Life can change in a flash. Transitions are not always expected. Job loss, chronic illness, death of a loved one, a pandemic - not to mention those we do plan, such as moving, empty nest, retirement, and others. We often try to avoid transitions because change can be hard. Even a positive change can cause feelings of loss, anxiety, overwhelmed and often leads to anxiety or depression. Those suffering from emotional instability, trauma & loss, or other life stressors causing mental health disturbance, acquiring new skills through tools and meeting goals, will allow for greater self-understanding, offering an enhanced quality of life.

I have found strong connection with mothers/fathers in postpartum, caregivers of young and old, women/hormone health, survivors of trauma, those grappling with chronic illness, loss of a loved one, career change, or loss of self-identity.
You are so very warmly welcomed into this space. Let's take a moment to recognize the time and effort you are already giving toward your health: by acknowledging the greater part of you that is asking for change and then taking the step forward in finding support to help you navigate what comes next. This is so hard. Time, circumstance, information overload, perhaps previous negative healthcare experiences, the human tendency to lean away from the unknown, all serve as reasons to stay in our old patterns. However, in having made it this far, the work toward healing has already begun for you. You have already started.

So let’s navigate challenges like depression, relationships, job changes, childhood memories, starting college athletics and perfectionism.
Stuck in your head? Do you overthink and overanalyze? Anxiety lies to us, telling us to plan, perform, critique, reject (and repeat). Fear preoccupies our minds with worst-case scenarios, while our insecurities steal our time, peace, and energy. Shame and overwhelm bottle up during the day, and insecurities haunt us at night. And despite your best efforts, you still feel unappreciated and unworthy. You just can’t seem to feel like you’re good enough. What if you could release control and embrace yourself and uncertainty—without feeling distressed! What if you could tell your anxiety to “get lost” and feel peace and joy again?

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
