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.

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.

Jeremy Finkelstein, ADHD Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Perfectionism can lead to overthinking, procrastination, avoidance, and harsh self-criticism. You may delay starting because you are afraid you will not do something well enough. I help clients develop more realistic expectations, tolerate uncertainty, and take meaningful action without waiting for perfect conditions.
