Perfectionism
Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Perfectionism often looks like high standards from the outside while feeling like relentless pressure on the inside. It can show up as overthinking, procrastination, people-pleasing, fear of mistakes, difficulty resting, or the persistent sense that whatever you do is never quite enough. I help clients understand what drives these patterns, loosen the connection between performance and self-worth, and develop standards that support growth without requiring constant self-criticism. The goal isn’t to stop caring about doing things well—it’s to make “good enough” actually feel good enough.

Perfectionism
Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Perfectionism often looks successful from the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. You may set incredibly high standards for yourself, struggle with mistakes, overthink decisions, or feel that what you accomplish is never quite enough. Therapy can help you loosen these patterns without giving up the ambition and values that are important to you.

Perfectionism
Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Perfectionism is anxiety in disguise. It appears to be on your side, encouraging you to strive to be better. However, it is an unrelenting critic that tells you that you or other people/things are not good enough...ever. It can help you in the beginning to strive for excellence and over-achieve, to be recognized for your accomplishments and capabilities. But your perfectionism does not allow you to truly feel or celebrate all of your effort. Over time, it can look like exhaustion, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, depression, anxiety, procrastination, and feeling like you don't know how to stop from unraveling or being discovered as a fraud. It's a self-imposed prison that feels suffocating to be but even more terrifying to get out of.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings and tendencies such as perfectionism, anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them.

Perfectionism
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Perfectionism can be exhausting. The pressure to do everything exactly right, meet impossibly high standards, or avoid making mistakes can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or never quite good enough. In therapy, I help clients understand the beliefs and fears that drive perfectionism, while developing a more flexible and compassionate relationship with themselves. Together, we work on challenging all-or-nothing thinking, reducing self-criticism, and learning to tolerate uncertainty and mistakes without feeling that everything is at risk. Treatment may also include practical strategies for managing procrastination, overthinking, and the difficulty of feeling satisfied with accomplishments. The goal is not to give up your ambition or high standards, but to help you pursue what matters to you without being controlled by the need to be perfect.
