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.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Trained in vocational psychology, I have specific expertise in psychotherapy focused on the psychological dimensions of work and career. I help clients explore their interests, values, and fit; gain insight into career-related emotions, thoughts, and patterns; address burnout and work-life balance; and consider questions of meaning, identity, and fulfillment in work. I also support clients through consequential points in their working lives, including major decisions, career changes and pivots, workplace transitions, career shocks, layoffs and unemployment, and the transition to retirement. Throughout this work, we consider how career concerns connect with your mental health, relationships, values, identity, and life as a whole.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Our careers are not static, but ever-changing. Sometimes we find ourselves at a cross-roads and we aren't sure whether or not to make a big career change. Other times we are really happy in our careers but are struggling interpersonally with supervisors or co-workers. We spend so much time at work that if it isn't a healthy environment for us, it can lead to burnout and stress. By learning new strategies and coping skills, you can feel more balanced and fulfilled at work.

Topeka is Kansas's state capital and a city with an unusually significant mental health history—the Menninger Clinic, for decades one of the world's leading psychiatric institutions, was founded and based in Topeka before relocating to Houston in 2003, leaving a legacy of mental health awareness and professional expertise that still influences the community. The city is also historically significant as the location of the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court desegregation case, and the ongoing work of racial equity remains an important dimension of community life and mental health context. Stormont Vail Health provides behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves Topeka's mix of government, legal, and healthcare workers alongside the broader population. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, racial justice and identity, economic stress in a mid-size state capital, and the particular challenges of a community working to reimagine its future.
