Perfectionism
Michele Robison, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Individuals who struggle with perfectionism typically experience anxiety. I help my clients not only learn what drives their perfectionism, but I help them learn how to free themselves from the beliefs that drive their perfectionism utilizing CBT and when appropriate, EMDR.

Perfectionism
Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Perfectionism is sneaky; on one hand, it might feel productive to try to find the "best" or "fastest" way to complete certain tasks. On the other hand, perfectionism can create unrealistic or impossible standards for ourselves and those around us. It can feed into anxiety, low-self esteem, procrastination, negative self-talk, or relationship issues. I work with perfectionists as they take a look at the ways these perfectionistic beliefs are no longer serving them, and help them move forward feeling okay with "good enough."

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
Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism is often praised by the world, but from the inside, it can feel like living with an unrelenting driver that never lets you rest. It keeps you caught in cycles of overworking, fear of failure, procrastination, and a quiet sense that nothing you do is ever quite enough. In our work together, we view perfectionism not as a character flaw, but as a protective armor you built to stay safe or earn approval. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we will work to quiet your harsh inner critic, untangle your self-worth from your productivity, and build a sustainable relationship with success where you can strive for excellence without sacrificing your peace.
