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 Knoxville 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.

Career Counseling in Knoxville, TN — Therapists and Counselors

There are many people who grow to adulthood and find themselves in a career that doesn’t quite fit. But there are also people who love their careers and could still benefit from counseling. These people might want to advance more quickly, or they need help engaging in office relationships in a more constructive way.

If you are unhappy or have untapped potential at work, this feeling can spill into many other areas of your life, such as your relationships and family life. At Thriveworks Knoxville, our therapists are professionally trained in providing career counseling to people at all points in their careers, from entry-level workers to upper management. Reach out today for help.

Knoxville Career Counseling

Career counseling is pretty straightforward. You’ll meet with one of our experienced career counselors to talk about your goals: a new career altogether, more success and fulfillment in your current job, help to negotiate more effectively, or perhaps you need to develop your skills in managing relationships with coworkers in a more productive way. Whatever your goals are for seeking career counseling in Knoxville, our counselors can help you achieve them.

Once your goals are determined, our counselors will help you develop a strategy for meeting them. This may involve a significant amount of self-assessment. For example, if your goal is to be the president of a company, but you do not enjoy interacting with others, you may need some help in learning to interact successfully with your peers, subordinates, and superiors. Though that self-assessment may result in the need for hard work to learn new skills, we are here to help along the way.

It’s possible during the assessment you’ll decide you’re passionate about leaving your field and pursuing something completely different. In that case, we’ll help you plan a course of action for getting into that new field.

Who Needs Career Counseling in Knoxville?

There are many situations where people find themselves that would benefit from career counseling. These include mothers reentering the workforce after raising children, recent college graduates, those who are recently laid off, and those just unhappy or frustrated at their current job.

We also frequently see people newly entering the workforce. They often have the skills and knowledge to be a good fit for many positions but don’t have much experience at marketing themselves. In these cases, we work with the client to determine what skills they have, who the best bets are for sending applications, and how to create a portfolio appropriate to their field.

What Can Knoxville Career Counselors Do for You?

Thriveworks Knoxville career counselors can conduct testing to find your personality type, evaluate your talents and marketable skills, discuss your schedule and lifestyle preferences, and then narrow down the career fields that would be best suited to these variables.

If the thought of initiating contact with potential employers is difficult, a career counselor can also perform mock interviews, help you initiate the application process, teach you negotiation skills, and help you with “people skills” crucial to navigating the application process.

Applying for jobs is exciting, but it can also be stressful. Take some of the anxiety out of the process by giving us a call. We can help you learn skills that will make you more comfortable and more successful.

Aside from simply applying to jobs, a series of Knoxville career counseling sessions can help you in other ways. Perhaps you already have a career path you’re happy with, but you would like to be more successful. A career counselor can help you determine what professional areas you excel at and what areas need some work. Negotiation skills, a clear action plan to advance, interpersonal skills, and more—your career counseling sessions will be tailored to suit your individual needs and help you create the employment situation you’ve always hoped for.

Scheduling Career Counseling in Knoxville, TN

The world of work is full of possibilities. While this can be exciting, it can also be overwhelming. You may know that your current job is not your dream job but feel unsure that you could ever be happy at work. Let Thriveworks Knoxville career counselors help you create a reality where this happiness is possible. We have appointments available within the week for new clients. We also offer evening and weekend sessions and accept most major insurances.

I like that I am given lots of materials to work with to solidify what I have learned and go back to when I forget what was talked about. I also love that I feel like my experiences or knowledge of therapy isnt a barrier because I am met where I am on skills. Im given information where i lack knowledge and we are able to move on when i already understand a skill.

Brittany Tyler is an amazing therapist that has helped me realize so many truths about myself. She pushes me outside of my comfort zone in the best way to improve my mental health. I have received so much clarity from our sessions, and I truly don't know where I would be without her support, validation, and encouragement. I would recommend her to anyone, because she is able to meet the client where they are at to provide the best results. I feel understood, and challenged in the most effective way. Her knowledge is so expansive, and as a therapist myself I have been thoroughly impressed with her technique. She is truly incredible at her job and I am thankful to be her client.
