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.

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 often masks a deep fear of not being enough. We work on separating your worth from your output, so you can pursue things you care about without the constant pressure to get it exactly right.

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.
