Perfectionism
Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Perfectionism looks like high standards from the outside, but inside it's a harsh inner critic that moves the goalposts every time you get close. The procrastination, the burnout, the sense that nothing you do is ever quite enough: it's a heavy way to live. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space to understand where that critical voice came from, what it's been trying to protect, and how to soften it. The goal isn't to lower your standards, it's to genuinely understand yourself, replace self-criticism with habits that actually nourish you, and discover that you're allowed to be human. Together we'll work toward feeling more at ease, more self-accepting, and more equipped to pursue what matters without punishing yourself along the way.

Perfectionism
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Perfectionism is often about far more than having high standards. It can be deeply connected to trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, self-worth, fear of failure, people-pleasing, or the painful belief that mistakes somehow make you less worthy.
For many people, perfectionism is not really about excellence — it is about protection. Protection from shame, criticism, rejection, or feeling like you are not enough.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you understand what perfectionism may actually be trying to protect you from. Together, we work to reduce shame, challenge exhausting patterns, build self-trust, and create more flexible, realistic ways of living that do not require you to constantly prove your worth.

Perfectionism can have such a huge impact on your life, making it hard to try things, staying in your comfort zone, and being very hard on yourself. Together, we can work to explore the roots of perfectionism, what it's trying to teach you, and what wisdom you'd like to keep and what relationships to perfectionism you might want to shed.

Michelle Labine
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Counselling Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
Perfectionism is often driven by a desire to avoid mistakes, criticism, failure, or disappointing others. While it can lead to achievement and success, it can also create anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, procrastination, and a relentless inner critic that never feels satisfied. Together, we can explore the roots of perfectionism, develop greater self-compassion, challenge unrealistic expectations, and create a healthier, more sustainable relationship with yourself and your goals.

Perfectionism
Steph Paolucci
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Registered Yoga Teacher
People often seek therapy for perfectionism when the pressure to get everything “right” starts to feel exhausting, overwhelming, or never-ending. It can show up as harsh self-criticism, fear of making mistakes, procrastination, or feeling like nothing is ever good enough. Over time, this pattern can impact relationships, work, and overall well-being, leaving people feeling stuck and disconnected from a sense of ease or satisfaction.

Perfectionism
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards; it is often a protective part of the system trying to prevent criticism, rejection, or a sense of failure. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you understand the 'internal critic' that keeps you in a cycle of relentless striving and exhaustion.
We move beyond 'letting go' to exploring the early survival strategies that made being perfect feel like a necessity. By healing the underlying vulnerabilities that this part is trying to shield, we work to replace the weight of perfectionism with a grounded sense of self-worth and the freedom to be authentically yourself—without the constant pressure of 'never being enough.

Perfectionism
Amanda Stokes
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, E-RYT 500
Perfectionism is a common sub personality born out of a survival need to keep ourselves safe and loved by our caregivers. It is almost always rooted in the underlying feelings of shame and negative core beliefs. Through IFS and Inner Child work, I find working with perfectionism is quite possible and can lead us back to a place of self-compassion and recognizing that you are 'enough' just as you are -without the over functioning.
