Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Lauren Hone
Registered Psychotherapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist, Yoga teacher
Holding yourself to high standards can look like success on the outside, but often comes with pressure and self-doubt underneath. Therapy helps you understand where that pressure comes from and shift the patterns so you can still care about your goals without feeling constantly weighed down by them.

Perfectionism
Monarch Psychology
Psychologist, R Psych, RSW
Free matching calls available to help match you with the best therapist for your unique needs. While having high expectations and wanting to make others happy are generally seen as positive traits, there is a point at which these habits can become destructive. The key factor that determines when these behaviours become harmful is self-esteem. People pleasing and perfectionism are often efforts to prove your worth, driven by a fear that you’re not good enough and that others will reject or abandon you.
This fear can trap you in a cycle of constantly trying to please and be perfect, but no matter what you do, it never feels like enough. Perfection is impossible, and pleasing everyone is equally unattainable, leaving you feeling stuck and resentful when your efforts do not work. Many of these behaviours are rooted in early socialization or challenges within caregiving relationships, including emotional and narcissistic abuse.
Counselling can help you uncover the factors contributing to these behaviours and address them so you can live with more freedom and self-acceptance. By exploring and understanding the underlying issues, you can break free from this cycle and find a healthier, more balanced approach to life.

Perfectionism
Krishna Vora
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Perfectionism often develops from a desire to succeed, be accepted, or avoid criticism. Over time, however, it can lead to chronic stress, self-doubt, procrastination, and difficulty feeling satisfied with achievements.
Therapy focuses on understanding the roots of perfectionistic thinking and learning ways to shift rigid expectations. By developing self-compassion and flexible thinking patterns, individuals can maintain high standards while reducing the pressure that leads to burnout.
