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.

I used to joke that I'm a "recovering perfectionist," but trying to recover from it might just be another way of holding ourselves to someone else's standard (of not being "uptight" or "too good" or something). I think the real key is to figure out what our internal compass really wants to point us to. If we were born to pay attention and excel, let's do that in a way that helps us and others thrive, with less shame and stress when we mess up. I'm an Enneagram 1 (I lead with a personality type that can be called "perfectionist" or "idealist"). Maybe you are an Enneagram 1, or a 2 (a people pleaser), or 3 (an achiever). Or maybe you weren't born this way, but your parents pressured you into perfectionism. However perfectionism intersects with your personality, let's find a way to honor its gifts while asking it to rest a bit so other parts of you can also shine.

Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
Perfectionism usually isn't about high standards - it's about safety. I help you understand where the need to get everything right came from, what it's protecting you from feeling, and what becomes possible when you're not constantly proving your worth through performance.

Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Perfectionism is one of the primary areas of focus in my practice. I work with adults who set exceptionally high standards for themselves and struggle with self-criticism, fear of failure, overthinking, procrastination, or the persistent sense that what they accomplish is never quite enough. My approach helps clients understand the deeper patterns driving perfectionism while developing greater flexibility, self-compassion, and the ability to pursue meaningful goals without their worth depending on how well they perform.

Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
Perfectionistic striving can leave little room to rest, feel satisfied, or meet yourself with understanding when something goes wrong. In therapy, we explore the emotional and relational patterns beneath these demands and the meanings carried by success, failure, and being seen. The work supports greater flexibility and self-trust, allowing your standards to become part of a fuller, more livable relationship to yourself.
