Perfectionism
Reegan Bushby
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside while creating significant anxiety, self-criticism, procrastination, or fear of making mistakes underneath. Therapy can help you challenge unrealistic expectations, develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, and pursue meaningful goals without feeling that everything has to be perfect.

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
Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Perfectionism can show up as high expectations, fear of making mistakes, procrastination, or feeling that your efforts are never quite enough. These patterns may have helped you cope or succeed, while also leaving you stressed, exhausted, or caught in harsh self-criticism.
In therapy, we can explore what may be driving these patterns and how they affect your life now. Together, we can practise setting more flexible expectations, responding to mistakes with greater self-understanding, and taking steps forward even when things don’t feel perfect. We’ll focus on changes that feel realistic and meaningful to you.

Perfectionism
Shelley Klammer
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you silently struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Do you appear successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing emotional pain? I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.
Like all people, you have a unique longing in your heart for something higher and more fulfilling. This differs from perfect ego fantasies seeking to compensate for core wound pain. You might have a genuine soul longing for a beautiful love relationship or financial freedom, for example. You might ache to express who you truly are in the world, or perhaps you want to find your core strength and accomplish something magnificent. Your deeper joy is blocked by unhealed childhood core wound pain, and it can be healed.

Perfectionism
Tanya Master | Online Somatic & Psychosomatic Consulting
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner | Integrative Coach
Perfectionism often develops as a protective strategy rather than a personality trait. My approach explores the underlying nervous system patterns that drive overachievement, self-criticism, and chronic pressure.

Perfectionism
Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
Perfectionism can feel like constant pressure: to get it right, to not make mistakes, to meet expectations that may not even feel like your own. In our work together, we bring curiosity about your unique lived experience to exploring how perfectionism shows up in your thoughts, body, and relationships. We might gently ask: Who are you being perfect for? By whose standards? What do you imagine might happen if you made a mistake? How were mistakes handled in your home growing up? Rather than treating perfectionism as a personal flaw, we can understand it as a relational, contextual response to a situation/dynamic, a way of organizing/modifying yourself that developed in response to your environment. The existential statement underneath perfectionism could be, “In order to belong in this family, I must never mess up” or “I live my life as if I’ll be invisible/alone/worthless unless I am perfect.” Put in these contexts, perfectionistic strategies are a matter of life and death and basic survival. By slowing down and building awareness around how you got here, we can begin to tease apart these patterns, reconnect with what *you* need and value, and find more flexible, compassionate ways of being with yourself. It’s always a risk being more yourself, and I have huge respect for the ways you’ve learned to keep yourself safe and connected (basic human needs, btw). As we unravel your perfectionistic magnificence, you will likely surprise yourself with the brilliance and creativity that’s been hiding there all along, waiting for the right support to emerge.

Perfectionism
Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Overcoming perfectionism may seem straightforward in theory, but it can be anything but. It often requires deep shifts from chasing flawless results to embracing the value of progress and effort. It demands that you challenge the harsh internal critic and separate your personal self-worth from your achievements or mistakes. By intentionally practicing self-compassion and accepting imperfection, you can reduce anxiety, prevent burnout, and find genuine satisfaction in your daily life.
