Perfectionism
Juniper Mental Health
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism is not problematic for everyone, but for some, the drive to always do more and be better can have a negative impact on their daily stress, relationships, and take away from the life they want to be living. We have several providers on our team who have authored books and research on this very topic. Reach out to consult with our perfectionism specialists to discuss treatment.

Juniper Healing
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We support individuals who struggle with perfectionism, helping them understand the patterns and pressures that drive unrealistic standards and self-criticism. Our trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches focus on reducing anxiety, fostering self-compassion, and creating healthier, more flexible ways of approaching goals and expectations. Our goal is to help clients find balance, embrace progress over perfection, and develop a more sustainable and fulfilling way of living.

Perfectionism
Amanda Butler
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Perfectionism can create intense pressure to perform, achieve, or appear flawless. While it may be driven by high standards, it often leads to chronic stress, self-criticism, and fear of failure. In therapy, we explore the beliefs and experiences that fuel perfectionistic thinking. Clients learn to develop healthier expectations and a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Perfectionism
Dr. Jana Rundle
Psychologist, Psy.D., PMH-C
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to do everything “right,” leaving many women feeling anxious, self-critical, and exhausted from trying to meet impossible standards. This often shows up for high-achieving women who are used to performing at a high level, as well as for mothers who feel an intense pressure to be the “perfect” parent. You may find yourself overthinking decisions, feeling guilty when you fall short of your own expectations, or struggling to relax because it feels like there is always more you should be doing. In therapy, we explore the patterns and beliefs that drive perfectionism and work toward developing a more balanced and compassionate way of relating to yourself. My work focuses on helping high-achieving women and mothers loosen the grip of perfectionism, manage anxiety and self-criticism, and move through life with greater flexibility, confidence, and self-trust.

Perfectionism
Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Unhealed core wounds can instigate an anxiety-driven "perfection plan" for happiness that you hope will compensate for your deepest fears about yourself. Negative core wound identities sound like this: I am not good enough. I am not important. I am flawed. I am not worthy. I am not valued. I don’t deserve love. I am not acceptable the way I am. I am too different. I don’t belong. I am not worthy of love. I am a burden. I am weird. I am a loser. I am not wanted. I am inadequate. I am powerless. I am unlovable. I am alone.
Like all people, you have a unique longing in your heart for something higher and more fulfilling. This differs from perfect ego fantasies seeking to compensate for core wound pain. You might have a genuine soul longing for a beautiful love relationship or financial freedom, for example. You might ache to express who you truly are in the world, or perhaps you want to find your core strength and accomplish something magnificent. Your deeper joy is blocked by unhealed childhood core wound pain, and it can be healed.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
