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.

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.

Individuals who struggle with perfectionism typically experience anxiety. I help my clients not only learn what drives their perfectionism, but I help them learn how to free themselves from the beliefs that drive their perfectionism utilizing CBT and when appropriate, EMDR.

Perfectionism
Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism is often praised by the world, but from the inside, it can feel like living with an unrelenting driver that never lets you rest. It keeps you caught in cycles of overworking, fear of failure, procrastination, and a quiet sense that nothing you do is ever quite enough. In our work together, we view perfectionism not as a character flaw, but as a protective armor you built to stay safe or earn approval. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we will work to quiet your harsh inner critic, untangle your self-worth from your productivity, and build a sustainable relationship with success where you can strive for excellence without sacrificing your peace.
