I work with people whose perfectionism contributes to anxiety, stress, procrastination, self-criticism or feeling never good enough. Therapy focuses on developing healthier standards, greater self-compassion and a more balanced approach to achievement.

Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
In therapy, I help individuals understand the emotional and relational patterns beneath perfectionistic striving, so that they can relate to themselves with greater freedom, flexibility, and self-trust. The aim is not to lower one’s standards, but to loosen the grip of harsh self-demand and make room for a fuller, more livable way of being.

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.
