Career Coaching for Therapists & Clinicians
You became a therapist to help others, not to burn out trying to keep up.
I help therapists and clinicians identify fulfilling career paths that use their skills without sacrificing their mental health. Whether you want to transition to a non-clinical role, explore new industries, or start a business that fits your bandwidth, I will help you clarify your direction and take action.
For most therapists, the real challenge is not their ability to help others. It is figuring out how to use those same skills in a way that supports their own well-being and long-term goals.
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 in a way that makes sense outside of clinical work. -
No idea where to start upskilling.
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” can feel taboo. You need a space where you can talk about this without guilt or judgment.
Any Therapist Can...
-
Mention how much they care about helping others,
-
Take on more clients,
-
Or enroll in another certification program hoping it will create change.
But Employers and New Industries Want to Know...
-
How do you apply your therapist skill set to leadership, consulting, training, or research roles?
-
What makes you stand out from other candidates with similar credentials?
-
How have you managed teams, projects, or client outcomes?
-
How do you communicate your value without clinical jargon?
They're Wondering...
-
What transferable skills can you bring into other industries?
-
How do you demonstrate results beyond direct service hours?
-
If you are changing paths, what professional development have you done to prepare?
-
And if you are staying in the field, how will you build a sustainable, balanced career that fits your life?
Hi, I'm Ash: a Career Coach with AuDHD + a TBI.
I've been there too:
-
Job hopping for nearly a decade,
-
Almost getting kicked out of grad school,
- Failing exams or getting fired for forgetting paperwork,
-
Staying too long at a bad job at the expense of my health,
-
And wondering, "what's wrong with me" when I couldn't start or finish a task that seemed so easy for others.
Then I got a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
This gave me insight into what millions of neurodivergent and disabled professionals experience every day:
-
Job search exhaustion and starting a new role while managing physical symptoms,
-
Disclosure, accommodations, and medication management,
-
Full-time work with weekly migraines and doctor visits,
-
And navigating medical leave, remote work, and burnout.
I learned firsthand you can try your hardest and still "fail" by others' standards.
We’re told it’s our fault — that we just “need to try harder.” But the truth is, these systems — hiring, the workplace, grad school — were built to exclude, not include, people with different brains and life experiences.
Once I stopped trying to fit into broken systems, everything changed. Now I help others do the same.
I’m Ash: Your Guide Through the Career Change Process
I am a Career Coach and former therapist who has helped hundreds of professionals clarify their next chapter.
Before coaching full time, I trained and worked as a therapist in both outpatient and community settings. I understand what it means to carry high caseloads, write endless notes, and juggle multiple roles while feeling underpaid and undersupported.
That experience shapes how I coach. I know the language of the therapy world and the burnout that comes with it. More importantly, I know what it takes to translate your training into roles that truly fit your strengths, energy, and values.
When We Work Together:
-
I am practical and direct. We will break your goals into step-by-step actions that move you forward.
-
I offer support between sessions. If you get stuck, you can text me. We will troubleshoot and refine together.
-
We will plan a timeline that fits your life, energy, and bandwidth. Our work will help you balance reflection, job search strategy, and recovery from burnout.
-
I do not believe in one-size-fits-all strategies. I believe in helping therapists present their unique story with clarity and confidence so employers and new opportunities see the real value you bring.
