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 Chesterfield 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 a counselor to help you reach your goals. Either way, our career counselors are here and ready to help you get on the right track.

How Does Career Counseling Work?

“Being able to get paid for doing what I love — is that really possible for me?” Yes! We are thrilled that you asked and we’re excited to see the changes that will happen in your life as a result of our time together.  Your counselor will hold up a mirror to your life and ask you some questions.  Your honest answers to those questions and what you do with the knowledge you gain could change your entire life.

With a Thriveworks Chesterfield Career Counselor, you’ll learn:

  • What kind of work brings you happiness
  • What kind of work showcases your talents
  • How to define success for your own life
  • How to make an optimistic yet realistic career plan

We typically administer one or more of the following:

  1. Career Assessment Inventory
  2. Myers Briggs Temperament Indictor
  3. 16 PF Questionnaire.

Your career counselor will generate a detailed interpretive report and share with you your…

  • Interests
  • Work-related Values
  • Personality Type
  • Aptitudes
  • Preferred Work Environments
  • Developmental Needs
  • Realities

Your career counselor may also use the following three focus areas to determine prerequisite skills and resources:

  • Occupational- job search, resume development, professional contacts
  • Educational – training needs, interviewing skill development
  • Personal – work-life balance, managing depression and anxiety, marital and parenting concerns

Once you are honest with yourself about your career, you can begin to grow professionally in a field that makes you happy.
