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.

Bob Mullen
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed., Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor
I work to help people move from needing to be perfect to embracing excellence. This lessens feelings of regret over "errors" and allows the client to find better motivation to attempt tasks, not avoiding perceived failure.

Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide support for individuals struggling with perfectionism, helping clients understand and shift rigid standards, fear of failure, and self-critical thinking patterns. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, self-compassion practices, and values-based interventions, I assist clients in developing greater flexibility, realistic goal-setting, and healthier motivation. My work focuses on reducing anxiety and burnout, improving self-worth, and fostering a more balanced, sustainable approach to achievement and personal growth.

Michelle Borunda
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism often looks like high standards from the outside, but from the inside it can feel like nothing is ever quite enough. I work with clients to understand where that pressure came from and to build a healthier relationship with rest, mistakes, and their own worth, one that doesn't depend on constant achievement.

David J Schlosz
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
Perfectionism is often driven not by high standards alone, but by fear of failure, shame, rejection, or feeling “not enough.” While perfectionism may create achievement, it frequently comes at the cost of peace, self-worth, connection, and emotional freedom. Therapy helps clients explore the deeper roots of perfectionism while learning how to relate to themselves with greater compassion and flexibility.

Abilene is a West Texas city home to Dyess Air Force Base—host of a B-1 Lancer bomber wing—as well as three Christian universities: Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene Christian University, and McMurry University, giving the city a distinctive identity anchored by military service and faith-based education. The strong evangelical Christian cultural context shapes how mental health is discussed and accessed in the community, with many residents preferring faith-integrated therapy or pastoral counseling as a primary mode of support. Military and veteran mental health needs—particularly trauma, PTSD, and family stress—are a significant part of the Abilene therapy landscape, and the city's position in remote West Texas means that access to specialist care can require telehealth or significant travel. Common therapy concerns include faith and mental health, military service and transition stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of living in a close-knit, religiously conservative community in an isolated regional city.
