Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
I provide career counseling for adults who feel stuck, uncertain, or dissatisfied in their professional lives, including those navigating career transitions, burnout, or high-pressure work environments. Many clients are capable and motivated yet struggle with self-doubt, decision paralysis, or fear of making the “wrong” choice. My approach integrates practical decision-making support with exploration of values, identity, and emotional patterns, helping clients gain clarity, confidence, and direction in their careers.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
Specifically for activists, scholars, and "Deep-Sea Divers," my version of Career Counseling focuses on navigating institutional burnout and academic "head trash." We use your 2026 liberation goals to determine if your current work aligns with your prophetic calling. I help you build a professional life that sustains your soul rather than just your bank account.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, SMF, MPIA, MA, MSW, LCSW
It is important to pay attention to and follow what excites us. When we ignore what (in the professional realm) excites us, we inevitably become lost.

Amherst is a suburban town of Buffalo and home to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, one of the largest universities in the State University of New York system, bringing a substantial student population and the mental health demands that come with a large public research university. The town's generally affluent suburban character contrasts with the significant challenges faced by neighboring Buffalo, and many residents access mental health services in the broader Buffalo metro area alongside local providers. UB's counseling services are a primary resource for students, and a private therapy sector serves Amherst's established families and professional residents. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity development stress at a large research university, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the transitional challenges of navigating life in a prosperous suburb adjacent to a struggling urban center.
