Perfectionism
Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals struggling with perfectionism by helping them understand the patterns of high self-criticism, fear of mistakes, and pressure to meet unrealistic standards. Perfectionism often leads to procrastination, burnout, and difficulty feeling satisfied, even when you are doing well. In therapy, we focus on challenging rigid thinking patterns, building flexibility, and developing a more balanced and compassionate approach to achievement. I use CBT and ACT-based strategies to address unhelpful beliefs, reduce the impact of self-critical thoughts, and support you in taking action without being held back by the need to be perfect.

Headline: When "Doing it All" Still Feels Like Falling Behind
The Burden of Being "The Best"
To the world, you have it together. You are the high-achiever, the reliable one, the one who doesn't miss a detail. But internally, the "inner critic" is never satisfied. Whether it’s at work, in your relationships, or in your own self-image, you feel like you are one mistake away from being "exposed." This relentless drive for perfection isn't just a habit—it’s a survival strategy that has left you burnt out and disconnected.
My Approach: From Performance to Presence
In my private-pay practice, we don't just "talk" about your stress. We work to dismantle the rigid rules that keep you stuck. I help high-achieving perfectionists move from a life of constant performance to one of authentic presence. Using an integrated approach, we will:
Neutralize the Inner Critic: Learn to hear the perfectionist voice without letting it drive your decisions.
Embrace "Good Enough": Build the psychological flexibility to prioritize your well-being over an impossible standard.
Reconnect with Values: Pivot your energy away from external validation and toward the things that actually bring you fulfillment.

Perfectionism
Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism can create constant pressure to get things “just right,” often leading to stress, self-criticism, and difficulty feeling satisfied or at ease. In therapy, we’ll look at what drives these patterns and how they’ve taken shape over time. By developing a more flexible, compassionate way of relating to yourself, you can begin to ease the pressure, take healthier risks, and engage with your work and relationships in a way that feels more balanced and sustainable.
