Career Counseling and Coaching in Mission Bend, Texas.

Careers are integral to the identities of many people, while for others careers are simply means for attaining a happy life. Whether you’re developing your first career or looking to switch careers, I use a combination of assessment batteries and counseling to explore my clients’ goals, preferences, and aptitudes to identify their career path and develop a plan for achieving it.

My approach is centered on helping clients discover and pursue meaningful and fulfilling career paths. I believe in a client-centered and holistic approach that takes into account an individual's unique strengths, values, interests, and goals. Through one-on-one sessions, clients will benefit from personalized assessments, guidance in exploring various career options, and developing effective strategies for career advancement or transition. I provide a supportive and empowering environment where clients can gain clarity about their career aspirations and make informed decisions.

Are you fulfilling your purpose or are you not living into your potential? Do you wake up thinking "I was made for this" when it comes to career or do you struggle to get motivated for what lies ahead. Career satisfaction is highly correlated with life-satisfaction. Careers matter beyond how we generate an income. Learn to unblock where you are being held back. Learn the skills essential to make that next career move. Develop leadership skills to grow your company. Identify places you or your company need to make changes for your health and well-being or that of your employees. When we are happy and feel cared for at work, our productivity increases and so does our life satisfaction.

Are you a high-achieving man looking for career guidance? Executive coaching has its place, but I provide something different. I don’t give you advice, give you homework, or try to motivate you. Instead, like an emotional surgeon, I use research-proven EMDR therapy to uncover the emotional barriers and insecurities that hold you back and heal them at their source. If you’re a hard-working man on the verge of greatness, this can be the step necessary for personal and professional breakthrough. If you’re a highly successful man who's already conquered your professional goals, this process can help you recalibrate your priorities, strengthen your relationships, and leave a lasting legacy.

Sometimes in life we decide that we need to make some changes in our life direction. This may include changing careers. This decision is not limited to young adults in their early 20’s. This can happen at any age and during any life cycle transition. I work with clients trying to define and clarify their life’s direction and career goals to help them reach their full potential. I can help you navigate this process so that you feel less overwhelmed and stressed while redefining your chosen path.

If you are not happy with your career or are unsure of what direction to take in your career, we can help! Our career counselors have extensive experience in assessing your unique personality and strengths and how to maximize those in a rewarding career. We've also worked with numerous employers and understand what employers are looking for and how you can leverage your strengths for the position you desire. We are passionate about helping people achieve greater work and life satisfaction whether starting in a career or making a career change. We offer career testing in addition to counseling to help you pinpoint your personal skills and strengths and make a successful career transition.

Life transitions are one of my specialties and career related issues tend to be one of the main components linked to major life transitions. Whether you are feeling stuck in your current career or you are looking to explore career options to improve your future I can help you in your journey. I will provide guidance, support, and encouragement for clients to explore and identify what you really want in regards to pursuing and or changing career path.

Whether it's choosing an initial career, a later-in--life career switch, managing interpersonal professional relationships or general job stress, Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers specialized career guidance and support. EMDR is also used to maximize professional performance potential including public speaking or business negotiations. We also offer treatment for PTSD specific to frontline health care workers including EMDR and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy under medical direction.

I work with high-demand professionals. My approach is centered on empowering clients to align their professional goals with their personal values, strengths, and aspirations. Through processing, exploration of interests, and reflection on past experiences, clients are empowered and clarity in meaningful career paths. I guide in setting achievable goals, developing effective job search strategies, and honing essential skills such as networking and interviewing. Additionally, I offer ongoing support as clients navigate transitions and challenges in their careers, ultimately helping them to find fulfillment and success with a clear roadmap to achieve their professional aspirations.

Career development is a process that can be greatly affected by a person’s self-esteem. Our family can influence how our self-concept developed. As we encounter new experiences, have various successes and failures during our development, our self-concept can change over the course of time. We work with people by helping them to explore how they arrived at their present situation, get in touch with their own priorities and values, and integrate these into their identity of which career is a part of as opposed to the end goal. People experience satisfaction if they are able to be in a career, experience relationships and enjoy leisure activities that are in harmony with their value system.

In career counseling, my approach is to help clients align their personal strengths, values, and passions with fulfilling career paths. Through self-exploration and goal-setting, I guide clients in identifying their unique skills and interests while addressing any barriers to career satisfaction. I incorporate practical tools such as skills assessments, job market exploration, and decision-making strategies, combined with a focus on personal growth and self-confidence. Whether clients are looking to change careers, advance in their current field, or navigate work-related challenges, I aim to empower them to make informed, purposeful career decisions that bring long-term fulfillment.

Whether you are entering the workforce for the first time, unemployed and looking for work, in between jobs, thinking of switching careers, or somewhere in-between, career counseling may work for you. As your counselor, you can expect career counseling to involve exploring job interests and strengths, learning to navigate employment databases, writing and revising your resume, practicing interview skills, and more.
