Perfectionism often looks like achievement on the outside while feeling like constant pressure on the inside. Together, we'll explore the beliefs that fuel perfectionism and work toward developing greater self-compassion, flexibility, and freedom from impossible standards.

Tiffany Warmington
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP
I support individuals who are struggling with perfectionism, self-criticism, and the pressure to meet high or unrealistic standards. My approach is compassionate and trauma-informed, focusing on understanding the underlying patterns that drive perfectionistic thinking while supporting greater self acceptance and flexibility. Together, we can work toward reducing overwhelm, building self-compassion, and creating a more balanced and sustainable way of relating to yourself and your goals.

Mary D'Agostino
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Perfectionism often goes far beyond simply wanting to do well. It can involve intense self-pressure, fear of failure, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, people-pleasing, and feeling like your worth is tied to performance or productivity. Perfectionism is not about being perfect — it is about constantly striving for a level of perfection that is ultimately unattainable for anyone, and the emotional exhaustion that comes from endlessly trying to reach it. In therapy, we work to better understand where these patterns come from, what continues to drive them, and how they may be impacting your relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Together, we focus on building greater self-awareness, flexibility, self-compassion, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

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.
