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.

Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to get everything right, leaving little room for rest, ease, or self-compassion. You may find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-criticism, or never feeling quite enough, no matter how much you achieve. Over time, this can become exhausting and disconnect you from what actually matters to you. I offer a steady and supportive space where you can loosen the grip of perfectionism, understand where it comes from, and begin to relate to yourself with more kindness and flexibility. You do not have to keep holding it all alone.

Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Perfectionism can feel like an endless treadmill—a constant pressure to do more, be more, and never make a mistake. While it might look like high achievement from the outside, on the inside, it often feels like exhaustion, chronic self-doubt, and a fear that if you slow down, the "truth" of your inadequacy will be revealed. In our work, we look beyond the surface of your to-do list to unpack the profound impact perfectionism has had on your mental health and self-worth.
I use a deeply compassionate and relational approach to help you understand the roots of this pressure. We can incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to target and process the traumas or early life experiences where you first learned that your value was tied to your performance. By weaving in IFS and psychodynamic insights, we’ll work to soften the voice of the inner critic and unburden the parts of you that feel "not enough." My goal is to help you trade the crushing weight of perfection for a life of genuine self-compassion, where you are free to be human, messy, and whole.

Rebekah Wright
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Perfectionism often develops in high-performing individuals and can be both a strength and a source of distress. While it may drive achievement, it can also lead to burnout, isolation, and strain in relationships. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing more sustainable ways of functioning.

Mary D'Agostino
Registered Psychotherapist, RP(Qualifying)
Perfectionism often goes far beyond simply wanting to do well. It can involve intense self-pressure, fear of failure, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, people-pleasing, and feeling like your worth is tied to performance or productivity. Perfectionism is not about being perfect — it is about constantly striving for a level of perfection that is ultimately unattainable for anyone, and the emotional exhaustion that comes from endlessly trying to reach it. In therapy, we work to better understand where these patterns come from, what continues to drive them, and how they may be impacting your relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Together, we focus on building greater self-awareness, flexibility, self-compassion, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It is incredibly common to trick yourself into believing that perfectionism is the secret to your success—that if you let go of that relentless internal pressure, you will completely lose your drive. In reality, that pressure traps you in an exhausting cycle where every task, email, or interaction feels like a high-stakes test of your fundamental value as a person. This doesn't just drive achievement; it drives intense burnout, chronic procrastination, and a deeply fried nervous system. Our work together is not about forcing you to abandon your high standards. Instead, we are going to untangle those standards from your self-worth. We will challenge the rigid, all-or-nothing thought patterns that keep you paralyzed, and help you build a much more sustainable way to pursue your goals. You can absolutely remain ambitious and driven while also experiencing genuine inner peace—and maybe even finding some fun in the messy imperfections of life.

Perfectionism often develops from a desire to succeed, be accepted, or avoid criticism. Over time, however, it can lead to chronic stress, self-doubt, procrastination, and difficulty feeling satisfied with achievements.
Therapy focuses on understanding the roots of perfectionistic thinking and learning ways to shift rigid expectations. By developing self-compassion and flexible thinking patterns, individuals can maintain high standards while reducing the pressure that leads to burnout.

Gal Zohar
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist
Perfectionism often goes far beyond wanting things done well. It can stem from fear of failure, self-criticism, people-pleasing, or feeling like your worth is tied to achievement. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, burnout, shame, and difficulty feeling “good enough,” no matter how much you accomplish. Together, we’ll explore the underlying patterns and pressures driving perfectionism, build self-compassion, and work toward a healthier, more sustainable relationship with yourself.

Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
Perfectionism in my clients is rarely about high standards — it's often a survival strategy formed alongside ADHD, neurodivergence, rejection sensitivity, and early caretaking roles. We work to understand what your perfectionism has been protecting you from, rather than just trying to dial it down. Using IFS, EFT, and mindfulness, sessions help you loosen the grip of 'never enough' and build a steadier sense of self that doesn't depend on performance.
