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.

Toronto Psychotherapy Space (TPS Therapy)
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Social Workers (RSW, MSW)
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside while internally feeling that nothing you do is ever quite good enough. It can contribute to anxiety, procrastination, burnout, people-pleasing, self-criticism, and fear of failure. Our therapists help clients understand these patterns, develop more flexible expectations, strengthen self-compassion, and build a sense of worth that isn't dependent on always getting everything right.

Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It is incredibly common to trick yourself into believing that perfectionism is the secret to your success—that if you let go of that relentless internal pressure, you will completely lose your drive. In reality, that pressure traps you in an exhausting cycle where every task, email, or interaction feels like a high-stakes test of your fundamental value as a person. This doesn't just drive achievement; it drives intense burnout, chronic procrastination, and a deeply fried nervous system. Our work together is not about forcing you to abandon your high standards. Instead, we are going to untangle those standards from your self-worth. We will challenge the rigid, all-or-nothing thought patterns that keep you paralyzed, and help you build a much more sustainable way to pursue your goals. You can absolutely remain ambitious and driven while also experiencing genuine inner peace—and maybe even finding some fun in the messy imperfections of life.

Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Are you someone who has a hard time coping when you cannot meet your expectations for yourself? Perhaps you are so consumed by these expectations that you shut down and are unable to try at all. Perfectionism is not just about wanting to do things perfectly. It is an expression of rigid standards for ourselves that can lead to intense emotional suffering, avoidance and procrastination, unstable self-worth and constant overthinking. I use a blend of self-compassion strategies, narrative therapy and emotion regulation techniques to help you break out of shame spiralling and learn how to build more flexibility in your thinking.

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!
