Perfectionism
Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
I often assist clients with navigating and recovering from perfectionism. As a recovering perfectionist myself, I understand what you may be going through. Though I will tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, I often use Internal Family Systems Therapy. This approach can help you understand, and eventually befriend, your inner critic or perfectionist. My goal is to create more inner harmony between your perfectionist part and other parts of you that can help balance out your perfectionistic tendencies. Based in Toronto, I provide virtual counselling to clients across Ontario and coaching to clients across Canada. I've been in practice since 2015. Reach out anytime to learn more or schedule a free consultation. I'd love to hear from you!

Perfectionism
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.

Perfectionism
Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
I support individuals who struggle with perfectionism. Are you someone who feels constant pressure to get everything right, fear making mistakes, or never feel “good enough"? While perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside, it often comes with stress, self-criticism, and exhaustion.
In our work together, we gently explore the patterns behind perfectionism and help you build more self-compassion, flexibility, and balance.

Perfectionism
Jessica Sparks - Gardner
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Do you find it hard to feel satisfied with yourself, even when you've done your best? Maybe you worry about making mistakes, disappointing people, or not doing enough. Perfectionism can be exhausting. We can explore where those expectations come from and how to begin being a little kinder to yourself without feeling like you're giving up.

Perfectionism
Barzin Hosseini Rad
Registered Psychotherapist, Centre for Training of Psychotherapists Diploma
Perfectionism can leave you feeling that nothing you do is ever good enough, making it difficult to feel satisfied, take risks, or accept mistakes. In therapy, we can explore the fears, self-critical beliefs, and expectations that drive the need to get things right. Together, we can work toward a more compassionate relationship with yourself and greater freedom to live beyond the pressure of perfection.

Perfectionism
Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Are you someone who has a hard time coping when you cannot meet your expectations for yourself? Perhaps you are so consumed by these expectations that you shut down and are unable to try at all. Perfectionism is not just about wanting to do things perfectly. It is an expression of rigid standards for ourselves that can lead to intense emotional suffering, avoidance and procrastination, unstable self-worth and constant overthinking. I use a blend of self-compassion strategies, narrative therapy and emotion regulation techniques to help you break out of shame spiralling and learn how to build more flexibility in your thinking.

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.
