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 West Hartford 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.

Need more help deciding?

Career counseling or career guidance is designed to help people choose or change career paths. While most people enter the workforce in their teens or 20s, individuals at any stage of life can find value in working with a career counselor, including college undergrads, recent grads, those in middle-age, and even people nearing retirement.

What Is Career Counseling? Can I Benefit from Career Counseling?

Choosing a career is a big decision, one that should not be taken lightly. Deciding what career or job will best suit you isn’t an easy one—as there are many factors to consider, from your skills to your interests, hobbies, current lifestyle, financial obligations, and much more. The good news is that career counseling was made to help people who are in this limbo of, “Which career is right for me?”

Your career counselor or coach can help you weigh all of those factors we mentioned above. In addition, they can offer information on the skills, experience, and education needed to succeed in specific careers. Your Thriveworks career counselor will prove multi-beneficial. They might ask you the following questions:

  • What brings me joy?
  • What fulfills me?
  • What are my skills?
  • What are my morals and values?
  • Do I want to travel for work?
  • What career path will satisfy and fulfill me?
  • What jobs will provide financial stability?

Your specific career counseling experience will depend on your unique situation. However, the ultimate goal is to help you explore your options and find a happy, fulfilling, successful career. Your Thriveworks Counseling career counselor will provide you with the right guidance and support.
