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.

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.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Unhealed core wounds can instigate an anxiety-driven "perfection plan" for happiness that you hope will compensate for your deepest fears about yourself. Negative core wound identities sound like this: I am not good enough. I am not important. I am flawed. I am not worthy. I am not valued. I don’t deserve love. I am not acceptable the way I am. I am too different. I don’t belong. I am not worthy of love. I am a burden. I am weird. I am a loser. I am not wanted. I am inadequate. I am powerless. I am unlovable. I am alone.
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.

Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Perfectionism is not about high standards. It is about self-worth becoming dependent on performance, productivity, and getting things “right.” It often leads to burnout, procrastination, and a constant feeling of never doing enough.
Our work focuses on breaking the cycle of overperformance and self-pressure, helping you build a more sustainable way of functioning that does not require constant self-sacrifice.

Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Big changes—starting high school or college, changing schools, moving, or figuring out what comes next—can bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. Even positive transitions can feel overwhelming. I help teens and young adults navigate these shifts with more clarity and confidence, building coping skills, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction so you can move forward feeling more grounded.
