Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You’ve checked the boxes, followed the plan, and built a life that should feel satisfying—but something still feels off. Whether you're questioning your current career, feeling burned out, or wondering if it’s too late to pivot, you’re not alone. I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals and emerging adults navigate career confusion, misalignment, and the pressure to have it all figured out.
At The Momentum Practice, career counseling isn’t just about résumés and job titles—it’s about reconnecting with yourself and redefining what success actually means to you. Career concerns often run deeper than needing a new job. You may feel stuck, lost in self-doubt, or like you're quietly living out someone else’s story—but change is possible. Together, we’ll explore your values, strengths, fears, and options so you can make choices that feel both purposeful and aligned with who you really are.
We’ll work through the mental spin and emotional weight that often come with career uncertainty, and focus on helping you feel more confident, clear-headed, and grounded in your next step. I support clients through college-to-career transitions, work-life burnout, and brave pivots into entrepreneurship. Career indecision can be exhausting, isolating, and full of internal pressure—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. With over 15 years of experience, I bring insight, humor, and concrete tools to help you build a career that reflects who you are—not just who you’ve been trying to be. If you’re ready to feel less stuck and more certain of your direction, let’s talk. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I have training in various career identity development models which allow for an exploration into certain career paths that may better fit your strengths. That being said, through the pandemic we have had a huge evolution in what a career can look like. We can use this space to see what is and what is not working in your current career path, as well as to broach the existential question around how to live out your values in work/life balance.

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.

Lexington sits at the center of Kentucky's Bluegrass region with a character distinct from Louisville — the University of Kentucky drives a significant student and young professional population alongside a traditional agricultural and equestrian community. The city's proximity to Appalachia means therapists frequently encounter the mental health effects of the region's opioid crisis, intergenerational poverty, and community grief tied to economic decline. UK HealthCare — the University of Kentucky's academic medical system — provides institutional mental health resources, with private practices concentrated in Chevy Chase, Beaumont, and the Hamburg area. Lexington's horse industry also supports a niche clientele of equestrian athletes and industry professionals navigating performance pressure and career identity.
