Career Counselling and Coaching in Milton, Ontario.

My approach to career counseling is not about personality tests or resume tips. It’s about helping clients navigate the deeper questions that arise when work feels disconnected from identity, purpose, or vitality. Often, career distress signals a deeper misalignment — between the life one has built and the person one is becoming. Together, we explore how attachment patterns, self-worth, relational dynamics, and existential concerns shape how you show up in your professional life. This is not about finding the perfect job — it’s about restoring right relationship with meaning, agency, and the kind of work that supports who you are becoming.

Even the thought of building a career can feel overwhelming and it can be difficult to know where to start. While I do not offer support regarding career counselling, at Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we have therapists who are available to offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if they are the right fit for your journey.

I am passioante about supporting individuals in exploring their experience of burnout from hustle culture and managing the invisible mental load. I also help folks unpack and explore the impact that systems of oppression (patriarchy and capitalism) have had on one's identity, lived experiences and internalised messages of not enough. Together lets work to dismantle these systems of oppression.

According to one study, about 75% of the population feels stuck in a job that they find unsatisfying. It does not have to be that way!

Dr. Strauss offers career counseling through New Leaf Psychology Centre. In order to facilitate decision making, sessions will first assess your current skills, assets and interests. Your level of fulfillment at your current place of work, and obstacles to fulfillment will also be discussed. Potential career changes will be reviewed, with the goal of helping you come to a decision that you are comfortable with.

Navigating our careers can be challenging and confusing. This process can become overwhelming, but with the help of a professional who is both compassionate and impartial, things can become more clear. Together we can explore areas of possibility for your future, and also work towards identifying and overcoming the emotional barriers that might get in the way of you reaching your career goals. Combining coaching techniques, with therapeutic techniques to regulate emotions, we can explore your professional aspirations and set out manageable steps to move towards them.

A career is more than just a way to pay the bills. Every person spends most of their life in their careers and the career satisfaction/non-satisfaction spills over to the person’s personal life, too. However, there are many variables that can lead to career dissatisfaction. It can be the environment, interpersonal relationships, the skills and talents required for the job, and ultimately the person’s view of the job. A successful career counselling helps the client to take a closer look at these variables and to tackle the issues that lead to an unhealthy career life. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

You are the only one that knows which career choice will be right for you. However, sometimes it can be hard to tune into your own intuition, especially within the mix of what you want, what you need and what others think. My role in therapy is to help you untangle all these knots and empower you to make a decision that you feel is your own. This may involve collaborating to understand what your intrinsic values are, how you define success and what needs are important for you to fulfill. Call today so we can find a path you can call your own!
