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.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Perfectionism can feel like a constant push to meet impossibly high standards, often leaving you stressed, critical of yourself, or afraid of making mistakes. It can affect work, relationships, and overall wellbeing, creating a sense of pressure that never truly goes away.
In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore these patterns, understand the underlying fears or beliefs, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and your goals. Together, we work on building self-compassion, realistic expectations, and confidence, helping you achieve growth without being weighed down by perfection.
