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
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
Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
Perfectionism can feel like constant pressure: to get it right, to not make mistakes, to meet expectations that may not even feel like your own. In our work together, we bring curiosity about your unique lived experience to exploring how perfectionism shows up in your thoughts, body, and relationships. We might gently ask: Who are you being perfect for? By whose standards? What do you imagine might happen if you made a mistake? How were mistakes handled in your home growing up? Rather than treating perfectionism as a personal flaw, we can understand it as a relational, contextual response to a situation/dynamic, a way of organizing/modifying yourself that developed in response to your environment. The existential statement underneath perfectionism could be, “In order to belong in this family, I must never mess up” or “I live my life as if I’ll be invisible/alone/worthless unless I am perfect.” Put in these contexts, perfectionistic strategies are a matter of life and death and basic survival. By slowing down and building awareness around how you got here, we can begin to tease apart these patterns, reconnect with what *you* need and value, and find more flexible, compassionate ways of being with yourself. It’s always a risk being more yourself, and I have huge respect for the ways you’ve learned to keep yourself safe and connected (basic human needs, btw). As we unravel your perfectionistic magnificence, you will likely surprise yourself with the brilliance and creativity that’s been hiding there all along, waiting for the right support to emerge.

Perfectionism
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
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.

Perfectionism
Lauren Hone
Registered Psychotherapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist, Yoga teacher
Holding yourself to high standards can look like success on the outside, but often comes with pressure and self-doubt underneath. Therapy helps you understand where that pressure comes from and shift the patterns so you can still care about your goals without feeling constantly weighed down by them.

Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR, and ART guide reprocessing to shift past experiences into the past so you can reorient and engage fully in the present.

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.
