Career Coaching for Diverse High Achieving Academics + Professionals
Sometimes we land in careers that are expected of us, sometimes they are careers we’ve aspired for. Being able to experience your career the way you prefer to is important. Sometimes coaching in this area reveals that finding creative solutions can make meaningful differences.
Life Coaching for Diverse High Achieving Academics + Professionals
Life coaching is a process and includes many facets of your life. Coaching is future focused and tends to help you to identify creative ways to amplify your strengths. It also helps you address challenges so that you can lead more of the life you prefer to live.
MPowered in Peri~Menopause or with related reproductive considerations...
One day life as you knew it was forever changed. It might have been noticeable in some ways and it may have been silent in other ways… but it happened nonetheless. In either case, we are called to address our changing needs in order to maximize our health-related quality of life and well being.
In some ways these changes might upend who you knew yourself to be. In other ways it presents a beautiful opportunity to redefine who you are today and how you want to show up for yourself and others. It presents the chance to be intentional in your pursuit of knowledge in this understudied, yet vitally important phase of life. In doing so, you learn, grow, evolve even… AND MPower yourself to advocate for both your needs and your wants.
Note: Peri~Menopause language is intended to be inclusive of the spectrum of pathways by which one enters into this space; i.e., POI, early menopause, surgical menopause, perimenopause, menopause and related reproductive experiences.
MPowered Melanated Clinicians Private Practice Builder Curriculum
For diverse therapists who value legacy building that is based on their passion + power + purpose while honoring life balance.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a private practice or enhance your current practice. Unfortunately, graduate school did not teach you business skills.
-You spent years getting taught the cookie cutter pathway to careers in your field
-You were taught to be accessible but not taught how to ensure that you earn a livable wage in private practice
-You are ready to build your private practice but you’re not sure how to be cost effective, efficient, and ensure it is aligned with your passion + power + purpose while also honoring your code of ethics
-You already have a career (maybe even as a career student) and are not sure how to build your private practice and maintain life balance
Whatever your circumstance is, the way choose to navigate it and who you choose as your coach + consultant will influence your outcomes.
Private Practice Builder Curriculum for Universities
Universities who support first-generation college students, or members of a group that is traditionally underrepresented in graduate education, including those with disabilities, and have demonstrated strong academic potential are prime candidates to subscribe for their students. Furthermore, universities who have a vested interest in MPowering their students to gain ways to remember their why, diversify their skills and streams of revenue are also able to subscribe to Career and Academic coaching on behalf of their students.
Academic Coaching for Diverse Graduate Students and Beyond
Your academic journey can be very rewarding. Sometimes you find that you did not know what all you we were signing up for. Having a coach can help you remember your why + MPower you to gain more of the experiences you wish to have while pursuing higher education.
Academic coaching is reserved for graduate students and beyond.

First off, it is important to share that part of the reason the primary focus is on diverse professionals/academics is because all too often we do not have equitable access to resources. However, that said, if my messaging speaks to you and you feel you would benefit from working with me and/or gaining access to resources please contact me for a consultation. If I have openings and we are a good fit, we can proceed.

“I HAVE RECEIVED CONSULTATION SERVICES FROM DR. HAWES FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.”
The services and support she provides have benefitted me tremendously. She is well informed on topics impacting the wide spectrum of psychological disciplines, and she shares such information in a warm and caring manner. Such information is highly applicable not only to my clinical practice but to my business practice as well. I cannot recommend her services enough.

“CONSULTING WITH DR. HAWES HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES OF MY PRIVATE PRACTICE JOURNEY.”
Private practice can be isolating, and I am constantly encountering clinical and business decisions that merit a real discussion. Having a trusted colleague as a sounding board is an enormous boon to managing my stress levels (so they don't spill over into my personal life) and making the best decisions for my patients, my practice, and myself. Dr. Hawes masterfully keeps all of these levels in mind and provides a wonderful space that is able to handle vulnerability and uncertainty, in order to promote professional growth and resiliency.

“ANY PROVIDER LOOKING TO LEARN FROM AN EXPERT CLINICIAN AND MENTOR WOULD GREATLY BENEFIT FROM WORKING WITH DR. HAWES.”
Dr. Starlyn Hawes is an incredibly skilled clinician with expertise on a broad range of mental health conditions. As a colleague, she is a kind, supportive, insightful and thoughtful collaborator and I am looking forward to collaborating with her further as I continue to grow my own practice.

Looking for therapy…
Note: Although Dr. Hawes is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist her coaching + consulting business is separate from her clinical practice and does not represent health care or a clinical service. As such, she can EITHER work with you as a therapy patient OR as a coaching or consultation client. If we find that your needs are clinically significant, we will talk about it and appropriate referrals will be made.
Sometimes it is possible to remain in coaching or consultation with me while pursuing therapy with another provider. If it is not appropriate to remain in coaching or consultation with me, I will be sure to let you know, and will make appropriate recommendations.
