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.

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.

Heinig Health and Wellness Counseling
Psychologist, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, M.S. Health Psychology, M.A. Clinical Psychology, PSYPACT Providers
We provide psychotherapy for individuals struggling with perfectionism, helping clients understand how high self-imposed standards, fear of failure, and self-criticism can impact emotional well-being and daily functioning. Our approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, reducing all-or-nothing thinking, and developing more balanced and compassionate self-evaluations. Through evidence-based strategies, clients learn to tolerate mistakes, set realistic goals, and build flexibility in their expectations. Treatment supports greater self-acceptance, reduced anxiety and burnout, and a healthier, more sustainable approach to achievement and personal growth.

Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Claudia Blackwell talks about how perfectionism is born out of shame. It's a quote that has stuck with me for years. Perfectionism causes us to feel like we are never good enough, directly attacking our self-worth. Supportive therapy can help us identify the attacks of perfectionism, learn the language of our inner critic, and forge a path forward with self-compassion and self-acceptance.
