Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Perfectionism can look like high achievement from the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. If your self-worth has become tied to productivity, achievement, or getting things exactly right, therapy can help you understand where these expectations come from and loosen their hold. We can work toward greater self-compassion, flexibility, and a sense of worth that does not depend on constant performance.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We work with control and perfectionism in hypnosis and hypnotic regression to uncover limiting beliefs and emotions and explore the root cause memory. Once we process this, there is often a release and a new lease on how we approach things. We remove this programming through the repetitive playing of our hypnotic recording to completely rewire and replace with the newly desired behavior. We work on your sense of self worth, self love and any hardwired belief systems that have led you to place, in many instances, unrealistic expectations that you have set for yourself so that you can still move forward daily with your goals, but so that you do it from a place of love, specifically, love for yourself. We often process guilt and shame and feelings of low self esteem that push individuals over the brink with the nealy impossible task of perfection. You are enough, always remember this. I provide you with tools you can use in your daily life to come back from a panic spiral or feelings of overwhelm, overextension, and burnout. This will return you to feelings of safety with emotional regulation and feeling good in your own skin again.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Perfectionism is often praised—but let’s be clear: most of what gets called “perfectionism” is actually pressure. Pressure to perform, to be liked, to get it right, to not mess up in a world that doesn’t give you much room to be human. A lot of those standards don’t come from you. They come from dominant cultural norms—productivity, achievement, appearance, success—that you’ve been taught to internalize, even when they don’t actually match what you value. So you keep pushing, overthinking, over-preparing, holding yourself to impossible expectations… and still feeling like it’s not enough.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t treat perfectionism like a personality quirk or something to “optimize.” We take it apart. We help you identify where these standards came from, how they’ve been reinforced, and what they’re costing you—your time, your energy, your relationships, your sense of self. From there, we actively work with you to build something different: clearer values, more flexible thinking, and ways of showing up that don’t require constant self-pressure to maintain. This includes learning how to tolerate imperfection, make decisions without over-analysis, and step out of cycles that keep you stuck. This work is about reclaiming your life from expectations that were never really yours—and building one that actually reflects what matters to you.

Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Perfectionism often develops as more than a preference for high standards; it can become a way of securing approval, preventing criticism, or managing uncertainty. We explore the experiences that made achievement and control feel necessary while practicing more flexible, values-based ways of working, resting, relating, and taking risks.

Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Perfectionism is rarely about getting everything right. It is often a survival pattern that develops when you've learned that mistakes are unsafe, success earns acceptance, or your value depends on what you accomplish. While perfectionism may have helped you achieve, it can also leave you feeling anxious, exhausted, and disconnected from yourself.
Together, we'll uncover the patterns beneath perfectionism, quiet your inner critic, strengthen self-trust, and help you embrace progress over perfection. My goal is to help you pursue excellence from a place of confidence and authenticity rather than fear and self-protection.
