Perfectionism
Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
In therapy, I help individuals understand the emotional and relational patterns beneath perfectionistic striving, so that they can relate to themselves with greater freedom, flexibility, and self-trust. The aim is not to lower one’s standards, but to loosen the grip of harsh self-demand and make room for a fuller, more livable way of being.

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
Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often looks like high standards, but it is usually driven by fear of failure, criticism, or not being enough. We can work on loosening the pressure without lowering what you value. The focus is on more flexible thinking, better self-compassion, and the ability to take action without needing everything to be flawless.

Perfectionism
Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I work with individuals who feel stuck in the pressure of always needing to do more, be better, or get everything “right.” Perfectionism can be exhausting—it often comes with overthinking, self-criticism, people-pleasing, fear of disappointing others, and feeling like you can never fully relax or slow down. Many people look like they’re holding it all together on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed inside. In therapy, I create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can let your guard down and stop carrying so much pressure alone. Together, we work on building self-compassion, healthier boundaries, and a more balanced way of living that feels less overwhelming and more sustainable.
