Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Perfectionism can look like high achievement on the outside but often feels like pressure, self-criticism, and never feeling “enough.” I help clients understand the roots of perfectionism and develop more flexible, compassionate ways of relating to themselves. The goal is to maintain excellence without sacrificing your well-being.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We work with control and perfectionism in hypnosis and hypnotic regression to uncover limiting beliefs and emotions and explore the root cause memory. Once we process this, there is often a release and a new lease on how we approach things. We remove this programming through the repetitive playing of our hypnotic recording to completely rewire and replace with the newly desired behavior. We work on your sense of self worth, self love and any hardwired belief systems that have led you to place, in many instances, unrealistic expectations that you have set for yourself so that you can still move forward daily with your goals, but so that you do it from a place of love, specifically, love for yourself. We often process guilt and shame and feelings of low self esteem that push individuals over the brink with the nealy impossible task of perfection. You are enough, always remember this. I provide you with tools you can use in your daily life to come back from a panic spiral or feelings of overwhelm, overextension, and burnout. This will return you to feelings of safety with emotional regulation and feeling good in your own skin again.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I used to joke that I'm a "recovering perfectionist," but trying to recover from it might just be another way of holding ourselves to someone else's standard (of not being "uptight" or "too good" or something). I think the real key is to figure out what our internal compass really wants to point us to. If we were born to pay attention and excel, let's do that in a way that helps us and others thrive, with less shame and stress when we mess up. I'm an Enneagram 1 (I lead with a personality type that can be called "perfectionist" or "idealist"). Maybe you are an Enneagram 1, or a 2 (a people pleaser), or 3 (an achiever). Or maybe you weren't born this way, but your parents pressured you into perfectionism. However perfectionism intersects with your personality, let's find a way to honor its gifts while asking it to rest a bit so other parts of you can also shine.

Together, we’ll explore the values beneath your drive, cultivate greater self-compassion, and help you pursue meaningful goals without making your self-worth dependent on getting everything right.
