Perfectionism
Melissa Kaylee De Pace
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), CNP, M.A
Perfectionism can look like ambition from the outside, while internally it can feel like relentless pressure to get things right, avoid disappointing others, and never let yourself fall short. For many people, perfectionism can develop as a learned way of protecting themselves, if I perform well, stay in control, or avoid mistakes, I can avoid criticism, rejection, failure, or the feeling that I’m not enough. Over time, what once helped you cope can become exhausting.
Together, we’ll explore where these expectations came from and what your perfectionism may be trying to protect, while working to separate your worth from your performance. The goal isn’t to lower your standards or stop caring, it’s to help you pursue what matters without fear, self-criticism, and the pressure to be perfect running the show.

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
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.

Perfectionism
Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services
Psychologist, RPsych
When high standards cross the line into perfectionism, life can feel like an endless treadmill where nothing you do is ever quite "good enough." Driven by an relentless inner critic, fear of making mistakes, or the overwhelming pressure to manage every detail, you may find yourself trapped between burnout on one side and paralysis on the other. You shouldn't have to earn your self-worth through constant productivity, nor do you have to live in fear of falling short.
At Viewpoint Psychological Services in Calgary, our therapists offer a grounding, non-judgmental space to help you step off the performance cycle. Using evidence-based approaches—such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—we partner with you to quiet the pressure, reframe your relationship with mistakes, and cultivate a deeper sense of internal peace.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Soften the Inner Critic: Untangle your intrinsic self-worth from achievement and flawless execution, learning to treat yourself with genuine kindness when things don't go as planned.
- Overcome Paralysis & Procrastination: Break free from all-or-nothing thinking so you can take confident action without being held back by the fear of imperfection.
- Redefine Sustainable Success: Establish healthy boundaries around work and life, set realistic standards, and discover a lasting sense of worthiness exactly as you are.
You don't have to keep burning yourself out to prove your value. Let’s partner together to help you trade the pressure of perfection for balance, authenticity, and genuine ease.

Perfectionism
Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
I often assist clients with navigating and recovering from perfectionism. As a recovering perfectionist myself, I understand what you may be going through. Though I will tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, I often use Internal Family Systems Therapy. This approach can help you understand, and eventually befriend, your inner critic or perfectionist. My goal is to create more inner harmony between your perfectionist part and other parts of you that can help balance out your perfectionistic tendencies. Based in Toronto, I provide virtual counselling to clients across Ontario and coaching to clients across Canada. I've been in practice since 2015. Reach out anytime to learn more or schedule a free consultation. I'd love to hear from you!
