Career counseling can be a valuable tool for individuals looking to navigate the often-complex world of work and find career fulfillment. As a therapist, I understand that finding the right career path can be a difficult and challenging process, and my goal is to support you in finding a career that aligns with your values, strengths, and passions.
Together, we will explore your interests, skills, and values, and develop a personalized career plan that takes into account your unique strengths and aspirations. We will also work to identify and overcome any obstacles that may be hindering your career progress, such as self-doubt or a lack of direction. We will use techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices to help you develop a growth mindset, overcome limiting beliefs and increase self-awareness about your own strengths and passions.
Whether you're looking to make a career change, advance in your current field, or simply gain a better understanding of your career goals, I am here to support you. My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your career path and to help you find a fulfilling and meaningful career that aligns with your values and aspirations. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today and let's start this journey together.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
The entertainment industry is a particularly challenging business to navigate and thrive in. The intense competitiveness and the premium placed on notoriety, fame and money contribute to feelings of depression, anxiety and low self-worth. In my previous career, I worked as an agent and subsequently an agency owner. This experience has given me the insight to deeply understand the constant pressure we put on ourselves to be “successful” for the sake of external validation and financial gain despite our mental well-being. I know what it’s like to achieve a version of “success” that was supposed to make me happy but, in fact, left me miserable and purposeless. If you find that you are getting in the way of your own growth because of the intensity and ruthlessness of the entertainment industry, we can work to identify what is at play and help you find the right path for you. Together we will redefine your definition of success and how that can be implemented to take your career to the next level.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Career concerns are often about more than work—they can reflect identity, meaning, ambition, fear of failure, or feeling stuck in old patterns. In therapy, we explore what work represents for you, what’s keeping you trapped, and how to move toward a path that feels more fulfilling and sustainable.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
In addition to hypnotherapy, I'm also a trained coach and have had several coaching clients, helping them have the confidence to move forward, eliminate mental blocks to achieving success, enabling them to be more comfortable and confident stepping into leadership roles, speaking in front of groups. I had one particular client who feared being in the presence of someone prominent in her field, someone who she needed to see at conferences, who she would have to deal with to move ahead in her business. Up until coming to me, she would be so triggered by his presence she couldn't function at all. After one session and me providing her with a custom tailored hypnosis MP3 for building confidence, she no longer feared him, in fact his presence no longer had any effect on her whatsoever and her business has taken off. She recently confided in me that she still listens to her MP3 regualrly to give her a boost and she refers many clients to me. For most of my life I have been an artist and teacher and so creativity is a particular interest of mine and so I have helped many artists, writers, musicians, and business people engage with their creative selves and break through blocks.

Career Counseling & Life Purpose: Feeling lost, stuck, burned out, or uncertain about your next step can leave you questioning your direction and purpose.

This work is about moving beyond survival and creating a life that reflects who you truly are and what matters most to you.

Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Career dissatisfaction can show up as burnout from chronic stress, a lingering sense of emptiness or lack of fulfillment, or simply a feeling that you’re ready for a new and more meaningful chapter in your life.
I know this experience personally. Before becoming a therapist, I spent four years working as an engineer at a tech startup, often putting in 50–60 hour weeks. Over time, I became increasingly stressed and disconnected from my sense of purpose. What I later came to understand was that my work was misaligned with my values, strengths, and the life I wanted to be living. Making a major career change taught me firsthand what it takes to move through uncertainty and arrive at a place of greater balance and fulfillment.
In our work together, I help you gain a deep understanding of your interests, talents, values, dreams, and financial goals, while exploring career paths that truly fit your life. Not everyone needs to make a big career change, and sometimes fulfillment comes from a shift in perspective, boundaries, or how you show up in your current role. Together, we’ll clarify what kind of change is actually needed.
I believe that each person has a meaningful role to play in the world, and I would be honored to help you discover where you fit and how to move forward with clarity, purpose, and confidence.

Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Our careers can sometimes be so intertwined with our identities that when we are no longer fulfilled by them, or find ourselves at a crossroads, it can be terrifying and disorienting. I have been through a big career change myself, and intimately know the flood of emotions that comes along with it. There is also a lot of job uncertainty with the increasing popularity of AI, and as someone who used to work in tech for 20 years, I understand how big of a threat it poses on many different levels. Let's work together to find out where you go from here.
