Melissa Kaylee De Pace
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), CNP, M.A
Perfectionism can look like ambition from the outside, while internally it can feel like relentless pressure to get things right, avoid disappointing others, and never let yourself fall short. For many people, perfectionism can develop as a learned way of protecting themselves, if I perform well, stay in control, or avoid mistakes, I can avoid criticism, rejection, failure, or the feeling that I’m not enough. Over time, what once helped you cope can become exhausting.
Together, we’ll explore where these expectations came from and what your perfectionism may be trying to protect, while working to separate your worth from your performance. The goal isn’t to lower your standards or stop caring, it’s to help you pursue what matters without fear, self-criticism, and the pressure to be perfect running the show.

Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy, BSc
I help clients manage perfectionism using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge unrealistic expectations, and develop healthier ways of approaching mistakes, uncertainty, and achievement.

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.
