Career Counseling and Coaching in Oildale, California.

Career exploration is a life long process and it is helpful to have guidance and feedback on this journey. I will work with you to identify what it is you want out of a career and together we can work on a plan to meet your identified goals. This is done by aptitude testing, educational skills testing, and researching what fields most interest you.

Who benefits from career counselling? You might be a student looking for direction or a person considering a career change. You may also be looking to delve deep and assess your talents, skills, interests, personality or learning style. Learning more about who you are and how you want to spend the next decades of your life are all considerations in career counselling. Assessment tools can be very helpful in making informed career choices and developing a personalized career path but are best utilized along with an experienced counsellor. Psychotherapeutic tools such as EFT and Mindfulness Based approaches can provide depths of understanding one's self.

Career Counseling is about change. Whether you are changing a career position you have held for years or choosing a major, the core of career counseling is preparation and understanding your goals and how they affect your life as a whole. In my practice I do not address this topic with assessments or aptitude tests as I believe the client is the best source of information. We will examine your work history and interests and examine reasons to make a change at this time in your life. Together we will evaluate your level of risk taking, strengths, relationships, education, approaches to pursue new career or changes within your current field, stress management, and pursuit of your overall goals

Wether its loosing interest in your current work or being chronically stressed in a career you love, professional challenges can penetrate to your core identity and sense of worthiness. Through the therapy process, I will guide you through identification of your wants and needs, support you in learning how to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue, help build new habits that sustain motivation, and work with you through the emotional blocks that keep you from taking action on important career decisions. You can find a sense of contentment about your professional life and therapy can get you there. Call or email today to further discuss your career stressors and my therapy approach.

Lacking a sense of direction and purpose? Transitioning careers or feel stuck and potentially lost with what's next. I can provide support and guidance along the way utilizing therapeutic strategies as well as coaching. I am also a certified life coach and will utilize tools specific towards examining your strengths and skill set and integrate multiple stratigies to increase clarity towards a career aligned with your values and beliefs.

Work is an enormously important part of our lives. As is often said, we spend more hours of our lives at work than anywhere else. So making that work as good as it can be is vitally important to our health, sanity, and general well-being. Yet that, like so many things, can be easier said than done. I can help you explore your upbringing and education, your personal values, needs, and desires, along with ambitions and fears to help you find and succeed along a well-chosen professional path. This kind of support and guidance is just as important for someone just embarking on a career as it is for someone well along the path. It's never too late to take control of your direction.

While most career counselors love to give you capacity based profiles of what your talents and interests are for your best bet career choices, Grey Matters international believes that most people make predictably irrational decisions and then after making them learn way to make them fit into their identities using various types of rationalizations and strategies. We are able to assist folks in career counseling type settings by giving a deeper look at their decision making profile so they can better understand where the core frustration or desire is coming from in the world of work.
