We can administer and interpret a number of assessments including the "Strong Interest Inventory" and the "Myers Briggs Type Indicator."

Our employment counselors are passionate about helping clients find their strengths so that they can live their lives in a way that feels meaningful, intentional, and satisfying.
What Clients Are Saying:
"When I was at a critical turning point in my career, Nancy helped me to view my options and was an encouragement to me. She was able to identify what I enjoyed most about my work and showed me how I can structure my work with a focus on those activities. For the last seven years, I have been running my own business doing something I enjoy and I look back at this time with gratitude to her insight. Thank you, Nancy!"

I would like to get career guidance, but I still, have some concerns…
Isn’t career counseling expensive?
Career counseling is an investment in your life and happiness. We have packages available that make counseling affordable. Getting some career counseling/career coaching can actually help you in the long run by saving you time getting to a satisfying and well-paying job.
What can I do if I don’t have enough experience or want to switch careers?
We can help you position and market yourself so that you can show employers your transferable skills that fit the job you are applying for. Switching careers can be tricky, but it is actually more common than you think. Most people will change careers around 7 times in their lifetime. Having helped to make that pivot will get you where you want to be more quickly and smoothly.
I have no clue what I want to do; how can career counseling help?
There are a lot of good tools a career therapist can use to help you determine what career is a good fit. Your counselor will do a verbal assessment to learn more about your skills, abilities, interests, hobbies, and goals. This will give them a good idea of who you are and what might work for you. In addition, there are career tests you can take that will give us more information to point you in the right direction.
I have a secure job that I hate. What can I do about it?
It’s hard to leave a secure job, especially if it pays well. But ultimately if you are here, it’s probably because you are not happy. You spend most of your waking day working. Is it really worth it to stay somewhere that is not fulfilling? If you are ready to make a change, but don’t know how to do that, we have career professionals that can lead you through the process.
