Perfectionism
Tiffany Warmington
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP
I support individuals who are struggling with perfectionism, self-criticism, and the pressure to meet high or unrealistic standards. My approach is compassionate and trauma-informed, focusing on understanding the underlying patterns that drive perfectionistic thinking while supporting greater self acceptance and flexibility. Together, we can work toward reducing overwhelm, building self-compassion, and creating a more balanced and sustainable way of relating to yourself and your goals.

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
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.

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!
