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.

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.

Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It is incredibly common to trick yourself into believing that perfectionism is the secret to your success—that if you let go of that relentless internal pressure, you will completely lose your drive. In reality, that pressure traps you in an exhausting cycle where every task, email, or interaction feels like a high-stakes test of your fundamental value as a person. This doesn't just drive achievement; it drives intense burnout, chronic procrastination, and a deeply fried nervous system. Our work together is not about forcing you to abandon your high standards. Instead, we are going to untangle those standards from your self-worth. We will challenge the rigid, all-or-nothing thought patterns that keep you paralyzed, and help you build a much more sustainable way to pursue your goals. You can absolutely remain ambitious and driven while also experiencing genuine inner peace—and maybe even finding some fun in the messy imperfections of life.

Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Overcoming perfectionism may seem straightforward in theory, but it can be anything but. It often requires deep shifts from chasing flawless results to embracing the value of progress and effort. It demands that you challenge the harsh internal critic and separate your personal self-worth from your achievements or mistakes. By intentionally practicing self-compassion and accepting imperfection, you can reduce anxiety, prevent burnout, and find genuine satisfaction in your daily life.

Perfectionism often develops as a protective strategy rather than a personality trait. My approach explores the underlying nervous system patterns that drive overachievement, self-criticism, and chronic pressure.
