Career Transitions Therapy for Florida Adults
Career Transitions Therapy for Florida Adults
Work takes up more of your life than almost anything else. When something shifts — a layoff, a new role that isn't what you expected, a career change you chose but didn't anticipate the weight of, or years of unsustainable demands that finally broke you down — the impact doesn't stay contained to your professional life. It bleeds into your relationships, your sleep, your sense of self, and your ability to function in spaces that have nothing to do with work.
Career transitions are life transitions. They deserve clinical support, not just practical problem-solving.
Who This Work Is For
I work with adults navigating a wide range of professional disruptions — including career-level identity shifts, unsustainable work demands, and periods of professional uncertainty. You may recognize yourself in some of the following:
- Layoff or job loss — the sudden rupture of stability, identity, and financial security all at once
- Starting a new role or career — the anxiety, imposter concerns, and adjustment challenges of professional reinvention
- Voluntary career change — leaving something that no longer fits and navigating what comes next
- Work-life imbalance eroding your health, relationships, and life outside of work
- Burnout — bone-deep exhaustion that rest alone won't fix, often with depression or anxiety developing alongside
- Career-level identity disruption — when your professional role has become so central to who you are that changing it destabilizes everything else
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from this work. You need to be ready to make real movement — toward clarity, sustainability, and a professional life that fits.
What Career Stress and Burnout Can Look Like
When professional life is destabilized, the psychological fallout is real and often underestimated. You may notice:
- Persistent exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest
- Emotional detachment from work, relationships, or things that used to matter
- Difficulty making decisions or trusting your own judgment
- Cynicism, irritability, or a shorter fuse than you used to have
- Physical symptoms — disrupted sleep, headaches, muscle tension
- Anxiety or depression developing alongside the professional transition
- A sense of dread or paralysis about next steps
- Questioning your worth, your direction, or your sense of purpose outside of your professional role
These aren't signs of weakness. They're clinical signals that the demands on you have outpaced the resources available to meet them.
The Scope of This Work
This is not career coaching. There are no personality assessments, no resume reviews, and no five-year planning frameworks. This work is clinical support for the psychological weight that professional disruption creates. It's built around your specific situation, not a generic framework, and the focus is on what's actually driving your distress — not on strategizing your next job title.
How I Work
Sessions are structured and skills-based, drawing from CBT, DBT, and evidence-based approaches to stress, adjustment, and identity work. The specific focus depends on where you are — the clinical work of moving through a layoff carries different concerns than adjusting to a new role, and both differ from the work of recovering from burnout or leaving a career that no longer fits. Understanding what your specific situation is actually doing — to decision-making, to identity, to relationships, to the nervous system — is often what unlocks the ability to move forward.
The work typically addresses several layers: understanding what's driving your distress beneath the surface; identifying the beliefs and patterns keeping you stuck; developing skills to manage anxiety, exhaustion, or low mood; and rebuilding a professional life that's sustainable. When anxiety or depression are presenting alongside the transition — which they frequently do — both are treated as part of an integrated clinical plan.
Insurance and Access
I am in-network with Optum, UnitedHealthcare and affiliated plans (Oscar, Oxford, UMR, Harvard Pilgrim, GEHA, Surest, All Savers, UHCSR), Aetna, and Cigna. Private pay is available. Benefits verification is completed at no cost before your first session.
Serving Clients Across Florida
Sessions are conducted virtually, which means career transition therapy is accessible from anywhere in Florida — including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Virtual sessions also matter practically for this population — therapy that fits between meetings, interviews, and the rest of what a professional transition demands is often what makes sustained work possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you help with the practical side of a career change — resumes, interviews, salary negotiation?
No. This practice is focused on the psychological experience of professional disruption, not on career strategy. Clients who need practical career support often benefit from working with a career coach or executive coach alongside therapy — the two serve different purposes.
Can I start therapy while I'm still employed and considering leaving?
Yes. Many clients begin this work during the decision phase — sitting with dissatisfaction, weighing what leaving would cost against what staying costs, or trying to distinguish burnout from a decision to move on.
What if my burnout is severe enough that I'm considering leave from work?
Clients navigating stress-related leave, FMLA, or medical leave often benefit from clinical support during that period. This practice can be part of that clinical picture.
Can you help years into a role that no longer fits?
Yes. Career-level identity work often surfaces later than expected — years into a career that once made sense but no longer does. That's legitimate clinical work.
