Perfectionism
Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Perfectionism often develops as more than a preference for high standards; it can become a way of securing approval, preventing criticism, or managing uncertainty. We explore the experiences that made achievement and control feel necessary while practicing more flexible, values-based ways of working, resting, relating, and taking risks.

Perfectionism
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
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.

Perfectionism
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to perform, anticipate, and prevent mistakes, often leaving little room for rest or self-compassion. Many women find themselves trapped in cycles of striving that feel productive on the surface but exhausting underneath. In therapy, we work to understand how these patterns developed and build more flexible ways of responding to expectations so that your sense of worth is not tied to constant output.

Perfectionism
Madison Zimbal
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-IT
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.
