Rachelle Trudel - *psychothérapeute bilingue*
Registered Psychotherapist, RP/PA, CCC
Have you always been the go-to person who knows how to solve problems and has the energy and resilience to address them when others don't? Have you always prided yourself on this skill, but are finding that it is detrimental to you in some ways, now? Are you struggling to achieve a healthier balance in your life all while not wanting to give anything up, like the help you're able to give others, the success you've achieved, and the simple act of getting things done which need to get done? You are not alone and might be struggling with perfectionism. If you'd like to explore how achieving balance is possible, I'd be happy to help.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Avez-vous toujours été la personne vers qui l'on se tourne pour résoudre les problèmes ; celle qui a l'énergie et la résilience nécessaires pour agir quand les autres en manquent ? Avez-vous longtemps tiré fierté de cette aptitude, tout en constatant aujourd'hui qu'elle peut vous nuir ? Avez-vous du mal à trouver un équilibre de vie plus sain sans pour autant vouloir renoncer à ce qui compte pour vous : l'aide que vous apportez aux autres, la réussite que vous avez atteinte et la satisfaction de bien accomplir les tâches nécessaires ? Vous n'êtes pas seul(e) ; il est possible que vous soyez confronté(e) au perfectionnisme. Si vous souhaitez explorer les moyens d'atteindre l'équilibre que vous désirez, je serai heureuse de vous accompagner dans votre démarche.

Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Perfectionism isn't just about high standards; it’s often a shield used to protect against the fear of failure or judgment. When "good enough" never feels like enough, you end up in a cycle of procrastination, burnout, and self-criticism. In therapy, we work on decoupling your self-worth from your achievements, allowing you to pursue excellence with self-compassion rather than the constant lash of "shoulds."

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Perfectionism is rarely about high standards; it is often a protective part of the system trying to prevent criticism, rejection, or a sense of failure. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you understand the 'internal critic' that keeps you in a cycle of relentless striving and exhaustion.
We move beyond 'letting go' to exploring the early survival strategies that made being perfect feel like a necessity. By healing the underlying vulnerabilities that this part is trying to shield, we work to replace the weight of perfectionism with a grounded sense of self-worth and the freedom to be authentically yourself—without the constant pressure of 'never being enough.

Dr. Devina Daya

I help individuals who struggle with perfectionism develop greater self-compassion, flexibility, and balance in their lives. Together, we explore the underlying beliefs that drive perfectionistic tendencies and build healthier ways of approaching goals, mistakes, and self-worth.

Gatineau sits directly across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital and functions as the Quebec side of the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region, with a predominantly French-speaking population of federal government workers who access many services in both official languages. The city's identity is distinct from Ottawa — more working-class and francophone in character — and French-language therapy is the norm, with access to English-speaking practitioners limited relative to the Ontario side of the river. CISSS de l'Outaouais provides public mental health resources, and many Gatineau residents access the broader Ottawa-Gatineau therapy ecosystem via the bridges connecting both cities. Therapists here frequently encounter the stresses of public service careers, bilingual professional demands, and the particular challenges of raising families in a bicultural, bilingual metro area.
