Career Counseling and Coaching in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade in the corporate world as a human resources executive. This experience has given me a unique understanding of what employers are looking for, and how you can best prepare yourself for the job market. I can also help you identify your personal strengths and interests, if you're trying to decide what direction to go with your career, or if you're considering a career change.

Jobs are where we spend the majority of our time. We want that space to be healthy and supportive. we need it to balance with our life outside of work. Careers are the thing that lets us do our passions. We should think not only about being a good employee but having an employer that is good for us. We work on understanding our needs, boundaries and styles and how to communicate this to others. Its about relationship with ourself and then others.

Career counseling can be beneficial for someone of any age but it may be especially helpful for adolescents and young adults who are struggling to find a career path. I have helped individuals explore their interests regarding their career goals as well as provide questionnaires and other helpful materials that are geared toward getting someone to explore career options and take steps to pursue their career goals.

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.
