Perfectionism
Jeremy Finkelstein, ADHD Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Perfectionism can lead to overthinking, procrastination, avoidance, and harsh self-criticism. You may delay starting because you are afraid you will not do something well enough. I help clients develop more realistic expectations, tolerate uncertainty, and take meaningful action without waiting for perfect conditions.

Perfectionism
Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
I support individuals who struggle with perfectionism. Are you someone who feels constant pressure to get everything right, fear making mistakes, or never feel “good enough"? While perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside, it often comes with stress, self-criticism, and exhaustion.
In our work together, we gently explore the patterns behind perfectionism and help you build more self-compassion, flexibility, and balance.

Perfectionism
Barzin Hosseini Rad
Registered Psychotherapist, Centre for Training of Psychotherapists Diploma
Perfectionism can leave you feeling that nothing you do is ever good enough, making it difficult to feel satisfied, take risks, or accept mistakes. In therapy, we can explore the fears, self-critical beliefs, and expectations that drive the need to get things right. Together, we can work toward a more compassionate relationship with yourself and greater freedom to live beyond the pressure of perfection.

Perfectionism
Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Are you someone who has a hard time coping when you cannot meet your expectations for yourself? Perhaps you are so consumed by these expectations that you shut down and are unable to try at all. Perfectionism is not just about wanting to do things perfectly. It is an expression of rigid standards for ourselves that can lead to intense emotional suffering, avoidance and procrastination, unstable self-worth and constant overthinking. I use a blend of self-compassion strategies, narrative therapy and emotion regulation techniques to help you break out of shame spiralling and learn how to build more flexibility in your thinking.

Perfectionism
Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
I often assist clients with navigating and recovering from perfectionism. As a recovering perfectionist myself, I understand what you may be going through. Though I will tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, I often use Internal Family Systems Therapy. This approach can help you understand, and eventually befriend, your inner critic or perfectionist. My goal is to create more inner harmony between your perfectionist part and other parts of you that can help balance out your perfectionistic tendencies. Based in Toronto, I provide virtual counselling to clients across Ontario and coaching to clients across Canada. I've been in practice since 2015. Reach out anytime to learn more or schedule a free consultation. I'd love to hear from you!

Perfectionism
Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Perfectionism can show up as high expectations, fear of making mistakes, procrastination, or feeling that your efforts are never quite enough. These patterns may have helped you cope or succeed, while also leaving you stressed, exhausted, or caught in harsh self-criticism.
In therapy, we can explore what may be driving these patterns and how they affect your life now. Together, we can practise setting more flexible expectations, responding to mistakes with greater self-understanding, and taking steps forward even when things don’t feel perfect. We’ll focus on changes that feel realistic and meaningful to you.

Perfectionism
Reegan Bushby
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside while creating significant anxiety, self-criticism, procrastination, or fear of making mistakes underneath. Therapy can help you challenge unrealistic expectations, develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, and pursue meaningful goals without feeling that everything has to be perfect.

Perfectionism
Shelley Klammer
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you silently struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Do you appear successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing emotional pain? I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.
Like all people, you have a unique longing in your heart for something higher and more fulfilling. This differs from perfect ego fantasies seeking to compensate for core wound pain. You might have a genuine soul longing for a beautiful love relationship or financial freedom, for example. You might ache to express who you truly are in the world, or perhaps you want to find your core strength and accomplish something magnificent. Your deeper joy is blocked by unhealed childhood core wound pain, and it can be healed.

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.
