Career Counseling
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Career concerns are rarely just about resumes or job titles—they’re often tied to identity, burnout, values, financial pressure, and the reality of navigating workplaces that may not feel aligned or supportive. Many people come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed by options, or questioning whether the path they’ve been on actually fits who they are anymore. Others are dealing with toxic work environments, workplace trauma, discrimination, or the quiet exhaustion of trying to keep up in systems that don’t leave much room to breathe. Cultural expectations around career choices can add another layer, shaping what feels possible, acceptable, or “successful,” even when it doesn’t align with who you are.
At Nour Counseling, we take a more holistic approach to career counseling. We work with you to clarify what matters to you—not just what looks good on paper—and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck or disconnected. From there, we build practical next steps that feel realistic for your life, whether that’s setting boundaries at work, navigating a transition, exploring new directions, or making sense of competing responsibilities. We also make space for the cultural and systemic factors shaping your experience, including how identity, access, and workplace dynamics impact your options. This is about helping you move toward work that feels more aligned, sustainable, and reflective of who you are—not just what’s expected of you.

Career Counseling
Hutch Wheless
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTA
I approach career counseling through an existential and values-driven lens, helping you clarify what truly matters and how your work aligns with your identity, beliefs, and sense of purpose. Rather than focusing only on external outcomes, we explore questions around meaning, direction, and fulfillment to guide more intentional decisions. Together, we identify internal conflicts, limiting narratives, and pressures that may be keeping you stuck, and work to create a path that feels both authentic and sustainable. The goal is to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a stronger connection to what you value most.

Career Counseling
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Sometimes success on paper doesn’t match how you feel inside. You’ve worked hard, stayed focused, and built a career that others admire—but now, something feels off. Maybe you’re burned out, questioning whether your work still aligns with who you are, or facing a turning point you didn’t see coming. Dr. Jenny Shields specializes in helping high-achieving professionals who find themselves at a crossroads—caught between the life they’ve meticulously built and the quiet realization that it may no longer reflect what truly matters.
Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), values-based coaching, and her own lived experience navigating these same questions, Dr. Shields offers more than just strategies—she offers a space for radical honesty. A place to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the values and passions that once guided your life. Whether you’re navigating burnout, grief, a career disruption, or simply that unsettling sense of disconnection from yourself, Dr. Shields partners with you to chart a new path—one that feels not only successful but also meaningful and sustainable.
