Private-pay psychotherapy

Therapy for adults dealing with perfectionism, overcontrol, and religious harm.

This is for people who understand themselves fairly well and still feel stuck in the same places.

People rely on you, and it takes more out of you than it used to.

You may know exactly why you do what you do. That usually doesn't close the gap — it just means you can watch yourself do the thing anyway.

If insight alone fixed it, you would already be done.

Is this the right fit?

Here is what the problem usually looks like:

You spend too much time preparing, researching, or replaying decisions.
You look fine from the outside and feel wrung out by the end of the day.
You don't take up much space, and you're not entirely sure that was a choice.
You left a rigid or shaming religious environment, but fear and guilt still shape too many decisions.

Perfectionism

High standards are not the problem. Fear-based control is.

Overcontrol

Reliable on the outside. Rigid, braced, and narrowed on the inside.

Religious harm

What lingers after coercion, shame, and authoritarian certainty.

What you won't have to defend.

LGBTQ+ affirming. Identity is not treated as pathology or debate.

HAES-aligned. Body size is not treated as a moral issue or a treatment target.

Neurodiversity-affirming. Different minds, pacing, and communication do not have to follow one narrow standard.

Social context matters. Race, migration, religion, family obligation, and power are part of the clinical picture.

What therapy is like.

Start with a consult.

We talk through what is going on, what you want help with, and whether this feels like a good fit.

Look at where things are not shifting.

We look closely at the places where effort, insight, or self-control have not been enough.

Read

Test something different.

That can mean going back to where the pattern started, testing different responses during the week, and tracking what actually changes.

Optional Method

Some sessions, we build.

Using LEGO brick sets as a structured clinical tool, some clients work through perfectionism, overcontrol, or religious harm by constructing the pattern in physical space rather than only discussing it.

How it works

When It Helps

The pattern is clear in conversation but hasn't shifted in behavior.
Abstract problems become easier to work on when they have a physical form.
You think better when you can see structure rather than only hold it in your head.

Worth reading first.

Perfectionism as a Structural Problem

If perfectionism is treated only as mindset, behavior usually snaps back.

The Adjacent Possible

Durable change starts with the next workable move, not reinvention.
