Career Counseling Therapists in Walnut Creek, CA

Hello, I'm Rhonda Daley, a Certified Professional Coach. I specialize in motivational and transitional coaching. Change is inevitable. What will you do to navigate your road to success and transform your life? My clients come from all over the world and have a wide range of backgrounds and needs; from teachers, career changers, counselors, new professionals, sales, students to empty nesters. I also work with entrepreneurs from 15-75 years old. As a trained professional and member of the International Coach Foundation (ICF), I can help you achieve extraordinary things. There is no better time than now.

Every so often life will throw challenges your way, whether it is due to relationship issues, workplace challenges, job loss, or other life stressors. I am here to help. We will work together to face these hardships. In this partnership I will help to guide you in a direction that will help you feel more fulfilled and assist you in overcoming any personal struggles that you may be experiencing. During our sessions I will provide you with a safe, empathetic, and non judgmental environment where you can feel safe to address and overcome any personal struggles and hardships that you may be experiencing.

Searching for a therapist and asking for help is a brave act of self-love. In our work together your goals, issues and dreams are at the center. This is your time to explore, to heal, and to grow. Old patterns may be difficult to change. A trained therapist can help you to make the changes you need in order to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Psychotherapy works when you're supported by a trained trusted professional. I may be that person for you. Is it time to dig deeper and seek support needed to help you find more joy, more self respect? We all have stress and doubts in our self. Some of us have trouble handling that stress. I will work with you through nonjudgmental support and understanding, to help you better understand who you are, how you got there, and whether a few changes to your thinking and behavior might help you find the joy you are missing, improve your relationships and to better manage your stress, while learning how to show up for yourself.

Feeling restless or easily distracted? Lacking energy, motivation, focus, or direction in life? Spinning your wheels in your career or relationships? Prone to pleasing others at all costs, yet feeling unhappy and misunderstood? Always too busy to stop and smell the flowers? I'd like to help you become more empowered, confident, and satisfied through facing and letting go of your fears, irritating beliefs, guilt, and suffering, so you can learn to communicate more effectively and have healthy relationships. For more than twenty-five years I have provided time-limited and in-depth psychotherapy to individuals, couples and groups.

My first career was in the business world, working in corporate America and on Wall Street. I understand the demands of a high paced career and how easy it is to become disconnected from our relationships and ourselves, and lose sight of our values and goals. I specialize with high performing professionals who prefer a directive and solution-based therapeutic style. I've been working with individuals and couples for over a decade, helping them improve the way they feel about themselves and enhance the quality of their relationships.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Marriage and Family Therapist with four years of experience treating cultural diversity issues. I believe every individual is unique and finding the strength to defend that uniqueness is my goal as a clinician. Many times, we find ourselves dwelling in a place of discomfort because we are in transit, in a new position, a new career , a new family or a new country. We are living constantly transitioning from one culture to another one, through life phases, starting new traditions. My goal is helping you to succeed in your own special journey.

By seeking therapy you have begun your journey towards positive change. Counseling can help you create healthier choices, gain emotional self-awareness, and better communication and relationship patterns. I welcome individuals, couples, adults and teens who present with a variety of life challenges and from diverse backgrounds. I use an integrative approach to best fit the needs of each client. My style is empathic, supportive, interactive, collaborative and relational. I believe in creating a supportive space for each person to find their authentic self in order to live a more productive, peaceful, and joyful life.

I have two main specialties. I work with athletes, dancers and musicians of all levels, and business executives who are in transitions as a result of injuries, retirement, or the desire to make changes in direction with their sport, instrument or career ; as well as often working with their family members. I also consult with high schools, universities, and professional coaching, training and teaching staffs about their teams and about individual athletes who are in transitions. My other specialty is training clinicians to work with all types of eating disorders, and working directly with people who suffer from eating disorders.

"Many Bay Area dual income and professional families struggle with the pressures of maintaining their lifestyles and helping their children succeed in school. Many suffer from anxiety, depression, relationship issues that are directly related to the challenges they face daily. As a former lawyer, hi-tech marketing director, and a first-time parent later in life, I am intimately familiar with these challenges. When I began practicing as a therapist, I knew I wanted to apply my life experience to help inspire busy professionals to work through the challenges, transitions, and struggles of living and thriving in the Bay Area."

Whether your challenge is depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationships, addictions or career challenges, all you need to get started is the desire to change.

Over the past 25+ years its been my privilege to assist individuals and couples work through obstacles that have prevented them from experiencing meaningful and peaceful lives and relationships. My clients are coping with the everyday stress of marriage and family concerns, parenting, aging, health issues, career and financial challenges, loss or other critical and stressful situations. With those stressors often come depression, anxiety and a whole host of other symptoms.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with trying to keep your family together, your relationships, job demands and daily responsibilities? Are your children struggling with peer relationships and/or school functioning? Reaching out to get support takes courage. This is an unimaginable time. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety and depression or feeling isolated, you deserve to take care of your mental health and emotional well being. Your adolescent or teen can benefit from getting support with a trusted ally who will listen and help improve functioning.

Do you long for a more balanced, meaningful life? Are your obstacles or patterns preventing you from achieving your goals and full potential in relationships & career ? Are you trapped in the chains of depression, anxiety, or addiction? Do you have spiritual curiosity? I help you attain joy, love, & peace in a nonjudgmental, active, & constructive manner. I have a general practice & specialize in relationships, life transitions, depression/anxiety, addiction/substance abuse, & grief.

Are you disillusioned and asking yourself how your working relationship got this bad or hard? You and your business partner had a great business idea and decided to launch a business together. It seemed so promising at first. Even more so if your partner is also your friend, sibling, or spouse. You knew there would be ups and downs. Now that you are mid-stream, the business is bringing out the stressed and critical sides of both of you more than ever. It feels overwhelming and at times, unbearable. And yet, you are under the gun to make it work.

You may be struggling with depression or anxiety, grief or loss, a traumatic event, adjustment to the pandemic, associated traumas, or a difficult relationship. Maybe your stress level has increased recently, and you find yourself struggling to cope. These types of situations sometimes leave people feeling “stuck” and unsure of how to move forward and regain their quality of life. Psychotherapy is a powerful, evidence-based mental health treatment that helps many people move past the “stuckness” and find new ways of managing life’s challenges. In addition to psychotherapy, I also offer psychological assessment and consultation.

With more than 20 years experience as a psychologist in diverse settings, I gained valuable clinical work experience and improved my mastery of psychotherapy. I continue to enhance my skills on a variety of evidence-based therapy techniques. Working with a diverse group of clientele brings me a sense of fulfillment and reward. I believe that active listening, understanding, providing empathy and showing genuine compassion, walking with someone in their path to recovery/healing are ways that one can achieve a sense of awareness and clarity, then eventually find a balance between change and acceptance.
