PathUp - Career Coaching and Life Coaching — Counselor in Seattle, WA

Working with Teresa has been a game-changer in my career journey. She has an incredible ability to identify and highlight your natural strengths, and she helped me see how those strengths could translate into meaningful career paths I hadn’t previously considered. Through our sessions, Teresa guided me in gaining clarity, building confidence, and taking intentional next steps toward a career that aligns with who I am. She strikes the perfect balance between being supportive and direct, and I always left our meetings feeling more empowered and focused. I’m truly grateful for her insight, encouragement, and strategic approach—she helped me reconnect with what I’m naturally good at and turn that into a clear, actionable direction. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone feeling stuck or uncertain about their next move.

I really enjoyed working with Teresa at PathUp career coaching. The worksheets that she provided on a regular schedule were very helpful for me. I felt like there was clear direction and instructions to follow. I also really appreciated the regularly scheduled phone calls with Teresa. Teresa is very knowledgeable and observant, and always gave helpful advice and tips. I would gladly recommend anyone considering a career change to work with her program.

Teresa was a wonderful partner in demystifying the job search process. She provided tangible guidance that empowered me to figure out my own next steps in my career journey, from valuable feedback on my resume to helping me come up with my "non-negotiables" for my next position. Along with Teresa's expertise in navigating career transitions, her patience, listening skills, and warmth stand out most for me, and I can say with certainty that I feel much more confident looking for my next position. Thank you, Teresa!

This review is long overdue. After working with Teresa, I anticipated gradual changes aligned with my long-term goals over 5 years (a timeline I had set for myself). However, thanks to the tools and reflection exercises she provided, my life improved significantly from 0 to 100. I've transitioned onto a fulfilling career path, exploring non-linear opportunities within the same industry. Teresa's guidance helped me recognize my strengths, values, and weaknesses, enabling me to overcome personal obstacles and embrace a limitless perspective on life. Each session empowered me to establish boundaries, becoming more of an essentialist, enhancing efficiency in my career and creating space for joy in my life. My career has flourished both in terms of time management and finances, thanks to Teresa's support in compartmentalizing my life. I'm immensely grateful for her assistance and would wholeheartedly recommend PathUp to anyone committed to self-improvement. Words cannot express my gratitude for the transformative impact PathUp has had on my life over the past 8 months!

I can't recommend working with Teresa enough! She is insightful, patient, attentive, and incredibly supportive. Her program is thoughtful and well-structured. Working with Teresa over the course of the past 3 months has enabled me to connect with my skills, discover my passions, and uncover parts of myself previously unknown. I feel empowered to pursue my career goals. It is exciting to have defined a path that I am confident I can achieve. She has also introduced me to new tools and approaches that I wouldn't have considered otherwise. I am so glad I invested in myself and will always be so grateful to her for being such a supportive partner.

Teresa was extremely helpful throughout the career coaching process! I was apprehensive at first about not being the right fit for this type of counseling; as a current graduate student I thought that the advice might not resonate with me. This ended up not mattering- Teresa is great at meeting clients where they are and adapted her approach to suit my needs. She continuously checked in to make sure that I was feeling good about the work that we were doing together, and proactively responded when I voiced any concerns. Rather than feeling like all of my problems have been solved, I feel like Teresa has pointed me in the right direction and given me the tools to figure problems out in the future. Thank you so much Teresa!

Teresa has really helped me focus my career path and re-define what a career looks like for me. In addition to learning tools for a stronger approach to job searching, she helped me to define the relationship between "work" and "life" and address assumptions and values I was holding on to that were not my own. I recommend Teresa to all my friends and family and to anyone who is even slightly unsure of their path forward in life. I only wish I had been able to work with Teresa earlier in my career journey.

Teresa is a fantastic coach! She really cares about seeing you succeed. She's responsive and insightful when it comes to what you actually want in a career and she has out of the box ideas about how you can go about your career goals. Teresa has this intuitive gift to clearly see what her clients are actually thinking and she isn't afraid to challenge you when you most need it. She also doesn't waste your time and is very efficient in meetings. Most importantly, her personalized coaching provided me with the tools to succeed in my career in the future. I felt Teresa genuinely cared about me and I always felt empowered after our meetings. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs help in their career! If I need any career help in the future, you can bet I'll be back!

Teresa is fantastic! I was preparing for a couple of job interviews and was interested in working on my interview skills. I was extremely nervous about sharing my weaknesses when it came to interviewing but Teresa was very encouraging and helped put my nerves at ease. I ended up doing pretty well in both interviews I was prepping for. Great news, I was offered a promotion with my current job after doing well in the interview process and was offered substantially more (25k+) than what I had been making so everything turned out better than I'd hope. I want to thank Teresa again for her help with my resume, interview prep and for just easing my nerves.

Teresa is AMAZING. She was an integral part of my interview preparation process and contributed directly to my success. I decided to shift my career from finance to technology. I have been working in finance for most of my professional career and I lacked extensive interview experience. Teresa helped me discover my strengths and craft my pitch/story based on my experience. Her coaching sessions gave me the confidence to perform well during my interview rounds. Her approach and style of coaching enabled me to achieve success. I was offered the job I was prepping for and couldn't have done it without Teresa!
