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.

Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Perfectionism can be exhausting. It is easy to mistake for having high standards, but it is often an inner voice telling you that nothing is ever quite good enough, no matter how hard you try. During our sessions, we can explore where that voice came from, and why it thinks it is protecting you from judgement, failure, or fear. Together, we can discuss separating your sense of self-worth from your achievements, and accepting mistakes with compassion.

Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Perfectionism often develops as more than a preference for high standards; it can become a way of securing approval, preventing criticism, or managing uncertainty. We explore the experiences that made achievement and control feel necessary while practicing more flexible, values-based ways of working, resting, relating, and taking risks.
