Perfectionism
Gal Zohar
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist
Perfectionism often goes far beyond wanting things done well. It can stem from fear of failure, self-criticism, people-pleasing, or feeling like your worth is tied to achievement. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, burnout, shame, and difficulty feeling “good enough,” no matter how much you accomplish. Together, we’ll explore the underlying patterns and pressures driving perfectionism, build self-compassion, and work toward a healthier, more sustainable relationship with yourself.

Perfectionism
Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to get everything right, leaving little room for rest, ease, or self-compassion. You may find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-criticism, or never feeling quite enough, no matter how much you achieve. Over time, this can become exhausting and disconnect you from what actually matters to you. I offer a steady and supportive space where you can loosen the grip of perfectionism, understand where it comes from, and begin to relate to yourself with more kindness and flexibility. You do not have to keep holding it all alone.

Perfectionism
Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
Perfectionism in my clients is rarely about high standards — it's often a survival strategy formed alongside ADHD, neurodivergence, rejection sensitivity, and early caretaking roles. We work to understand what your perfectionism has been protecting you from, rather than just trying to dial it down. Using IFS, EFT, and mindfulness, sessions help you loosen the grip of 'never enough' and build a steadier sense of self that doesn't depend on performance.

Perfectionism often masks fear, shame, and self-criticism. I help clients soften rigid standards, develop self-compassion, and reconnect with worth beyond performance.

Perfectionism
Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Perfectionism looks like high standards from the outside, but inside it's a harsh inner critic that moves the goalposts every time you get close. The procrastination, the burnout, the sense that nothing you do is ever quite enough: it's a heavy way to live. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space to understand where that critical voice came from, what it's been trying to protect, and how to soften it. The goal isn't to lower your standards, it's to genuinely understand yourself, replace self-criticism with habits that actually nourish you, and discover that you're allowed to be human. Together we'll work toward feeling more at ease, more self-accepting, and more equipped to pursue what matters without punishing yourself along the way.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
