Do you want to make changes, increase your sport or work performance, or feel stuck and unable to get the life you want? My ideal client need only to have a desire to reach his/her potential, and be willing to “get real” to accomplish this. My clients struggle with stress, feeling overwhelmed, anxiety, depression, anger, work/sport/creativity performance issues, relationship/communication issues, co-dependency, loss/grief, and self esteem. Their goals are centered around improving their resiliency, contentment with life, reconcile loss/grief, improve overall balance, and learn peace making skills that are needed to enjoy life. As a former athlete and coach, I understand performance struggles. Anxiety and mental blocks can cause athlete burnout and loss of love for your sport/passion. Similarly, anxiety, stress, and challenges can alter your passion for life. Utilizing mindfulness, EMDR, and other techniques, we’ll explore ways to improve the way you respond to challenges. Change can be daunting when facing it alone. Together we’ll strategize, and form a plan for you. I utilize a holistic, integrative, and person-centered approach by working to balance mind, body, and spirit. It’s all about you, what you would like to change and experience, and helping you free yourself from that which holds you back. [Read More]

Betty McWillie is one of only 210 master career counselors in the country. The owner of McWillie Career Directions in Memphis, McWillie says that specialized counseling careers such as hers are rare because of the advanced education and training required. McWillie entered the field after several years in corporate public relations positions. She felt stressed and didn’t enjoy her work, so she went back to college and received her master’s degree in counseling. Regardless of age, McWillie says that she helps clients target their particular skills, work experience, education, values, accomplishments and lifestyle preferences through self-assessment tests. She also helps them design resumes, perfect interview skills or look at job descriptions to match their strengths with concrete descriptions in interview settings. Other clients might also need her assistance to manage changes in job cultures. One of her clients worked in a technical position for a company that was downsizing. McWillie matched the client’s self-assessment results with occupational interests and found that a corporate training position would be a positive match for her.
