Starting Career counseling

What is Career counseling?

Career counseling, sometimes called career coaching, helps individuals make informed career decisions. This type of counseling is led by one of our Cambridge therapists who is trained to provide career development support.

How does Career counseling work?

Career counseling works to help you navigate your professional career and offer valuable information, such as required skill sets and/or education, regarding a particular position you may be considering. The following are common focuses of conversation that will help your career counselor best help you:

  • Job environment preferences
  • Growth potential
  • Career goals, short- and long-term
  • Personality type
  • Desired lifestyle
  • Potential earnings of a given career

Is Career counseling conducted in person or online?

Career counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does Career counseling last?

Career counseling can last for weeks, months, or even years. It all depends on the goals that you're looking to accomplish and whether you continue to want/need that partner to reach your goals. Either way, our career counselors are here and ready to help you get on the right track.

Need more help deciding?

 

If you are discouraged, if you are in a “dead end” job, or even if you are out of work, you are not alone.

It is normal to hit roadblocks in your career. The good thing is that when it comes to those roadblocks, you can break right through them.

Cambridge Career Counseling & Self Esteem

Sometimes, what prevents people from getting the career they want are self defeating behaviors brought on by a low self image.

Self-esteem refers to an inner sense of value that gives a person resilience to attacks or criticism. Every person has ideas about their self-worth.

Having good self-esteem does NOT mean being proud or having an over-blown ‘ego’.

Low self-esteem can cause: feelings of self-hate, believing that one is unworthy or incompetent, a refusal to get close to people, a belief that one does’t deserve strong or supportive relationships, refusal to trust others, and an inability to accept oneself as special or unique.

Your self-esteem is in trouble when you allow others to convince you that you are not valuable or significant.”

Poor self-esteem is often the result of prolonged periods of negative feedback in a person’s life. This results in deep wounds and emotional pain.

The real tragedy is that Many people suffer for years without getting help, when change is right there at their fingertips. They just don’t know how to reach out and take it.

I had been unable to make an appointment with a therapist for a long time. Everyone had a three month waiting list. I took a chance and made an appointment here. I love Hannah, she’s excellent, and I’m glad I found Thriveworks. It’s too soon for me to weigh in on the additional services Thriveworks offers but it seems good!
