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
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
Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
Perfectionism often develops as a way to seek approval, avoid criticism, or maintain a sense of control. While it can drive achievement, it can also lead to burnout, anxiety, shame, and difficulty feeling satisfied. For many individuals, cultural and familial expectations play a significant role in perfectionistic patterns. Therapy can help you challenge unrealistic standards, embrace self-compassion, and cultivate a healthier relationship with success and self-worth.

Perfectionism
Blair Pallas
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism often feels like a shield, but it’s actually a weight that leaves you feeling "less than." When the fear of mistakes becomes paralyzing, my approach helps you identify the "all-or-nothing" stories keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll practice "imperfection" at a manageable pace, shifting the focus from impossible standards to your actual values. By learning to tolerate the discomfort of being human, you’ll gain the freedom to take risks and finally show up as your authentic self.

Perfectionism
Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I've found that these early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships. Many have deep, toxic shame, about their authentic selves which often results in a high degree of perfectionism to avoid feeling that shame. In session, we can work through the multifaceted parts that drive perfectionism, and give that part of yourself permission to take on a new, more adaptive role.

Perfectionism
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.

Perfectionism
Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
Folks who struggle with perfectionism and intellectualization tend to represent a high-percentage of my practice. In my experience, people who struggle with perfectionism may have parts that deny they’re a perfectionist—I mean, everybody has to have a standard, right? I love helping folks deepen their understanding of these standards which seem "mission critical,” but may actually be inhibiting happiness and growth.

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.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson

Perfectionism often looks like high standards on the surface, but underneath can be a fear of failure, criticism, or not being enough. I help you understand the roots of these patterns while gradually loosening their grip. Together, we will work toward a more flexible, self-compassionate way of relating to yourself and your goals. This way you can still be productive but also feel more at peace.

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.

Perfectionism
Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you silently struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Do you appear successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing emotional pain? I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.
Like all people, you have a unique longing in your heart for something higher and more fulfilling. This differs from perfect ego fantasies seeking to compensate for core wound pain. You might have a genuine soul longing for a beautiful love relationship or financial freedom, for example. You might ache to express who you truly are in the world, or perhaps you want to find your core strength and accomplish something magnificent. Your deeper joy is blocked by unhealed childhood core wound pain, and it can be healed.

Perfectionism
Sarah Sternlieb
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Always feeling like you have to get things “just right” can be exhausting. You might look like you have it together on the outside, but inside there’s pressure, self-doubt, or fear of getting it wrong. For many people, this started earlier in life, where getting it right felt necessary. We explore where that pressure comes from and help you find a different way of relating to yourself.

Perfectionism
Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Perfectionism can look like high standards and achievement on the outside, but internally it often feels like constant pressure, self-criticism, and fear of making mistakes. You may struggle to feel satisfied with your accomplishments or find that your self-worth rises and falls with performance. In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you challenge rigid thinking patterns, reduce harsh self-talk, and develop a more flexible, values-driven definition of success. Our work focuses on maintaining excellence without sacrificing your well-being, relationships, or sense of self.

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
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults whose perfectionism has stopped serving them, professionals and scientists who are high performing but burning out int he workplace and privately exhausted by their own inner critic. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify the specific thought patterns driving perfectionistic behavior and build a more sustainable relationship with achievement. Many of my clients are first-generation Latinx professionals, for whom perfectionism is often tied to family expectations and the pressure of being the first to do what they do. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented, so progress is something you can see and track, not just feel.

Perfectionism
Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
While striving for excellence can be a strength, maladaptive perfectionism often leads to chronic burnout, fear of failure, and debilitating procrastination. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help individuals challenge rigid "all-or-nothing" thinking and unrealistic self-imposed standards. Our clinical work focuses on decoupling your self-worth from your achievements, building distress tolerance around mistakes, and cultivating sustainable excellence without the mental exhaustion.
