Stephen Kastner, MS, MA, NCC

Stephen@KastnerCareers.com
Moving through the work world today requires much more effort and confidence than it has in the past. Things that were once taken for granted such as job security, healthcare and pensions have now become the concern of the employee. This shift has left us more responsible for managing our own lives. We can no longer depend on organizations to provide us with a predictable environment for our lives. We must now rely on ourselves to construct a career. Moving from one assignment to the next, we must let go of what we did, but not who we are.
Stephen can help you with this. He takes a very holistic approach to Career Counseling. He believes that our careers are an expression of who we are and what we want to be and that our careers need to be viewed in relationship with all aspects of our lives.
Stephen holds a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from The George Washington University and is certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors as a Nationally Certified Counselor.
