Burnt out? Want a career change? Unsure of how to get that promotion? Stressed, but unsure of what to do next?

As a former animal control officer and shelter worker, I understand the emotional, mental, and physical toll that working with animals can take. Compassion fatigue is common among shelter staff and volunteers, rescue workers, veterinarians, and others who work in the animal welfare field. Having been on the front lines myself, I can identify with your struggles and can help you learn healthy coping skills and effective self-care strategies to improve your compassion satisfaction and prevent burnout.

We have several therapists who are Licensed Professional Counselors and trained to work with career issues. We can offer career focused testing as well as counseling.

Especially in the Detroit area, people are often faced with a sudden change of plans when it comes to careers. Whether they've lost jobs due to downsizing, their job as it used to be no longer exists, or they're looking for something more fulfilling by choice, it's helpful to have an objective partner in the process. I use personality profiles along with clients' experience and skills to help them to determine where they might best fit. I also do a lot of coaching when necessary about preparing for interviews and being a valuable employee.

My goal is to develop a therapeutic partnership with clients that builds on a strengths-based relationship, helping to restore the connection between the body and mind in order to have a more balanced life, and strength the tools and skills needed to reach and actualize higher potentionals. I provide a variety of helping services and treatment modalities to help clients move forward in life.

As a former company president/owner of a large enterprise and later, executive coach, now psychologist, I am deeply skilled and experienced in assisting people in business and career. My orientation through all of my business tenure was more focused on the people, rather than product side of the business. This orientation led to psychology. Thus, I am uniquely suited to assisting you in career counseling/coaching.

Are you in the right career? If the answer is no you are probably like many people in the work force - unhappy. Too often individuals are letting work identify them, rather than picking out WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IN LIFE. Testing on what one is suited to do can usually be accomplished on a college level. When one spends most of their waking hours on a job or in a profession - being in the right place is important.

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.

Although I am not a specific Career Counselor, I work often with clients (and outside Career Counselors) on establishing things like "who they really are", and "what they really want from life". I've found that those who have Career issues also have issues around their identity and self worth. I help them understand how the "World of Work Map" is used and what it means for them. I help them move from expectations on their life to what they might want to do with their life. Come on in and let me give you a free consultation of what I have to offer!!!

Career counseling can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Maybe you're not happy at your current job because you think your boss is treating you unfairly or maybe your actual work is boring and unfulfilling. Maybe you're not sure what you want to do and you need to explore your options before committing yourself to a career. Or perhaps you've been doing the same work for years already and are ready for a change. In any case, what you can use is someone who will listen to you without judgment and who will steer you towards the resources you need. I would love to help you meet all of your career goals and am waiting for your call.
