I looked for a therapist
for so long.
I’m so glad it’s you.
—Words from a client, shared with permission
Therapy for people who are very, very good at understanding themselves…and are still waiting for that understanding to fix things. Overthinkers. Chronic guilt-havers. Sensitive and tired people. Perfectionists who think they might not be perfectionists because, well, they have some flaws.
Summer Myers is an Art Therapist and Mental Health Counselor for Perfectionism, Anxiety, and Relationships
Perfectionism is my thing. For more than a decade, I’ve made a study of all that striving, worrying, and self-criticism—and why understanding our patterns doesn’t necessarily make them go away. I use art therapy, parts work, and other approaches to loosen the knots keeping those patterns in place, not just find better ways to cope with them.
You can feel more at home in your own life. Less guilty. Less braced for impact. Less like there’s always something about you that needs fixing.

A little about me…
My name is Summer, just like the season. And I’m so glad you’re here.
All of my credentials and qualifications can be found here, but this is what you really need to know: my work on anxious perfectionism is personal, and hard-won. Yes, I have professional training and years of practice that make me a damn good therapist, but more important is my firsthand experience with the nuances and struggles of crippling perfectionism. If anything on this website calls you out, then you and I have a lot to talk about.
My passion for this work extends to all people, but I especially love working with folks in the LGBTQ, chronic illness, & faith transition communities, and also with creatives & college/grad students. If you are interested in my anti-perfectionism work but don’t have need for the clinical/therapeutic aspects, take a look at my writing and resources at Already Good—the anti-perfectionism project.
I absolutely love the work I do, and I can’t wait to hear your story.
Go ahead and text me at 614-321-9578 or schedule a free consultation.
