I use two unique approaches to help clients with career direction. One is True Purpose coaching, and the other is the Professional Strengths, Values & Story Survey (SVSS).
I believe at least one of these tools should precede traditional career counseling and job placement because it's vital to understand who you are and why you do what you do (the SVSS) and why you’re on this planet and what’s keeping you from manifesting that (True Purpose). In other words, these two tools are about what you could be doing, not just what you’ve done.
The SVSS is an innovative motivational assessment tool that explores your professional identity and direction through 12 universal “story types.” By seeing your life and work-life purpose in wholly new way, you’ll learn how to be more appreciated where you now work and/or how to find a better “fit” for your authentic self. SVSS coaching typically takes six sessions.
True Purpose is a both a practical and an idealistic/spiritual approach to understanding (and manifesting, if you choose) what your soul – not your ego – wants for you. True Purpose is based on practices that enable individuals to access their own higher source of wisdom (even if that’s “just” one’s own “higher self”) and turn that into a life-long resource. The practical part is about clearly defining and dealing with your internal limitations – which, by the way, are usually the same limitations that have kept you from your true potential so far.

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
In my career counseling practice, I understand the profound impact one's career choices can have on their overall well-being and mental health. Recognizing this, I bring specialized training in career counseling to help individuals navigate the complexities of their professional journeys. My approach blends personal exploration with targeted assessments, facilitating a deeper understanding of each client's unique aspirations, skills, and values. This dual strategy is aimed at uncovering fulfilling career paths that align with personal strengths and life goals. Through this process, I support clients in making informed decisions that not only advance their careers but also contribute positively to their mental health and personal satisfaction.

Rosemarie Manfredi
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My goal is to help you shift from job searching and career decisions that are based in fear, anxiety, or limited options to career decisions that are intentional and aligned with your values. I offer career assessments and guidance for those at the beginning stages of deciding on a career field or direction, those looking for a career change, or those wanting to craft or modify their current career in order to better align with their skills and abilities. Career assessments can identify those specific natural abilities and learned skills in order to find those career fields and goals that might be a good match. These evaluations can be completed in-person or virtually. For those with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ADHD, ASD, or learning differences, I am uniquely positioned to combine my expertise in those disorders with career assessments and guidance to meet your needs.

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.
