Perfectionism
Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Perfectionism often masks a deeper fear of not being enough as you are. We will trace where that pressure came from and practice a more honest, sustainable relationship with effort, mistakes, and self-worth.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Dr. Felicia Fisher-Green
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I work with clients who tie their sense of worth to achievement, productivity, financial success, or being the person who always gets things right. In therapy, we explore the beliefs underneath perfectionism and work toward a healthier relationship with ambition, mistakes, rest, and self-worth without asking you to give up the goals that matter to you.

Perfectionism
Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide support for individuals struggling with perfectionism, helping clients understand and shift rigid standards, fear of failure, and self-critical thinking patterns. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, self-compassion practices, and values-based interventions, I assist clients in developing greater flexibility, realistic goal-setting, and healthier motivation. My work focuses on reducing anxiety and burnout, improving self-worth, and fostering a more balanced, sustainable approach to achievement and personal growth.

Perfectionism
Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Perfectionism can look like ambition from the outside, but internally it may feel like constant pressure. You may procrastinate because you are afraid of getting something wrong, overwork yourself trying to meet impossible standards, struggle to accept praise, or feel that your worth depends on how well you perform.
My approach is both insight-oriented and practical. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore how criticism, family expectations, comparison, achievement, or past experiences shaped the belief that you must be exceptional to feel secure, respected, or worthy. We can also examine what perfectionism protects you from, such as rejection, shame, uncertainty, or the fear of disappointing others.
I use CBT to help you identify all-or-nothing thinking, unrealistic expectations, and harsh self-judgments. We may practice replacing rigid standards with goals that are challenging but sustainable. Mindfulness can also help you notice self-critical thoughts without automatically obeying them.
When appropriate, I may suggest behavioral missions that involve doing something imperfectly, submitting work without excessive checking, resting before everything is finished, asking for help, or allowing someone to see you while you are still learning. These challenges are paced carefully and designed to help you discover that mistakes and uncertainty are uncomfortable, but survivable.
My goal is not to take away your motivation or lower your standards. It is to help you pursue meaningful goals without sacrificing your health, relationships, or sense of self in the process.
