Working with Dana Zacks, LCSW, MPH

Do anxiety and depression impact your career success? Through a blend of career counseling, talk therapy, and coaching, I can help you navigate:

    • Anxiety and stress reduction in your current position
    • Your fears and doubts when approaching a career transition
    • Reentering a career after stepping away from the working world
    • The impact of career stress on your family and other parts of your life

What to expect

In our first session, I will begin by listening to your career background, aspirations, and what barriers you have faced. We will collaboratively decide on your priorities for our time together. If you already have a therapist, with your permission I will work in coordination to focus more specifically on your career path. Our goal is for you to feel safe, comfortable and respected throughout this process.

We will explore any oppression or unfair treatment you may be experiencing currently or in prior jobs. If you feel as though you have a pattern of career frustration, we will take a thorough look at underlying causes.

Together, we will explore your past work and identify the roadmap for our work together that is based on your strengths.

How Long Will it Take?

Our work together can be completed in anywhere from a few sessions to many months. If you have experienced a specific workplace trauma or disruption this can often be addressed in a few sessions. Alternately, it will take time if you do not have a therapist and want to work concurrently on career transition and other life challenges that are getting in the way.

Career Transition Counseling and Therapy Process

Depending on your needs, we can balance time between career transition and therapy

Career Transition Counseling

My approach to career transition focuses on helping you to identify your strengths and the kind of culture and supervision where you will thrive.

Our sessions will include:

    • Using assessment tools to identify your strengths and interests for a new career direction
    • Understanding how your personality and values drive career choices
    • Guidance in identifying and researching training needed for top career options
Therapy and Coaching

We will focus specifically on the emotions and beliefs that interfere with your career success. If your career issues impact your personal and family life we will also strengthen your ability to cope and help you to gain resources. I am committed to helping you own your strengths in a positive, supportive, and non judgmental atmosphere.

Our sessions will include:

    • Breaking career transition into manageable steps to overcome fear and resistance
    • Acknowledging behaviors and beliefs that are barriers to reaching your goals
    • Overcoming the impact of past toxic work environments on your self-esteem and family
