Perfectionism
Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you silently struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Do you appear successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing emotional pain? I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.
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.

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.

Perfectionism
Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you struggle with perfectionism, you may feel constant pressure to get everything “just right”—often setting high standards that are difficult to meet. You might overthink decisions, procrastinate out of fear of making mistakes, or feel dissatisfied even when you’ve done well. What looks like high achievement on the outside can come with internal stress, self-criticism, and the sense that it’s never quite enough.
I help clients understand and change the patterns that drive perfectionism so it no longer controls your thinking or behavior. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and shift the rigid thought patterns and unrealistic standards that create pressure and self-doubt. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to reduce fear of mistakes and reshape the internal dialogue that keeps you stuck. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you take action more freely, tolerate imperfection, and stay focused on what truly matters rather than getting caught in overcontrol.
What’s often missing isn’t motivation—you likely care deeply about doing things well. What’s missing is flexibility in how you approach goals and a way to interrupt the internal pressure that leads to avoidance, burnout, or chronic dissatisfaction. Without that shift, perfectionism can limit progress rather than enhance it.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for a different approach. If you’re willing to step out of the cycle of pressure and self-criticism, I can help you maintain high standards while also feeling more confident, productive, and at ease with yourself and your work.

Perfectionism
Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Perfectionism can look like high standards and achievement on the outside, but internally it often feels like constant pressure, self-criticism, and fear of making mistakes. You may struggle to feel satisfied with your accomplishments or find that your self-worth rises and falls with performance. In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you challenge rigid thinking patterns, reduce harsh self-talk, and develop a more flexible, values-driven definition of success. Our work focuses on maintaining excellence without sacrificing your well-being, relationships, or sense of self.

Perfectionism
Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Claudia Blackwell talks about how perfectionism is born out of shame. It's a quote that has stuck with me for years. Perfectionism causes us to feel like we are never good enough, directly attacking our self-worth. Supportive therapy can help us identify the attacks of perfectionism, learn the language of our inner critic, and forge a path forward with self-compassion and self-acceptance.
