Perfectionism
Atlas Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Support for perfectionism focuses on helping individuals understand the underlying beliefs, pressures, and fears that drive unrealistic standards and self-criticism. Through a compassionate and evidence-based approach, clients are guided in challenging rigid thinking patterns, developing self-compassion, and learning to tolerate mistakes and uncertainty. The work aims to reduce anxiety and burnout while fostering healthier standards, greater balance, and a more flexible and fulfilling approach to personal and professional life.

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
Havenwood Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Perfectionism can look like high achievement from the outside while feeling like relentless pressure on the inside. You may constantly second-guess yourself, struggle to rest, fear making mistakes, or feel that no matter how much you accomplish, it isn't enough.
Taylor specializes in anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, and self-worth. Drawing from IFS, somatic, attachment-based, and mindfulness approaches, she helps clients quiet the inner critic, understand the pressure beneath perfectionism, and reconnect with a sense of self that isn't dependent on getting everything right.

Perfectionism
Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
Perfectionism can feel like constant pressure: to get it right, to not make mistakes, to meet expectations that may not even feel like your own. In our work together, we bring curiosity about your unique lived experience to exploring how perfectionism shows up in your thoughts, body, and relationships. We might gently ask: Who are you being perfect for? By whose standards? What do you imagine might happen if you made a mistake? How were mistakes handled in your home growing up? Rather than treating perfectionism as a personal flaw, we can understand it as a relational, contextual response to a situation/dynamic, a way of organizing/modifying yourself that developed in response to your environment. The existential statement underneath perfectionism could be, “In order to belong in this family, I must never mess up” or “I live my life as if I’ll be invisible/alone/worthless unless I am perfect.” Put in these contexts, perfectionistic strategies are a matter of life and death and basic survival. By slowing down and building awareness around how you got here, we can begin to tease apart these patterns, reconnect with what *you* need and value, and find more flexible, compassionate ways of being with yourself. It’s always a risk being more yourself, and I have huge respect for the ways you’ve learned to keep yourself safe and connected (basic human needs, btw). As we unravel your perfectionistic magnificence, you will likely surprise yourself with the brilliance and creativity that’s been hiding there all along, waiting for the right support to emerge.
