Career Counseling and Coaching in Crofton, Maryland.

Are you growing bored, unappreciated or frustrated at work? A person's God-given temperament should always be considered when determining a career path. An assessment will be administered to assist in career/occupational guidance. This assessment will aid in understanding and identifying an individual's strengths, weaknesses, stressors, intellectual energies, decision making skills, and the desire to take on responsibilities. Based on the results of the assessment, and with my guidance, the client will become more aware of careers and/or jobs which may, or may not, serve them well in the areas of emotional and mental stimulation and satisfaction.

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.

Having done a great deal of college career counseling and being in the business field much of my life, this area comes natural to me. I really enjoy coaching, asking the sixty-four dollar questions. And then discussing those hard areas that are commonly missed. Also I enjoy getting you ready for the changes and/or... Much of career counseling misses the simple points, because one is looking for the technical and the "finer" book concepts that many are taught. Be cool and calm.

Many of my clients struggle with figuring out how work fits into their lives. While I rarely do formalized assessments, I often work with clients to figure out what kind of work or vocation fits with their values and how they might pursue it. I personally believe that one's choice of work is very important, and it helps sometimes to talk to someone else openly about it, no matter the circumstance.

It can be very hard to find exactly what you want to do in life. Uncovering one's purpose, though supposedly intuitive, can be elusive and transitive. What's more, messages from friends, family and society can add to the confusion. You may feel like you know what you are doing right now is not quite right, but you are not sure what is the next step. Or the thing you love to do does not fit with other dreams you have for your life. Working together we will unpack the complex pieces of career and purpose, allowing you greater freedom and clarity from which to make decisions. You do not have to know right now what is next, only that you wish things to be different.

Having been an attorney and become a clinical psychologist, I am personally and professionally interested in the area of career development and change. I find clients benefit greatly by examining their current situation, hard and soft skills, options available, and goals in the short, medium, or long term. I do not do formal vocational testing (often vary beneficial for students looking for direction) but work with adults who want to think through the process of career change and understand what may keep them from working in their field of choice.

You might be dealing with a loss of career direction, feeling stuck and unsatisfied in your job situation, or an outright career “crisis” with anxiety provoking changes. In all of these situations you can benefit from career counseling with a licensed professional counselor who also has over 20 years of human resources management experience in various types of organizations. Developing a collaborative alliance with a professional counselor who offers this dual perspective (managing both the internal emotional/cognitive factors and the external work and market place realities) can enhance your ability to make thoughtful, strategic decisions with meaningful progress towards your career goals.
