It would be so difficult for me to let go of my shots to another person at this stage of my development. I see my shots in their final phase in my head before taking them. It would hurt so much to see someone change it.
Although my lack of experience probably shows here. I'm sure the huge production houses must have crazy talent...
Maybe i need a mentor.
I completely understand your preference to keep all images you create under your control, which is totally natural for most of us. Fact is though, a lot of photographers are not that great in post production (I'm one of the worst) and we must rely on people more skilled than ourselves to dig the the shots we all see in our heads, out of the digital files we've made. As did (do) the great photographers I've already mentioned above. The changes made are still under one's own direction : they just do things that we are unable to. It doesn't 'hurt' at all !  .. except maybe one's hip-pocket. 
I don't think you need a mentor - I think you're work is looking just fine as it is! Have you been formally trained though? How did you learn to pose your models so well?

I'm self taught. I learned by reading a few tutorials online and applied what i learned i guess. But the real educational tools for me are Vogue and Maxim. Victoria Secret's website is also one of my instructors lol. I learn my style from Vogue, and learn my poses from maxim. my lighting I mimic from various sources. It sounds weird, but I also try some of the poses out myself before showing the model. It gives me insight into the shot. I don't know any other photogs that do this.. but it's a result of me only working with amateurs and non-models. mostly girls i meet online that want sexy pictures of themselves.
