Rosalie Gelso Shemmer


With extensive experience as a business leader, a career development counselor, and a career services administrator in higher education, I have supported clients across all industries. My vast knowledge benefits clients who are interested in making a career change.

My approach is holistic with an understanding that career decisions have personal and practical implications. The cornerstones of my practice are empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard. I value clients’ distinct experiences, varied educational backgrounds, and unique abilities.

Whether clients are seeking new career directions, transitioning to different roles, or navigating professional growth in their current positions, my services are tailored to meet them where they are. My unique method includes assisting clients as they develop customized action plans that align with their objectives.

My client-centered focus is grounded in my decades-long professional experience and educational background. I am certified to interpret interest and skills inventories including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). I hold a Master of Science degree in Counseling from Pace University and a certificate in Conscious Leadership and Team Management from the University of Chicago.
