Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, perfectionism is often driven by protective parts that strive for high standards to prevent failure, criticism, or rejection. These parts typically guard more vulnerable exiled parts that carry shame, inadequacy, or fear of not being enough. Therapy focuses on helping clients access Self to relate to these parts with compassion, allowing rigid perfectionistic roles to soften and creating space for greater flexibility and self-acceptance.

A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Perfectionism can make even your accomplishments feel like they’re never quite enough. You may set impossibly high expectations for yourself, overthink mistakes, compare yourself to others, procrastinate because you’re afraid of getting it wrong, or constantly move the finish line instead of allowing yourself to feel proud. I work with women who are exhausted from believing their worth depends on how well they perform, how much they accomplish, or how others perceive them. Together, we’ll explore what drives the pressure to be perfect and work toward replacing constant self-criticism with self-compassion, flexibility, and a stronger sense of worth that isn’t dependent on getting everything right.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.
