Perfectionism
Amy Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CIMPH
I help clients break free from the pressure to be perfect by exploring the fears and beliefs that drive perfectionism. Our work focuses on developing self-compassion, flexibility, and healthier standards that support growth rather than burnout.

Perfectionism
Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside, but internally it often feels like pressure, self-criticism, fear of mistakes, and never feeling “enough.” I work with those who find themselves stuck in cycles of overthinking, overworking, people-pleasing, or holding impossibly high standards for themselves. In therapy, we explore where these patterns come from and how they show up in daily life—academically, professionally, relationally, and emotionally. Many clients struggling with perfectionism feel a constant sense of urgency or fear that they are falling short, even when they are doing more than enough. My approach is both supportive and practical. I help clients begin to notice rigid thought patterns, challenge all-or-nothing thinking, and develop a more compassionate and flexible way of relating to themselves. We also work on building emotional tolerance for imperfection, mistakes, and “good enough” moments without overwhelming guilt or anxiety. For clients who desire it, Christian counseling can be integrated to explore themes of grace, identity, and worth beyond performance. Faith can offer a grounding reminder that value is not earned through achievement, but received through inherent worth. My goal is to help clients step out of the cycle of pressure and into a more balanced, self-compassionate way of living, where success is no longer defined by perfection, but by growth, peace, and authenticity.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Perfectionism often begins as an attempt to stay safe, earn approval, or avoid disappointment, but over time it can become exhausting. Rather than fighting those perfectionistic parts of yourself, we'll become curious about what they're trying to protect and how they learned to take on that role. Together, we'll cultivate greater self-compassion and psychological flexibility so you can pursue excellence without being controlled by impossible standards. You can still have high aspirations while giving yourself permission to be fully human.
