Career Counselling and Coaching in Lakeshore, Ontario.

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain a sense of purpose and direction, overcoming barriers to making meaningful progress in their professional life. Gaining a sense of control over one's life allows for increased confidence and self-esteem. I help clients build the motivation necessary to take steps toward a future filled with passion, thriving, and mental resilliance.

There can be a lot of pressure to figure out one’s career or to decide where one fits within a particular field. Oftentimes this is a winding road rather than a straight route. Within therapy, I will support you in identifying and exploring the values, goals, interests, and passions most important to you so that you can make decisions about your career that feel right to you. I will also work with you to process possible obstacles along the way such as (and certainly not limited to) challenging work dynamics, stress and burnout, and difficulties finding a work/life balance. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

At times it is possible that People find themselves in a juncture in their lives where they have to chose a new career path.

In addition, when the choice for a new career path is not the client's choice, having a therapist to help people process the loss can be healing and a necessary part of moving forward.

Successful careers require the same attention and understanding you put into a successful relationship. If you are being overlooked or bullied at work, it can feel like your value as a person is being dismissed. There are strategies for identifying what you wish to achieve in your career and practical steps to get there. These strategies not only provide a roadmap for your career but also offer a sense of hope and inspiration, showing that growth and development are always within your reach. Don't give up on yourself or the possibility of finding a way to achieve your goals. We spend so much time making sense of the work environment that it can sometimes feel overwhelming. It's not.

Most people's lives revolve around their work and other important roles they play, such as being a parent, a provider...etc. Therefore, work is a central part of your life and makes up a big part of who you are. When you are dissatisfied with your work, it can negatively affect other parts of your life, such as your health, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing. Because work and the rest of you and your life are so inextricably linked, our work will centre on teasing apart these delicate and complicated threads so that you can begin to explore and understand your work and yourself. In doing so, you can gain clarity and begin to set feasible goals to move towards a more desired outcome.

Uncovering our vocational callings can be a demanding journey, especially when faced with self-doubt, low self-esteem, and negative self-talk that impede our realization of full potential. At Atlas Therapy, we assist clients in uncovering their authentic selves, articulating aspirations, acknowledging strengths and values, and embracing personal growth to evolve into their best selves. Armed with this clarity, they can confidently pursue and attain their ultimate goals.
