Perfectionism
Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with perfectionism, I help clients explore the pressures and beliefs that can create a constant sense of needing to do more or be better. While perfectionism may have once served as a way to cope or succeed, it often brings stress, self-criticism, and difficulty feeling satisfied. Together we gently uncover these patterns while building greater self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and a more balanced relationship with achievement and self-worth.

Perfectionism
Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who struggle with perfectionism, excessive self-criticism, fear of failure, or the feeling that they must constantly achieve, perform, or get things right in order to feel worthy. Together, we explore the deeper beliefs and protective patterns that can drive perfectionism, including the fear of judgment, rejection, failure, or not being “enough.” Through a trauma-informed, somatic, and compassionate approach, I help clients develop greater self-acceptance, flexibility, and safety within themselves while learning to separate their inherent worth from their accomplishments. Our work creates space to pursue growth and meaningful goals without living under the constant pressure to prove yourself.

Perfectionism
A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Perfectionism can make even your accomplishments feel like they’re never quite enough. You may set impossibly high expectations for yourself, overthink mistakes, compare yourself to others, procrastinate because you’re afraid of getting it wrong, or constantly move the finish line instead of allowing yourself to feel proud. I work with women who are exhausted from believing their worth depends on how well they perform, how much they accomplish, or how others perceive them. Together, we’ll explore what drives the pressure to be perfect and work toward replacing constant self-criticism with self-compassion, flexibility, and a stronger sense of worth that isn’t dependent on getting everything right.

Perfectionism
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.
