lot of mental energy preparing, rechecking, and evaluating yourself, and still feel uneasy afterward. Even accomplishments often bring relief rather than satisfaction.
Therapy focuses on understanding what your mind is trying to protect you from. Instead of forcing yourself to “care less,” we work with the parts of you that feel responsible for preventing problems and gradually help your system tolerate being human without constant self-monitoring. As the underlying fear settles, effort and performance often become more sustainable and less exhausting.
