Perfectionism
Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
I support individuals who struggle with perfectionism. Are you someone who feels constant pressure to get everything right, fear making mistakes, or never feel “good enough"? While perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside, it often comes with stress, self-criticism, and exhaustion.
In our work together, we gently explore the patterns behind perfectionism and help you build more self-compassion, flexibility, and balance.

Perfectionism
Monarch Psychology
Psychologist, R Psych, RSW
Free matching calls available to help match you with the best therapist for your unique needs. While having high expectations and wanting to make others happy are generally seen as positive traits, there is a point at which these habits can become destructive. The key factor that determines when these behaviours become harmful is self-esteem. People pleasing and perfectionism are often efforts to prove your worth, driven by a fear that you’re not good enough and that others will reject or abandon you.
This fear can trap you in a cycle of constantly trying to please and be perfect, but no matter what you do, it never feels like enough. Perfection is impossible, and pleasing everyone is equally unattainable, leaving you feeling stuck and resentful when your efforts do not work. Many of these behaviours are rooted in early socialization or challenges within caregiving relationships, including emotional and narcissistic abuse.
Counselling can help you uncover the factors contributing to these behaviours and address them so you can live with more freedom and self-acceptance. By exploring and understanding the underlying issues, you can break free from this cycle and find a healthier, more balanced approach to life.

Edmonton's northern location and long, dark winters contribute significantly to seasonal depression and mood challenges, making therapists with expertise in SAD and mood disorders particularly sought after. The city's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, and residents face the psychological ripple effects of boom-bust economic cycles including job instability and financial anxiety. Edmonton has a large Indigenous population, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit clients are especially valued here. Alberta Health Services provides public mental health access, with a growing private practice community serving the city's expanding southern and west-end neighbourhoods.
