Perfectionism
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.

Chelsea Schuringa
Registered Social Worker, RSW
I help clients loosen the grip of perfectionism by challenging rigid standards, building self-compassion, and creating healthier, more flexible ways of relating to themselves and their goals.

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Perfectionism tends to look like high standards from the outside and feel like not-enough from the inside. It's exhausting to live in, and it usually has a longer history than just wanting to do well. I work with clients on what's underneath the drive, the fear, the self-criticism that shows up before the work is even done.

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.
