Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Perfectionism can feel like an endless treadmill—a constant pressure to do more, be more, and never make a mistake. While it might look like high achievement from the outside, on the inside, it often feels like exhaustion, chronic self-doubt, and a fear that if you slow down, the "truth" of your inadequacy will be revealed. In our work, we look beyond the surface of your to-do list to unpack the profound impact perfectionism has had on your mental health and self-worth.
I use a deeply compassionate and relational approach to help you understand the roots of this pressure. We can incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to target and process the traumas or early life experiences where you first learned that your value was tied to your performance. By weaving in IFS and psychodynamic insights, we’ll work to soften the voice of the inner critic and unburden the parts of you that feel "not enough." My goal is to help you trade the crushing weight of perfection for a life of genuine self-compassion, where you are free to be human, messy, and whole.

Striving for Synergy Psychotherapy and Counselling Clinic
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW or RP
Perfectionism often looks like achievement on the outside but can feel like relentless pressure, self-criticism, burnout, anxiety, and never feeling “good enough” on the inside. Therapy for perfectionism can help uncover the roots of these patterns while building greater self-compassion, flexibility, and emotional balance. At Striving for Synergy, we support clients in Toronto, Pickering, and across Ontario who struggle with high expectations, people-pleasing, fear of failure, procrastination, and chronic self-doubt. Through CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and deeper relational work, clients learn to release impossible standards and reconnect with a healthier sense of self-worth.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Perfectionism is often about far more than having high standards. It can be deeply connected to trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, self-worth, fear of failure, people-pleasing, or the painful belief that mistakes somehow make you less worthy.
For many people, perfectionism is not really about excellence — it is about protection. Protection from shame, criticism, rejection, or feeling like you are not enough.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you understand what perfectionism may actually be trying to protect you from. Together, we work to reduce shame, challenge exhausting patterns, build self-trust, and create more flexible, realistic ways of living that do not require you to constantly prove your worth.
