Dr. Strauss offers career counseling through New Leaf Psychology Centre. In order to facilitate decision making, sessions will first assess your current skills, assets and interests. Your level of fulfillment at your current place of work, and obstacles to fulfillment will also be discussed. Potential career changes will be reviewed, with the goal of helping you come to a decision that you are comfortable with.

So many people are locked into jobs that leach motivation out of them rather than empowering continued growth and capitalizing on a healthy level of engagement. In my work with careers, I often ask tough questions and expect serious consideration of all the alternatives available to you. We'll work to establish outcomes and put our heads together to map out a plan for you that will make the most of your transferable skills and career objectives. In a sense, my approach is a career focused form of life coaching that aims to keep you moving forward while you work to recognize what you really want for yourself and exactly how you are going to make that happen in the real world.

In our Career Coaching practice, we have found these 3 methods to be the most powerful when it comes to helping you discover your career roadmap - the right major, right talents or career. 1. Jackson Vocational Interest Survey (JVIS) is the "Career Roadmap" which will help you determine the best career fit. 2. CareerPlanner Personality Test (CPPT) is the "Personality Blueprint" which will highlight your talents, skills, strengths, weaknesses, interests and how they coincide with your career roadmap. 3. Jump Start Coaching Hour (JSCH) is the "Life Coach" who will guide you in the planning and implementing of the "Career Roadmap". All you need to do is make a small investment.

Those who have a specific career goal they desire will often face obstacles which may become frustrating and overwhelming. For instance, an individual’s current place in a career or even their career path may be unsatisfying and discouraging and very often this may lead to depression, anxiety and stress. Sometimes, there are difficulties finding a new path and at C. S. Counselling, guidance in any of these areas can provide direction to leading a more fulfilling life by investigating desirable alternatives.

My approach to helping clients in the area of work and career often relates to interpersonal problems in employment settings, difficulties managing work-life balance, and questions surrounding changing careers. Often clients come in with concerns around how to make changes to their employment situation, and they have various anxieties surrounding the risk that comes with making these life changes. In treatment, I help clients address their anxieties and fears, and we work together to seek solutions.

In our modern world, we spend a large part of our lives invested in some form of vocational pursuit. As such, I know how important it is for clients to find the right career choices to build a life upon. I help clients explore their natural talents, trained skills, and personality preferences in order to increase their awareness of their professional goals, while balancing intellectual, financial, and emotional needs so clients feel empowered and aligned in their pursuits.

You are the only one that knows which career choice will be right for you. However, sometimes it can be hard to tune into your own intuition, especially within the mix of what you want, what you need and what others think. My role in therapy is to help you untangle all these knots and empower you to make a decision that you feel is your own. This may involve collaborating to understand what your intrinsic values are, how you define success and what needs are important for you to fulfill. Call today so we can find a path you can call your own!

Being a trained Life Coach, I help clients identify their dreams, bent and natural gifts, so they can build careers which utilize their skill set. From there, I help them set SMART goals – i.e. Simple, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Time-focused – broken down into smaller goals, so they never get discouraged, plus they get to witness and celebrate their progress every step of the way. I believe in walking alongside the client in their journey to complete what they set out to do, tackling obstacles as they come – shyness, communication issues, confidence, etc. – so nothing will stop them!
