Perfectionism
Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with perfectionism—the constant pressure to get everything right, meet high expectations, and avoid mistakes at all costs. While perfectionism can look like success on the outside, it often comes with anxiety, burnout, and a harsh inner critic that’s hard to turn off. Together, we focus on understanding the patterns driving perfectionism and building more flexible, sustainable ways of thinking and responding. My approach combines practical tools with mind-body awareness, helping you reduce pressure, increase self-trust, and show up more fully—without feeling like everything has to be perfect first.

Perfectionism
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who hold themselves to very high standards and feel the cost of that internally. Perfectionism can look like overworking, difficulty stopping, constant self‑criticism, or a sense that nothing is ever quite enough. It can also look like procrastination, avoidance, or shutting down when something feels too overwhelming or too important to get wrong. Many people I see are highly responsible and often successful on the outside, but feel tense, depleted, or quietly anxious much of the time.
Perfectionism often develops as a way to stay safe, cope with unpredictability, or manage early experiences where being competent, careful, or invisible felt necessary. Over time, these strategies can become exhausting. You may notice that you rarely feel satisfied, that rest feels undeserved, or that you are harder on yourself than anyone else would ever be, even when you are doing your best.
In our work together, we make space for the part of you that strives and the part of you that is tired of striving. Rather than forcing you to “let go” of high standards, we get curious about what perfectionism has been protecting and what it is costing you now. We pay attention to how perfectionism shows up in your body, thoughts, and relationships, and look for ways of relating to yourself that are still responsible and thoughtful but less punishing, so you can experience more ease, satisfaction, and permission to be human in your work, relationships, and inner life. Working with perfectionism is a central part of my practice, and I have deep respect for how hard you’ve been working to hold everything together.

Perfectionism
Tabitha Echavarria
Psychologist, PsyD
Perfectionism often looks like high standards or indecision on the surface, but underneath, it can feel like constant pressure, fear of failure, procrastination, or never feeling “good enough.” You may find yourself overworking, overthinking, or avoiding things altogether because the stakes feel so high. I help you understand the deeper emotional patterns driving perfectionism so you can reduce self-pressure, take more meaningful action, and develop a more balanced, sustainable way of relating to yourself and your goals.

Perfectionism
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Perfectionism often looks like high standards, strong work ethic, and attention to detail — but internally it can feel like pressure, self-criticism, fear of failure, or a constant sense that nothing is ever quite enough. Many people with perfectionistic patterns are deeply capable, yet quietly exhausted from trying to get things “right” all the time.
In therapy, we explore perfectionism not as a flaw to eliminate, but as an adaptive strategy that once served an important purpose — often related to safety, belonging, approval, or avoiding shame. From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed lens, we gently look at how these patterns developed and how they continue to shape your relationship with yourself, your creativity, and others.
Rather than trying to replace perfectionism with productivity hacks or forced positivity, this work supports a deeper shift in how you relate to internal pressure. We begin to notice what happens in your body when perfectionism is activated — the tightening, urgency, fear, or collapse — and what might be happening underneath those experiences.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we slow down enough to access the “felt sense” of perfectionism, allowing space for the parts of you that are striving, protecting, or afraid to be met with curiosity rather than judgment. This often opens the door to new internal possibilities that cannot be reached through thinking alone.
As clients develop greater awareness and nervous system regulation, perfectionism often begins to soften. This does not mean losing ambition or care, but rather shifting from a driven, fear-based relationship with achievement to one that includes self-trust, flexibility, and internal permission.
This approach is especially supportive for creatives, professionals, and highly sensitive individuals who feel blocked, burned out, or disconnected from their natural creativity because of internal pressure to perform or succeed.
Over time, therapy supports a more sustainable relationship with your inner standards — one that allows for both excellence and ease, structure and spaciousness, effort and rest.
