Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Perfectionism can lead to excessive self-criticism, anxiety, fear of failure, and difficulty feeling satisfied with personal achievements. I help individuals recognize how unrealistic expectations and rigid thinking patterns affect their emotional well-being, relationships, and daily functioning. Using a compassionate, evidence-informed approach, I support clients in developing greater self-compassion, managing anxiety, setting realistic expectations, and building a healthier balance between personal growth and self-acceptance.

Sara Ahmadzadeh
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Perfectionism isn’t something you have to lose; it’s something you can learn to work with. Therapy helps you shift from perfectionism that weighs you down to a healthier, more adaptive drive that lets you strive for excellence without sacrificing your well-being.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
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.

Alisha Levine
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Maybe you’re used to holding yourself to incredibly high standards. You want to do things well, make the right choice, and avoid letting anyone down but somewhere along the way, “doing your best” has started to feel like never being enough. Perfectionism can show up as overthinking, self-criticism, procrastination, people-pleasing, or feeling like you always need to do more. Therapy can be a space to understand where these expectations come from and gently challenge the belief that your worth depends on what you accomplish. Together, we can work toward a kinder relationship with yourself, where you can make mistakes, set boundaries, and move through life without needing everything to be perfect.

Toronto Psychotherapy Space (TPS Therapy)
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Social Workers (RSW, MSW)
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside while internally feeling that nothing you do is ever quite good enough. It can contribute to anxiety, procrastination, burnout, people-pleasing, self-criticism, and fear of failure. Our therapists help clients understand these patterns, develop more flexible expectations, strengthen self-compassion, and build a sense of worth that isn't dependent on always getting everything right.
