Art therapy for anxiety • perfectionism • chronic guilt
I’m Summer.
Let’s get you feeling better.
Shame, self-punishment, and perpetual guilt: these are signs of anxious perfectionism. No matter how hard you try, you're always falling short. It's exhausting, but you don't really know how to relax and probably don't sleep so well.
Maybe you're first-generation, or the sibling who had to keep it together, or a grown-up "gifted and talented" kid. You’re probably the “mom” (regardless of gender) of your friend group. Or maybe you have a hard time making close, lasting friendships, because of that damn social anxiety.
Anxious perfectionism can show up in the body, maybe as stomach aches, racing heart, or panic attacks. Many of my clients experience skin-picking and hair-pulling. Perhaps you have body tension all the time, braced for something bad to happen or for someone to figure out that you really have no idea what you’re doing.
I’m constantly seeing anxious perfectionists suffer from severe procrastination & indecision and difficulty with boundaries & people-pleasing. You may not even be comfortable calling yourself a good person, because you’re always doubting that you’re doing the right thing. It would be so helpful if somebody else would just come in and tell you the right things to do and be.
I get it because I've been there. I’m Summer Myers, and I've helped hundreds of anxious perfectionists feel like they can breathe again. I aim for the root of anxiety, perfectionism, & chronic guilt with tools I've honed over 7 years of practice. I blend art therapy, parts work, & other therapy techniques to help you feel unburdened, deeply rested, and unapologetically joyful. If you’re ready to feel better, get in touch—I’m listening.

Perfectionists don't do things perfectly—they feel like they always have to do better.
Let’s talk. Online.
You’re totally welcome to wear your pajama pants and skip the traffic, because online therapy is comfortable and convenient. I host live video sessions with folks across the states of California & Ohio. I ship a small set of art supplies to my clients to dedicate to our work together. Online sessions are perfect for stay-at-home parents, college students, folks who travel or have limited mobility, and everyone who hates to pay for parking.
