Talk it through.
The first 20 minutes are free. You don't need a diagnosis, or a reason that sounds big enough.
What perfectionism can feel like
Perfectionism often looks like success from the outside. Inside, it can feel like pressure that never lets up. You might notice:
- putting things off because they need to be perfect
- harsh self-talk after small mistakes
- struggling to rest or celebrate
- fear of being judged or found out
- feeling that your worth depends on what you achieve
Perfectionism often begins as a way to feel safe or accepted. That makes sense, and it can still change.
How therapy can help with perfectionism
Therapy can help you understand where your standards came from and which ones still serve you. Many people find they can keep their drive while being kinder to themselves.
Small experiments, like handing in something good enough, are often part of the work.
What working with P.A.T.H. looks like
You don't have to arrive with the right words. Your therapist will help you find them.
- Online, from home. Sessions happen by video, so you can talk from a place where you feel comfortable.
- Qualified therapists. Each therapist's professional designation is on their profile.
- The same therapist over time. You work with one therapist who gets to know you, so you don't start over each session.
- A free first conversation. Start with a free 20-minute consultation to see if the fit feels right. There is no commitment.
- Clear pricing. $175 per session ($220 in Alberta). Free 20-minute consultation. Receipts for extended health benefits. Many extended health plans cover psychotherapy or counselling. Check with your plan which credentials it accepts.
If you've had a psychedelic experience
Some people seek support after a psychedelic experience and want help making sense of it. Our therapists also offer integration therapy: ordinary psychotherapy to help you make sense of a past experience and what it brought up. Read more about integration therapy after a psychedelic experience.
P.A.T.H. provides psychotherapy only. We do not sell, supply, prescribe, administer, dose or supervise psilocybin or any other psychedelic. Any psychedelic experience is arranged independently by the client and is not part of our service.
