Perfectionism
Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to get everything right, leaving little room for rest, ease, or self-compassion. You may find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-criticism, or never feeling quite enough, no matter how much you achieve. Over time, this can become exhausting and disconnect you from what actually matters to you. I offer a steady and supportive space where you can loosen the grip of perfectionism, understand where it comes from, and begin to relate to yourself with more kindness and flexibility. You do not have to keep holding it all alone.

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!

Perfectionism
Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Striving for high standards can often feel like a driving force for success, but when it morphs into relentless self-criticism, fear of failure, and an impossible internal scorecard, it becomes exhausting. Perfectionism can make you feel like no achievement is ever quite enough, draining the joy out of your accomplishments and leaving you burnt out. Using a collaborative, evidence-based cognitive behavioural approach, we will work together to gently untangle the belief that your worth is tied solely to your output, soften the inner critic, and build a more compassionate, sustainable relationship with yourself where mistakes are treated as learning rather than proof of failure.

Perfectionism
Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism isn't just about high standards; it’s often a shield used to protect against the fear of failure or judgment. When "good enough" never feels like enough, you end up in a cycle of procrastination, burnout, and self-criticism. In therapy, we work on decoupling your self-worth from your achievements, allowing you to pursue excellence with self-compassion rather than the constant lash of "shoulds."
