Career Counseling & Coaching

What do you want to be when you grow up?

It isn’t only a question for children. People ask it again when they finish school, when a career stalls, after a layoff or divorce, and when retirement is close but work still matters. Our counselors help you answer it with evidence about your interests and abilities, not guesswork, and then turn the answer into a plan.

Who We Work With

Early career

Choosing a major, a training program, or a first career direction.
Mid-career

Changing fields, returning to work, or rebuilding after unemployment, downsizing, or a major life change.
Mature career

Finding more meaningful work, or a role that fits the years after retirement.

We match those results to real occupations, including their training requirements, wages, and job outlook in your area.

Wonderful experience with both the expert and staff. Ms. Peralta’s reports have repeatedly provided my clients powerful support in their cases, particularly at the point of mediation. I’d be surprised to learn if any attorney in my office wasn’t already at least occasionally retaining you guys!

Our thanks to you, Ms. Peralta, and everyone else involved for your invaluable assistance, and we look forward to working with you all again in the future. Best regards.

Dr. Lastrapes, I’m so excited by how quickly you all are moving this along. It’s a breath of fresh air and very much appreciated.

Trusted Client

The lawyers at my firm and I have enjoyed working with Stokes & Associates on continuation of care projections in our cases. Clayton and his team provide outstanding support, in a timely manner, and at a fair price. Their life care plans are thorough, well-documented, and easy to understand, making them a valuable asset in presenting long-term needs clearly and effectively. They are responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. If you haven’t had the opportunity to work on a project with Clayton, I recommend you give him a shot.

Trusted Client

Mrs. Brandy Bradley, we recently settled this particular case. Thanks for all of your excellent work and assistance.

Trusted Client

I contacted Clayton to do a life care plan on a complex case with major long-term impairments. Clayton and his team quickly jumped on board by scheduling a meeting with me, reviewing all the records I provided, and directly contacting all necessary healthcare providers. Clayton took care of everything for me behind the scenes while also keeping me fully apprised with his progress. Towards the end, he gave me a preview of the expected results to make sure they aligned with the evidentiary standards I needed to satisfy. He also recognized the need for an additional report on future lost wages and recommended a colleague at Stokes who could create that. The final product was fantastic and added significant value to my case. I would hire Clayton again in a heartbeat and would recommend the same to anyone else.

Trusted Client

Thanks for all your assistance in getting these reports done on short notice!

I will recommend your services around our office, and I’ll be in touch in the future.

Trusted Client

I was blown away by the report and will definitely engage Dr. Wolfson on my next case needing a life care planner. I look forward to working with you again in the future!
