Career Counseling and Coaching in Mokena, Illinois.

Life happens. Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where a change of employment may be necessary. Whether it is an expected transition or the result of unforeseen circumstances, change is difficult and can cause stress related illness. We can assist with making the transition less stressful. Life can be fulfilling and balanced, relationships can be honest and satisfying. Old wounds can heal, self-control can be gained, happiness can be experienced and personal change is attainable. Invest in yourself and be the person you want to be.

It is hard feeling like you are stuck in a career or like you do not know what to do career-wise. Sometimes, imposter syndrome gets the best of us and thus leads us to self-sabotage. Then, we find ourselves experiencing missed opportunities, regret, angst, and pain. We often ask challenging questions in therapy, so that you can explore and determine whether you want to stay, leave, or grow where you are at (or somewhere else). We explore your potential together and imagine what a healthier situation may look like to you.

Sometimes you need help getting started on a career path. Sometimes there is a change, wanted or unwanted, and we need to look at a change in careers. Sometimes we are in a career that we like but feel like a piece is missing or we struggle with different aspects of our career or the people we work with. Most of us spend the majority of our lives in our careers, so seeking help in this area can lift a significant amount of stress. Therapy can help you address your career concerns, so that you can have a more enjoyable career experience.

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.

My psychotherapy approach extends seamlessly to career counseling, providing a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploring professional goals and challenges.
