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.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards; it is often a protective part of the system trying to prevent criticism, rejection, or a sense of failure. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you understand the 'internal critic' that keeps you in a cycle of relentless striving and exhaustion.
We move beyond 'letting go' to exploring the early survival strategies that made being perfect feel like a necessity. By healing the underlying vulnerabilities that this part is trying to shield, we work to replace the weight of perfectionism with a grounded sense of self-worth and the freedom to be authentically yourself—without the constant pressure of 'never being enough.

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!
