Feeling stuck between where you are and what’s next?
The Career Change Starter Kit helps you create clarity without overwhelm.
Feeling Stuck or Burned Out in Your Therapy Career?
-
No clarity on what else you can do.
You have thought about leaving, but you do not know what jobs actually use your therapist skills or how to explain them for non-clinical roles. -
No idea how to rebrand your skills.
You have years of training in assessment, documentation, and client care, but not in marketing yourself or building a resume that resonates with employers. -
No desire to repeat the same burnout.
You want to move on, but you do not want another job that drains you with poor pay, high caseloads, and unrealistic expectations. -
No community or support.
Saying “I do not want to be a therapist anymore” feels taboo. You need a space where you can talk about this without guilt or judgment.
I’m Ash, an ex-therapist.
I’ve been there too.
I spent five years pursuing my license after getting my Master's in Mental Health Counseling.
I worked multiple jobs at any given time across outpatient, in-home, school, college, and hospice settings.
When COVID hit, I went through heavy unmasking and burnout. That's when I decided to stop pursuing my license and move across state lines for my dream job working at Carnegie Mellon as a career counselor.
Career Counseling for 10+ Yrs
My passion for career services started back in graduate school. I primarily worked in higher ed, with a focus on career advising, working with 6,000+ college/grad students and career changers in more than twenty industries.
In 2025, I opened Across Careers, LLC: in my first 90 days, I was able to help 25+ therapists discuss and explore their career options.
I also founded a Facebook group, now with 900+ therapists who are exploring their careers.
My goal is to help therapists make informed, strategic career decisions - based on skills, constraints, energy, and real job options.
Now, My clients have gone onto successful roles in healthcare tech, teaching, publishing, digital products, coaching, L&D, and many other areas.
