We work with individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations who want more than surface-level advice. Our work blends psychology, career development, and real-world strategy so that growth is both sustainable and actionable.

This page is designed to help you understand what we offer—and where to start.

Where People Often Get Stuck

Clients often come to us when something feels off, even if everything looks “fine” on paper. That might include:

  • Persistent self-doubt despite clear success
  • Burnout or work depression
  • Difficulty stepping into leadership or visibility
  • Career stagnation or uncertainty
  • A job search that feels demoralizing or overwhelming
  • High expectations paired with constant pressure to prove oneself

Our work helps clients move from over-functioning and self-doubt to clarity, agency, and grounded confidence.

If you’re unsure what kind of support fits best, the Imposter Syndrome Quiz is often the fastest starting point.

Our Services

Imposter Syndrome Speaking & Workshops

Keynotes, ERGs, and leadership training

Many organizations have talented people whose performance and confidence are quietly undermined by impostor syndrome. It often shows up as over-preparing, avoiding visibility, fear of mistakes, micromanaging, or discounting success—patterns that contribute to burnout and attrition over time.

Our speaking and training programs help organizations build shared language, insight, and practical tools to address impostor syndrome at both the individual and cultural level.

Common focus areas include:

  • Understanding impostor syndrome and how it shows up at work
  • Triggers, identity dynamics, and high-pressure environments
  • Practical tools based on our 3C's framework: Clarify, Choose, Create
  • Leadership behaviors related to confidence, delegation, and decision-making

Career & Executive Coaching

Clarity, confidence, and strategic momentum

Career and executive coaching

Leadership and career transitions can amplify pressure—new expectations, higher visibility, and fewer places to process doubt. Coaching provides a structured, confidential space to think clearly, strengthen confidence, and make intentional decisions without burning out.

Our coaching is collaborative, psychologically informed, and deeply practical.

Common coaching goals include:

  • Leadership confidence and presence
  • Navigating promotions or new roles
  • Managing impostor syndrome at senior levels
  • Decision-making, boundaries, and influence
  • Career clarity and strategic direction

Clients work with either Lisa or Richard depending on fit, goals, and focus area.

Therapy

Clinical, licensed support for emotional well-being

Best for:
Adults located in New York who want clinically licensed support for emotional well-being, particularly when self-doubt or work stress is connected to deeper emotional or relational patterns.

Some challenges go beyond career strategy. When self-doubt is tangled with anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship strain, or longer-standing emotional patterns, therapy—not coaching—is the right form of support.

As licensed psychologists, Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin and Dr. Richard Orbé-Austin provide individual therapy for adults navigating emotional distress, identity, and the psychological toll of high-pressure careers. Therapy focuses on understanding underlying patterns, strengthening emotional resilience, and creating durable change over time—not just managing the current moment.

Common focus areas include:

  • Anxiety, burnout, and work-related emotional distress
  • Identity, self-worth, and long-standing self-doubt
  • Life transitions, grief, and relational strain
  • Emotional patterns that persist across roles, not just one high-stakes moment

Job Search Coaching

Positioning, interviews, and narrative

Job Search Coaching

A job search can quickly activate impostor syndrome—especially in competitive or uncertain markets. We help clients approach the search strategically rather than reactively, so it becomes a process instead of an emotional rollercoaster.

Support often includes:

  • Clarifying role targets and search strategy
  • Resume and LinkedIn positioning
  • Interview preparation and confidence under evaluation
  • Networking approaches that feel authentic and effective

Career Testing & Assessment

Insight for confident decisions

When clients feel stuck or overwhelmed by options, assessment can provide clarity. We use career and leadership assessments as tools for insight—not answers in isolation.

Results are interpreted collaboratively and translated into concrete next steps.

Assessment work may include:

  • Career interests, values, and strengths
  • Leadership and communication patterns
  • Work-environment preferences
  • Integrated feedback and development planning

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with both individuals and organizations?

Yes. We work with individuals through coaching, therapy, and assessment, and with organizations through keynotes, workshops, and leadership or ERG programming.

What's the fastest way to get started?

The Imposter Syndrome Quiz is the quickest entry point. For tailored guidance, a consultation is the best next step.

Do you offer therapy in addition to coaching?

Yes. Dr. Lisa and Dr. Richard Orbé-Austin are licensed psychologists who provide individual therapy, in addition to executive and career coaching. Therapy is currently available to adults located in New York.

What's the difference between therapy and coaching?

Coaching focuses on strategy, performance, and career decision-making. Therapy addresses emotional well-being, underlying patterns, and clinical concerns such as anxiety, burnout, or grief. Because they serve different purposes and involve different professional standards, we don’t provide both to the same client concurrently. A consultation can help clarify which is the better starting point.

Is career testing just taking a test and getting results?

No. Assessments are interpreted in context and integrated into a broader plan so insights lead to real decisions and action.

Can I start with a course instead of coaching?

Yes. Many people begin with a course and later add coaching for personalization and accountability.
