Perfectionism
Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
Folks who struggle with perfectionism and intellectualization tend to represent a high-percentage of my practice. In my experience, people who struggle with perfectionism may have parts that deny they’re a perfectionist—I mean, everybody has to have a standard, right? I love helping folks deepen their understanding of these standards which seem "mission critical,” but may actually be inhibiting happiness and growth.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Bob Mullen
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed., Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor
I 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 with less fear.

Perfectionism
Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Perfectionism can look like ambition, high standards, or simply wanting to do things well. But underneath the drive to get everything right can be a persistent fear of failure, criticism, disappointment, or not being enough.
You may find yourself overthinking decisions, setting unrealistic expectations, being highly self-critical, or feeling that no matter what you accomplish, it is never quite enough. You may have learned to measure your worth by your productivity, success, appearance, relationships, or ability to meet the expectations of others.
I work with individuals who struggle with perfectionism to understand where these patterns come from and how they may be affecting the way they experience themselves and their lives. Together, we explore the core beliefs and internal expectations that fuel the need to be perfect and examine how those beliefs influence your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices.
Using cognitive behavioral, emotion-focused, mindfulness-based, and strength-based approaches, I help you develop a more compassionate and realistic relationship with yourself. We work on challenging all-or-nothing thinking, tolerating uncertainty and mistakes, and separating your sense of self-worth from your accomplishments.
The goal is not to make you care less or give up the qualities that have helped you succeed. Rather, it is to help you pursue what matters to you without being driven by fear, self-criticism, or the belief that you must be perfect to be worthy.
You don't have to choose between striving for meaningful goals and being at peace with yourself. Therapy can help you create a healthier balance—one where you can achieve, grow, and succeed while also allowing yourself to be human.
