Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Perfectionism often begins as an attempt to stay safe, earn approval, or avoid disappointment, but over time it can become exhausting. Rather than fighting those perfectionistic parts of yourself, we'll become curious about what they're trying to protect and how they learned to take on that role. Together, we'll cultivate greater self-compassion and psychological flexibility so you can pursue excellence without being controlled by impossible standards. You can still have high aspirations while giving yourself permission to be fully human.

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.

Jonathan Hock -- Men's Work
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism in men often reflects a deeper struggle with control, expectation, and the desire to prove worth. It can drive relentless effort while quietly limiting fulfillment, connection, and authenticity. I work with men to explore the fears and beliefs that fuel perfectionism and how it shapes daily life and choices. The goal is not to eliminate striving, but to bring awareness and intention to it so effort aligns with purpose rather than anxiety, allowing men to engage with life more fully and freely.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often develops as an understandable way of coping rather than simply setting high standards. Together, we'll explore the experiences that shaped these patterns, reduce harsh self-criticism, and help you build a healthier relationship with achievement, mistakes, and self-worth.

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.
24 Years Experience
Online in Odessa, TX
Odessa is the working-class counterpart to neighboring Midland in the Permian Basin oil economy, sharing the same boom-and-bust economic cycles but with a more industrial character, and the city's mental health landscape is dominated by the psychological impacts of energy market volatility on employment, income, and community stability. The city has faced significant challenges with crime, substance use, and social service strain during both boom and bust periods, and mental health infrastructure is limited relative to population need. Medical Center Health System provides behavioral health services, and community mental health resources supplement a limited private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include economic anxiety and instability, substance use and recovery, family and relationship stress, trauma, and the isolation of a remote West Texas community whose fortunes are inextricably bound to the price of oil.
