Career Counseling and Coaching in Bogota, New Jersey.

Earning a living is a major part of our lives; ideally it should be fulfilling as well as providing for material needs. If you are unhappy in your work life, there are many approaches and choices that can radically improve it. Sometimes it is a matter of altering attitude and motivation so that you exude energy not resignation. Transitioning to a new position of responsibility can call for flexibility in modifying work habits, and handling interpersonal relationships. Engineering a career change is more possible than most of us realize, but there are intimidating challenges. Recognizing when one is in a dead end is occasionally necessary; especially if you've invested years of effort.

Finding a satisfying career or profession is one of life’s major and most important challenges. Deciding how to direct ourselves, and what qualities we want from our work, involves knowing what we value and how our values are expressed in what we do. Not incidentally, we also need to be able to support ourselves and those dependent on us financially without depleting our vitality. Career counseling with me explores these issues in light of your education and life experience. We also evaluate your hopes, desires and skills in terms of what is practical, given the social and economic realities of your life. Resulting personal discoveries can lead to appropriate choices with potential for growth....

Satisfaction with your career is critical. Many people spend the majority of their waking hours at their jobs. Therefore, my career counseling goals are to enable you to not only perform adequately at your job, but to identify your passions and provide you with tools that will help you achieve your full potential. This involves a detailed analysis of your strengths and weaknesses so that you can develop a comprehensive understanding of how to optimally implement your professional skills.

As a psychotherapist, I can help you make decisions about your career life. The difference between a career coach and a psychotherapist is that I will help you understand the underlying emotional needs you have and in what ways they are driving your career path in one direction or another. To make a change in career is to acknowledge that there might be conflicting needs for personal stability, adventure, and financial security. Two fundamental questions I will help you answer is "Why do I want to change careers?" and "Why now?"

I help my clients learn how to manifest their hearts desire through their career. You can learn how to connect to your passions and what brings you joy in life. Once you are aware of your deepest desires then you can make career choices that feel satisfying, meaningful and rewarding. This process starts with learning to feel your feelings and take responsibility for them and then taking loving actions for yourself to find a career that you love.

Are you feeling stuck in your job? Do you have a boss who you cannot tolerate? Are your co-workers irritating you on a daily basis? Do you need a change? Whatever the issues you are experiencing, therapy can help you gain a better understanding of them and together we can work toward the goal you want to reach.

For a variety of reasons, one may not have selected a career path. It takes time to explore various options thru experiences, interviews, career assessments looking into one's: Values, Personality, Interests, Skills, Intellect, Cultural background and current/future Opportunities. A variety of assessment and explorations can help the career selection and preparation process.

Various internal conflict underlie career problems. Often counselors give advice to those who come to them for career counseling, but I stay away from advice. Giving clients advice only keeps them dependent on you. Instead, I focus on the underlying conflicts that are related to low self-esteem, fear of competing or an inability to assert themselves. Often women have their own kind of conflicts about being a woman in a man's world, and internal resentments hold them back. My approach is to focus on the conflicts of each client and help them resolve them and cope more effectively. The approach has proven over the years to be quite successful.

We know being satisfied at work is not just about productivity and competency. You may be great at what you do. You may be very successful by every external metric. Or maybe you aren't motivated or aren't stimulated by what you do. You have to find a way to navigate your current position or find a new one that is satisfying and fulfulling. We help clients clarify their values and identify beliefs and behavioral patterns that have interfered with taking the risks necessary to be professionally fulfilled. Your work life is certainly about financial security, but it can do more than put food on the table. It can feed you intellectually, interpersonally, and emotionally.

Sometimes, when we are ready to make a change, whether it be leaving a job, working towards a promotion, or even changing career paths entirely, we struggle to make a move we know may benefit us best in the long run.

Many times we have to manage the fear and anxiety associated with change, I can help you to not only overcome this fear, but create a plan to meet your goals.
