Career Counseling for Work/Life Issues
With over 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur and marketing consultant, Allan J. Katz provides career counseling for individuals seeking greater clarity, fulfillment, and balance in their professional lives.
Career dissatisfaction often shows up as chronic stress, frustration, or emotional exhaustion. Over time, this strain can affect mental health, relationships, and overall wellbeing. Career counseling offers structured support for understanding what is no longer working and identifying realistic, values aligned next steps.
When Work Becomes a Source of Stress
Do you dread going to work each morning? Did you follow your passion only to find yourself feeling unfulfilled or stuck? Are you questioning whether a career change is the right move?
Research consistently shows that many Americans feel dissatisfied with their work. Ongoing dissatisfaction can contribute to anxiety, burnout, and depression, and often spills into personal relationships and family life.
A fulfilling career is not about chasing perfection. It is about alignment between your values, strengths, interests, and life stage. Career counseling helps you assess these factors with clarity and intention.
How Career Counseling Can Help
Career counseling supports individuals at any stage of life, whether you are entering the workforce, considering a transition, or re evaluating a long standing career path. While change can be exciting, it is also stressful, and many people benefit from professional guidance.
Career counseling sessions may include:
• Identifying your core strengths, skills, and talents
• Exploring careers that align with your values and interests
• Reviewing educational or training requirements
• Evaluating earning potential and financial considerations
• Discussing work environments and lifestyle fit
Clarifying opportunities for advancement or reinvention
The goal is not simply to choose a new job, but to build a sustainable professional direction that supports your overall quality of life.
When Following Your Passion Is No Longer Enough
Many people are told to follow their passion, only to discover that the career they chose no longer fits who they are today. Growth, life experience, and changing priorities can shift what fulfillment looks like.
Career counseling helps you evaluate what has changed, what you still value, and how to move forward without impulsive decisions or unnecessary risk. This process supports thoughtful, informed career transitions rather than reaction based choices.
