Hire the Best Career Coaches in Los Angeles, CA

Hi everyone, My name is Mabel! A little about me: I received my master’s degree in psychology with a clinical psychology concentration. I have completed several formal courses at the UCLA Extension Center's Creative Writing program in children’s picture books. Previously, I have worked with children and adults with disabilities (e.g., reading disability, autism, oppositional defiant disorder) and mental health conditions. I have a passion for advocating for individuals from varying disadvantaged backgrounds. Some include individuals who are considered marginalized, identify as students of color, face food insecurity, and are first-generation students in higher education. In addition, I served as a suicide crisis counselor, providing resources, validating individuals in crisis, where I supported them through challenging moments with empathy and non-judgment. Currently, I am in the process of writing my own children's picture book series, and when I have time, I love providing insight and feedback to aspiring authors. I hope that I can encourage aspiring authors to write and publish their stories by providing thoughtful, gentle, and constructive feedback for children’s picture books. In addition, I’m a career and academic coach with a passion for helping individuals clarify their academic and career goals, strengthen their professional skills, and succeed academically and professionally while honoring a healthy work, life, social balance. I work with both neurodivergent and neurotypical clients, providing personalized guidance tailored to each person’s unique strengths and needs. With a background in clinical psychology, I like to incorporate mindfulness activities like guided visual imagery exercises and reflection activities to help clients identify and clarify their professional goals and prepare them for success. I focus on delivering actionable, encouraging, and results-oriented feedback, tailored to each client’s career path. Overall, my approach is flexible and designed to help everyone, especially neurodivergent clients navigate academic and professional challenges with confidence. I intend to provide feedback that’s honest, encouraging, and easy to use. More than that, I’m here to encourage, motivate, and uplift you! I understand everyone has their own unique needs, and I would be happy to offer a free video chat to see if you may benefit from my services.
