Career Counseling in Chelmsford, MA
At Illusions of Samsara in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, we offer career counseling for adults who are feeling stuck, unfulfilled or unsure about their professional path. Whether you’re looking to change careers, recovering from burnout or wondering how your work aligns with your deeper self, therapy can help you explore the next step with clarity and purpose.
Career challenges don’t just affect our 9-to-5—they impact how we feel about ourselves, our relationships and our sense of meaning. If you’re dreading Mondays, second-guessing your direction or feeling like your job no longer reflects who you are, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.
Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
You followed your passion but now feel disillusioned, overworked or lost.
You’re in a stable job but quietly miserable—and afraid of starting over.
You’re questioning if your current career path aligns with your values or identity.
You feel like you’re constantly achieving but never satisfied.
You’ve been laid off, hit burnout or feel like your confidence has been shaken.
At our Chelmsford-based therapy practice, we create space to process the emotions that come with career confusion—grief, self-doubt, fear, frustration—while also helping you explore practical next steps.
How Career Counseling Helps
Career counseling at Illusions of Samsara is not just about resumes and job titles—it’s about aligning your inner clarity with your outer choices. Together we’ll explore:
Your core values, strengths and interests
Patterns of burnout or perfectionism that keep repeating
Career options that fit your goals and emotional needs
Fear of failure or “starting over”
Life transitions that may be influencing your professional direction
Healing from toxic or traumatic workplace experiences
Support That’s Local and Personal
Unlike impersonal online coaching or one-size-fits-all advice, our career counseling is grounded in licensed, trauma-informed therapy with a personal connection. You’ll work one-on-one with Taramatie Lachmenar, LMHC, a Chelmsford-based therapist who brings a compassionate lens to career questions, identity shifts and emotional healing.
We serve professionals in Chelmsford and surrounding communities—including Lowell, Billerica, Westford and Tyngsborough—as well as clients accessing therapy virtually throughout Massachusetts.
Who It’s For
Our career counseling is for:
Mid-career professionals who are questioning their path
Recent graduates who are unsure how to move forward
Individuals reentering the workforce after a break
Anyone who feels emotionally overwhelmed by career decisions
Whether you’re in a high-pressure field, a helping profession or just trying to make sense of what’s next, this work is about more than your job. It’s about building a life that fits.
Ready to Realign Your Career and Yourself?
If your work no longer reflects your values—or if you’re just ready for something more aligned—we’re here to help. Together we’ll create space to reflect, recalibrate and move forward with clarity.
