Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I believe choosing a career is about choosing what is most meaningful for you. Do you not know what your calling is? Let's discover it. Do you know what it is, but feel it's too hard to get there? Let's explore together. Sure, some of us need to balance our work choices with personal needs, family limitations, and more. But we can find a path that is exciting, satisfying, and in alignment with our heart. Career counseling isn't about taking questionnaires, although they may help illuminate interior responses. Career counseling is about finding your source of YES! and making it reality.

Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Career challenges often involve more than resumes or job strategies—they frequently stem from confidence issues, decision fatigue, fear of change, or internal blocks around identity and purpose. Hypnosis can help address the underlying mental and emotional patterns that influence career satisfaction, performance, and direction.
My approach to career-focused hypnosis is individualized and practical. Drawing on decades of real-world business and healthcare experience, including leadership, entrepreneurship, and executive decision-making, I tailor each session to the client’s specific goals and circumstances. Sessions may focus on increasing confidence, improving focus, overcoming procrastination, managing work-related stress, or clarifying next steps during periods of transition.
Clients often seek hypnosis during career changes, retirement transitions, leadership challenges, or when they feel stuck or uncertain about their professional path. Hypnosis provides a structured, supportive way to explore values, strengthen motivation, and develop a clearer sense of direction while remaining grounded and in control throughout the process.
Hypnosis is offered as a complementary, drug-free approach and is not a replacement for career coaching, psychotherapy, or professional advising. When appropriate, it can be used alongside other supports to help clients move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
I take a coaching approach to career counseling. My belief is that I am the expert on specific career development tools, and YOU are the expert on you. I defer to your expertise on you to help us discover the direction in which we will develop your career portfolio. Note: I didn't say career path. It is a rare thing that our way forward is straight or clear. Coaching offers a space to develop your skills, identify possibilities, and develop flexibility, resilience, and insight to take advantage of the right opportunity at the right time. Together we can explore your values, your strengths, your character, your growth orientation, and your definition of success to create a strategy for career growth.
