Client Comments

"Betsy is wonderful. I was feeling stuck in my career, and her knowledge and expertise were the antidote. She helped me broaden my scope and explore new possibilities that I hadn't considered before. More importantly, however, she helped me realize and embrace my inherent traits and skills and encouraged me to choose a career that complements them."

"I really enjoyed Betsy's open dialogue. She was incredible at identifying the true reason for my desire to switch careers. She helped me realize many things about myself as well as help break through many of the barriers that were causing me to be unhappy in my career and in my life. My anxiety about my professional life has dramatically decreased and my overall happiness increased. I highly recommend working with her!"

"I really enjoyed working with Betsy. I originally came to her because I was stuck in corporate sales and was looking for a more gratifying and fulfilling career. She helped me really nail down a career that both fit my skillset and passions. I am not sure I could have mustered up the courage to make the change without her!"

"Betsy has the rare ability to combine psychotherapy with solid, informative and personalized career advice. I found her to be extremely helpful and insightful."

"Betsy is a great listener and I found her insight very valuable in helping me to get out of a rut."

"I quit a 6 figure job in order to pursue a new career. Friends and family are good for support but having an objective third party are key to actually coming to, and pursuing, such a major life decision."

Self-Employment

Career counseling if you're considering self-employment or are currently self-employed

I have a good deal of experience with self-employment, including my private practice as a career counselor and my earlier work as a freelance writer and trainer. Although everyone's situation is unique, I can share some of my experiences and challenges to help you sort out your ideas and concerns about self-employment and to address areas where you might be feeling stuck, whether you have your own business now or are considering it for the future. I will not try to steer you in this direction, however, as it is not for everyone; rather, I will help you explore the best option for you. Are you considering going into business for yourself? If so, career counseling can be helpful to address some of these common  concerns:

  • "I've always wanted to have my own business, but it is really scary. Should I proceed?"
  • "I know what I want to do, but I can't figure out what might be the right time to leave my current stable job situation and take the plunge."
  • "I really, really want to be my own boss, but I have no idea what that might look like. I just know I'm tired of working for other people!"

  Are you currently self-employed? In your case, career counseling can help with a variety of issues, including:

  • Not knowing whether to continue a business that is "getting by" but not as successful as you would like it to be.
  • Finding the work less fulfilling than you imagined it would be when you started your business.
  • Feeling stressed and/or overworked.
  • Dealing with the uncertainty of fluctuating income levels.
  • Feeling that your partner or others close to you do not understand your situation because they have "regular" jobs.
