Perfectionism
Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I offer a straightforward, empathetic space to work with perfectionism—those high standards, self-criticism, and fear of failure that keep you stuck. We’ll explore the roots of those patterns, practice realistic goal-setting and self-compassion, and develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety and procrastination. I’ll support you in shifting from constant pressure to sustainable excellence and greater ease in daily life.

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
Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
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
Kendra Anselmo Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Perfectionism is often a protective strategy developed to create safety, acceptance, or a sense of control. Therapy can help you explore the fears and beliefs beneath the need to get everything right, soften self-criticism, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself where you can feel worthy without having to constantly prove it.
