CAREER COACHING IN LOS ANGELES
Sarah Segal, MA: Bridging the gap between clinical insight and real-world action
Many people struggle not because of a lack of intelligence or motivation, but because anxiety, shaken confidence or executive functioning challenges make the next step feel impossible.
At Blackburn Clinical Services, we offer a rare and essential bridge: specialized career coaching. Our approach focuses on young adults, people in recovery and anyone navigating "failure to launch" challenges, helping them move from feeling stuck to building long-term stability and independence.
Who career coaching helps
- Young adults unsure where to start with school, work or independence
- People in recovery rebuilding routines, confidence and a career
- Anyone feeling stuck after setbacks, gaps in work or school, or repeated false starts
- People with ADHD or executive functioning challenges who need practical structure to follow through
A strengths-based approach
Traditional career advice often focuses on outside pressure or fixing deficits. Our framework is different. We work from a strengths-based, values-driven model that turns clinical insight into practical, real-world steps.
How career coaching supports your growth
- Clarifying identity. Finding career paths that fit your genuine values and abilities.
- Building momentum. Creating manageable routines around education, employment and daily structure.
- Restoring confidence. Breaking the "stuck" cycle through concrete, achievable goals.
- Executive functioning support. Developing the tools to manage professional and academic demands.
Part of a coordinated plan
Career coaching can stand on its own or be combined with other Blackburn services. All of our services are available individually or can be combined into a customized package. Coaching pairs well with individual therapy, psychiatry, neuropsychological testing for clarity on attention and learning, and our Concierge Outpatient Program.
