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.

Perfectionism
Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Perfectionism tends to look like high standards from the outside and feel like not-enough from the inside. It's exhausting to live in, and it usually has a longer history than just wanting to do well. I work with clients on what's underneath the drive, the fear, the self-criticism that shows up before the work is even done.

Perfectionism
Striving for Synergy Psychotherapy and Counselling Clinic
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW or RP
Perfectionism often looks like achievement on the outside but can feel like relentless pressure, self-criticism, burnout, anxiety, and never feeling “good enough” on the inside. Therapy for perfectionism can help uncover the roots of these patterns while building greater self-compassion, flexibility, and emotional balance. At Striving for Synergy, we support clients in Toronto, Pickering, and across Ontario who struggle with high expectations, people-pleasing, fear of failure, procrastination, and chronic self-doubt. Through CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and deeper relational work, clients learn to release impossible standards and reconnect with a healthier sense of self-worth.

Perfectionism
Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Are you someone who has a hard time coping when you cannot meet your expectations for yourself? Perhaps you are so consumed by these expectations that you shut down and are unable to try at all. Perfectionism is not just about wanting to do things perfectly. It is an expression of rigid standards for ourselves that can lead to intense emotional suffering, avoidance and procrastination, unstable self-worth and constant overthinking. I use a blend of self-compassion strategies, narrative therapy and emotion regulation techniques to help you break out of shame spiralling and learn how to build more flexibility in your thinking.

Perfectionism
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Perfectionism is not really about high standards. It is about safety. Somewhere along the way, the subconscious decided that being good enough, being beyond criticism or being in complete control was the way to be safe and accepted. That decision then becomes a daily tax: overworking, second-guessing, never quite arriving. RTT goes back to the moment that decision was made and updates the meaning underneath it. The standards can stay. What changes is the price you pay to meet them. Most of my perfectionist clients are women in leadership, founders or creatives. The work is online via Zoom and confidential.

Perfectionism
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Perfectionism can feel like a constant push to meet impossibly high standards, often leaving you stressed, critical of yourself, or afraid of making mistakes. It can affect work, relationships, and overall wellbeing, creating a sense of pressure that never truly goes away.
In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore these patterns, understand the underlying fears or beliefs, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and your goals. Together, we work on building self-compassion, realistic expectations, and confidence, helping you achieve growth without being weighed down by perfection.

Perfectionism
Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Registered Psychotherapist, RMHC, CCC, MSc, CCTP
Perfectionism can look like you have it all together on the outside, like everything is okay and perfectly done. But on the inside, it can feel like constant pressure, overthinking, mental listing, and never quite feeling like it’s enough. No real celebration, no slowing down, no fully accepting or believing compliments.
It’s more like always pushing yourself, second-guessing, or feeling like you can’t slow down because everything has to be done a certain way to feel right.
We can work on understanding where that comes from, shifting those patterns, and building a way of living that feels more sustainable and less exhausting.

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
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.
