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 Salem 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: How Does It Work?

The good news is that there are so many excellent career counseling services around these days. Most of these employ highly trained vocational counseling therapists who can work at all levels. What this means is that no one has to go through this difficult time alone. It’s amazing how much easier an otherwise complicated decision-making process can become with a little professional guidance.

Students have a clean slate; they haven’t even started in the workplace yet. Older workers have things a bit tougher. It can be easier to find a job when you have a job, but not always. You might need to retrain for something but just don’t have time because of your current work commitments. If frustration goes on for too long you need to watch out for the following signs:

  • Feelings of insecurity
  • Feelings of failure and worthlessness
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Overwhelm of stress

Obviously, these are all things that will only hinder and never help you to move on with a career.

How Can Career Counseling Help Me?

There is a simple solution to this complicated problem and that is to use the services of a qualified career counselor. Career counseling and coaching can help in the following areas:

  • Help to overcome uncertainty/difficulties
  • Help to improve time management
  • Identifying skills acquired and skills needed
  • Expert guidance for career direction and planning
  • Self-presentation and marketing
  • How to write an impressive resume
  • Mock job interview training

Our Thriveworks Salem career counseling services are wide-ranging and aimed at the specific needs of the individual. Whether you’re a student, a senior, or somewhere between the two, we’re here to help. If you’re at a crossroads in your life or just need a little guidance in making decisions, give us a call today and we’ll schedule you an appointment.

Tim is an awesome listener! He remembers conversations that we've had and will bring them up as a gage to of the progress I've made. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering therapy!

Flexibility for evening and weekends was really important to me seeking out therapy. The availability alone for Timothy was a positive for keeping him as my provider, in addition to the understanding he has for allowing me to express feelings and opinions at my workplace which is the primary stressor as an educator.

I have had difficulty finding a therapist I clicked with in the past. They were either too afraid of losing clients or they'd promote unhealthy coping mechanisms. This was my first time going to a therapist where it felt like I was working with a professional who knew what he was doing and had the resources and know-how to help. It's been an extremely helpful experience over the last two years- I don't know if I'd be in the place I'm at without it

Lisa is amazing. She takes the time to listen and makes me feel as though I can share anything with her. She knows how to take it in and approach the matter without making me feel less than or worse for sharing. Plus she is extremely knowledgeable. . The only thing I would like to see, and this has nothing to do with Lisa, would be like sick time or something I could build or have for times something would come up and i couldn't make an appointment. I understand this can't be an option for all, but if you have been with the program for a year plus and have weekly meetings that you do make it to, I just feel as though the program should beable to work with you if you show that you are serious about it. That's all. Thank you. -Kevin
