Perfectionism
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.

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.

Perfectionism
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
You may be accomplished, dependable, and highly capable, yet rarely feel satisfied with what you do. Mistakes can feel disproportionately threatening, rest can bring guilt, and even meaningful achievements may provide only brief relief before the next internal imperative takes over. I work with high achievers who are tired of being driven by self-criticism, fear of failure, or the feeling that they must continually prove their worth. Rather than simply trying to counteract perfectionist urges, we explore what perfectionism has come to mean and what it helps you avoid or protect against. The goal is to preserve your ambition while loosening the grip of the inner critic, so that your effort becomes a value-driven choice rather than a condition you use to determine your worth.

Perfectionism
Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
Perfectionistic striving can leave little room to rest, feel satisfied, or meet yourself with understanding when something goes wrong. In therapy, we explore the emotional and relational patterns beneath these demands and the meanings carried by success, failure, and being seen. The work supports greater flexibility and self-trust, allowing your standards to become part of a fuller, more livable relationship to yourself.

Perfectionism
Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
Many of my clients have extremely high standards for themselves and base their self-worth on their ability to meet those standards. Usually perfectionism works to a certain point in their life - until it doesn't. On the inside, it can feel like nothing is ever quite good enough, rest feels unearned, and perfectionists can feel like they're one mistake away from a total meltdown. I help high-achievers loosen perfectionism's grip without losing their edge. I help performers work to be ambitious and at peace with themselves. To strive in a healthy way, and still feel like enough.
