Perfectionism
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Perfectionism can often look like holding yourself to high standards, but underneath it may feel like pressure, self-criticism, and a fear of making mistakes or not being “good enough.” You might notice difficulty slowing down, overthinking decisions, or feeling like your worth is tied to achievement, productivity, or how well you perform. While perfectionism can sometimes feel motivating, it often comes with anxiety, burnout, and a constant sense that things could fall apart.
In our work together, we’ll explore the underlying experiences and beliefs that have shaped these patterns of perfectionism, with a focus on understanding rather than self-judgment. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll work with the cognitive, emotional and nervous system aspects of perfectionism, helping you create more flexibility, self-compassion, and balance. The aim is to help you feel safer being imperfect and more connected to your own internal sense of worth.
I draw from approaches such as ACT, IFS, Mindfulness-Based CBT, EMDR, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll build practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and self-criticism while also supporting deeper healing and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Perfectionism
Caroline Lacelle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
My treatment approach follows the three phases of trauma treatment; resourcing, reprocessing, and reorienting. Together we will determine the resources you may need to tap into a grounded sense of self through somatic practices and parts work. Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR, and ART guide reprocessing to shift past experiences into the past so you can reorient and engage fully in the present.

Perfectionism
Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, LMHC, CCC, MSc, MBA, CCTP
Perfectionism can look like you have it all together on the outside, like everything is okay and perfectly done. But on the inside, it can feel like constant pressure, overthinking, mental listing, and never quite feeling like it’s enough. No real celebration, no slowing down, no fully accepting or believing compliments.
It’s more like always pushing yourself, second-guessing, or feeling like you can’t slow down because everything has to be done a certain way to feel right.
We can work on understanding where that comes from, shifting those patterns, and building a way of living that feels more sustainable and less exhausting.

Perfectionism
Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Perfectionism isn't about striving for excellence—it is a survival strategy designed to protect you from the pain of feeling not good enough. On the outside, your high standards make you look incredibly driven, successful, and reliable. But privately, the pressure to never make a mistake leaves you trapped in a relentless cycle of overthinking, chronic procrastination, and severe high-achievement burnout. You are left feeling deeply exhausted, stuck, and hyper-focused on what you should be doing, rather than who you actually are.I specialize in helping clients break free from the suffocating weight of perfectionism, self-doubt, and the chronic people-pleasing that often tags along with it. In our collaborative space, we won't try to "fix" you or strip away your drive. Instead, we use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to gently untangle unhelpful mindsets, quiet your loud inner critic, and build practical everyday tools rooted in self-compassion.Because perfectionism keeps your body in a state of constant, low-grade alarm, traditional talk therapy can sometimes keep you trapped in your head. To bypass that intellectual armor, we integrate somatic tools, breathing techniques, and visual exercises alongside neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. Looking beneath the surface allows us to safely access, process, and release the hidden physical tension, fear, and years of stuck emotional material driving your anxiety. Together, we will calm your nervous system so you can step out of chronic overwhelm and into an authentic, intentional, and aligned way of living.
