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.

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.

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.
