Career Counseling

Many of us come to a crossroads in our careers, facing questions that seem to have no easy answers. "Am I in the right job?" "What's next for me?" "How do I deal with feeling so burned out?"

Career counseling isn't just about polishing resumes or practicing interview techniques. It's a deeper journey into understanding what truly motivates and fulfills you in your work life. It's about uncovering passions you may have shelved and aligning yourself with your core values and aspirations as they appear today. Whether you're contemplating a major career shift, seeking advancement in your current path, or struggling with the exhaustion that comes from chronic workplace stress, career counseling provides the space and tools to explore these challenges.

Assessments We Use

We draw on tools like RIASEC (matching your interests and values to career paths), the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs (personality and motivation), and the Big Five/OCEAN model (core personality traits) — not as labels, but as starting points for conversation. Together we'll use whichever combination actually illuminates your situation.

What to Expect

Career counseling with Lucent Paths is practical, not open-ended. Most clients typically meet weekly to start for 12-20 sessions. Early sessions focus on where you are now and what's not working; later sessions turn that into a concrete next step — whether that's a decision, a conversation you need to have, or a plan for a transition.

Career counseling is led by Dr. Devin Rodriguez, who holds an M.A. in Counseling and Career Development alongside his doctorate in school psychology.

Career counseling is offered as a private-pay service — it isn't billed to insurance, since it addresses career and life direction rather than a diagnosable condition. Ask about our rate during your free consultation.
