Career Counseling and Coaching in Bergenfield, New Jersey.

Various internal conflict underlie career problems. Often counselors give advice to those who come to them for career counseling, but I stay away from advice. Giving clients advice only keeps them dependent on you. Instead, I focus on the underlying conflicts that are related to low self-esteem, fear of competing or an inability to assert themselves. Often women have their own kind of conflicts about being a woman in a man's world, and internal resentments hold them back. My approach is to focus on the conflicts of each client and help them resolve them and cope more effectively. The approach has proven over the years to be quite successful.

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.

Adolescents is a time to set goals for the future. As a middle and high school counselor, I have taught college and career lessons, led parent informational nights, facilitated family meetings, and provided one-on-one counseling. As your teen's therapist, I will help them to identify their strengths, skills, and interests. From there, we will explore careers and possible majors or paths to that career. Once that is known, we will research the programs or colleges that will get your teen where they want to be. The process can be stressful, but also exciting! I will be there every step of the way. Together, we can help your teen achieve their post-secondary goals!
