Career Counseling and Coaching in Laureldale, Pennsylvania.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade in the corporate world as a human resources executive. This experience has given me a unique understanding of what employers are looking for, and how you can best prepare yourself for the job market. I can also help you identify your personal strengths and interests, if you're trying to decide what direction to go with your career, or if you're considering a career change.

In some cases, a person can be in a particular career and feel unsatisfied, or as if their potential is not being used to the full extent. It is possible that, with some focus on this issue, one can develop new career goals and feel more hopeful about their future, in terms of employment and career advancement. And, there are times that a person is having an underlying emotional issue, and that is affecting their career success; counseling and/or an evaluation can help to identify the issues.

Finding your career pathway is really about finding passion and the right fit. Exploration of career options is available to you. A number of our clients have career- related stressors. Sometimes a change of career is desired. We can help you look at the pros and cons of your job interests, and assist you with your decision-making skills. We will guide you through the process.

You might be dealing with a loss of career direction, feeling stuck and unsatisfied in your job situation, or an outright career “crisis” with anxiety provoking changes. In all of these situations you can benefit from career counseling with a licensed professional counselor who also has over 20 years of human resources management experience in various types of organizations. Developing a collaborative alliance with a professional counselor who offers this dual perspective (managing both the internal emotional/cognitive factors and the external work and market place realities) can enhance your ability to make thoughtful, strategic decisions with meaningful progress towards your career goals.

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.
