Mental Health Counseling
“Hi Meichle- I wanted to share this amazing win I had and I know I could not have done it without the confidence I gained thanks to you. I found out last spring that one of my male colleagues was making significantly more than me and had been hired at a much higher salary. I had a conversation about a salary adjustment with my supervisor and he suggested I have a conversation with another department leader, which I did and was given several options of how to approach. I also requested comparable salary data from HR. I took that aligned with a recent posting for a similar position at another organization and met with my supervisor again. He indicated that he had been looking into all of it and I would be getting a pay raise to be more equitable in September. I finally got the salary adjustment letter yesterday and it was a $10k increase! I am so proud of myself for standing up and reaching out about this issue. Thank you!!”

This journey was a pleasure because of you.”

Coming up with solutions and action steps together I walked away feeling more at peace and she gave me some meaningful things to think about as I focus on what brings me joy.”
“I feel as if that fog has lifted some and the direction has become clearer. Sometimes we all need someone to point in a direction and say, “Trust me it’s ok to go this way.” A little reinforcement can do a lot towards that feeling of being grounded and confident. I appreciate you and your positive energy towards my goals and I look forward to our next meeting.”
