Career Transitions
Changing work can bring relief, grief, excitement, and doubt at the same time. Even a change you chose can unsettle routines and the way you understand yourself.

You do not need the perfect explanation. We can begin with what has been difficult and what you would like to understand.
What you may be noticing
- Questioning whether to stay or leave
- Feeling uncertain after a job loss
- Adjusting to a new role or retirement
Your experience may look different. These examples are starting points for a conversation.
How we can work on this
We can explore what the transition means emotionally, which values you want your next chapter to reflect, and how to tolerate the uncertainty of an unfinished decision. Practical constraints will remain part of the conversation.
I am Sam Rustum, LCPC. My work is collaborative: we will discuss your priorities, choose a starting point, and check whether our approach is useful to you.
A question you may have
Will you tell me which job to choose?
No. Therapy can support your decision-making and emotional well-being. It does not replace career advising, financial planning, or your own judgment about a particular opportunity.
Talk about your next step.
A free 15-minute consultation is a chance to ask questions and discuss fit. Sessions are $300 for one hour. Contact me to confirm availability, location, and payment options.
