Career Counseling and Coaching in Berkshire, New York.

Careers are integral to the identities of many people, while for others careers are simply means for attaining a happy life. Whether you’re developing your first career or looking to switch careers, I use a combination of assessment batteries and counseling to explore my clients’ goals, preferences, and aptitudes to identify their career path and develop a plan for achieving it.

Career counseling addresses the client’s lifestyle as a whole. It does not just include a person’s job, but it also includes other aspects of a person’s life such as other roles this person may take on. Career counseling is not meant for the therapist to direct the client to a certain career. It is about exploring different traits and values of the individual which in turn can help the client decide on their career path. Career development is a lifelong process and includes not just career decisions but other life decisions as well. Career counseling gives you the skills and knowledge to make future decisions regarding your career.

Career counseling can be interwoven with therapy. Throughout the life cycle, people shift through many roles. Client-centered counseling, CBT, and mindfulness-based practices found in therapy help to re-connect a person to their sense of self and regain enthusiasm about the new chapter waiting to be written. Looking forward to helping you meet your career goals while balancing your mental health!
