Career Counseling and Coaching in Tuckahoe, New York.

Level Up: Maybe you’ve actually been thinking of taking the next steps in your life. Whether it’s more job fulfillment, thoughts of leveling up in your career, as a parent, teen, young adult, or senior and wondering about the future…this is a great time to begin to work on those goals! Through motivational work and looking at your strengths, and building skills, you might just be surprised where you might be able to go with your perseverance and skills!

A career is often a major part of one's life, and finding a disconnect between what you do and your values or interests can be destabilizing and painful. I offer in depth discussions on values, interests, work/life balance goals, and lifestyle goals in order to find a career that aligns. All are unique and important components that need to be considered when determining a job switch or addition. It's a big life change and emotional support in therapy throughout the change is incredibly important as well.

I can help you articulate your professional goals and chart a course to have a happier and healthier worklife (and work-life balance!). A lot of clients come to me for help with job stress. We'll start with a thorough history of your career--what you studied, what you love to do, what energizes you, and where you want to go. We'll articulate options, from books to networking habits to bravely applying. I can help you learn methods to manage up and relate differently in your current role and company too. Reach out anytime.

In my approach to career counseling, I focus on the mental health aspects of professional growth, helping clients gain clarity about their goals, strengths, and passions. Rather than offering technical assistance like resume building, I prioritize deeper self-exploration through personalized assessments and in-depth discussions. Together, we explore career options, skill development, and strategies to overcome emotional or mental challenges that may hinder professional success. Clients benefit by gaining confidence, creating actionable plans, and aligning their career paths with their personal values and long-term aspirations.

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.

It’s not a goal to be the best. It’s not a strategy to be the best. It’s not a desire to be the best that's important t’s an understanding of what you can be the best at. Would you like to find out? This is a 12 week program where we develop what career you want and what you need to do to get there. It is goal oriented where you will be coached in gaining clarity and taking action.

Choosing a career is one of the biggest decisions we make in our lives. The world is wide open. There are many possibilities, sometimes causing more overwhelm than expected. Im here to help you navigate the process of exploring possibilities, while creating a reasonable, individualized plan of action to help you get clarity and move forward with the next right step in your path of confidently choosing a meaningful career you can succeed in.

Having worked as an employment specialist, I consider myself an expert in all types of career counseling. While not a "head hunter", I have amassed a wealth of information as to how job search, obtain an interview, execute a successful interview and maintain a position. I have worked extensively with the N.Y. State Education Dept. (Access-vr) to assist clients with mental health disabilities to succeed as individuals and valued employees. Partnering with employers and on the job coaching has been the key to my success. My belief is that everyone can work and that it can be a process but can change someone's life.

Career Counseling will look like life coaching in sessions using an individualized plan to formulate goals, identify strengths, discuss interests and using a guide to assist in career development, and insights will be discovered in how to better gain a sense of fulfillment at work. Learning ways to find a job, build connections, and become employable will also take place.

If you are afraid of failure, stuck in a job, or unwilling to do what it takes to land your dream job then REBT can help you to overcome your career related problems. REBT shows you how to change so that you can take a calculated risk and leave a job which is not for you. REBT can help you develop the discipline needed to stick with your pursuit of your dream job. All people want to be successful but sometimes they are unwilling to do what it takes to be successful. REBT shows you how to develop the internal strength and tenacity required for a successful career.

Many clients benefit from Vocational or Career Counseling. Often they do not know career goals or stuck in their present job. Chris Colasuonno has an Master in Business Degree and vast experience providing Career Counseling and Vocational Training. As a Life Coach, many skills transfer over to Career Counseling where we analyze your goals and job path. Chris has counseled many individuals in the Putnam and Westchester County area.

I don't do formal career counseling, but enjoy counseling entrepreneurs, business men and women, and performing artists. We would help you develop better assertiveness skills, clarify direction, improve motivation, encourage and guide you in negotiating higher salaries and rates, and cope with job/career crisis and change. I have worked with many people who lost their jobs in the current economic downturn. I also have a specialty working with performing artists to help them find satisfying jobs that allow them to pursue their art, and work with them on stage fright, creative blocks, and balancing relationship/work.
