Career Counseling

Finding a satisfying and fulfilling career is a critical part of mental health. If you are facing career-related challenges or just having trouble figuring out what your next step should be, you may want to explore career counseling (or career guidance as it is sometimes known). A qualified career counselor will be able to help you identify all your options and work to help you change, choose or leave a career. No matter what stage of life you are in, a career counselor can help you use your values, skills, strengths, and interests to identify the perfect career for you.

I worked with clients navigating career issues that often leave them feeling stuck. I use a holistic framework to understand the context, such as family or societal pressure, capitalism, financial fears, and other anxieties, that can exacerbate clients’ career issues.

— Samantha Wong, Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY

I do both strategic and tactical career consulting. Strategic career counseling helps answer the question, "What should I do next," while tactical approaches answer, "How can I make that happen?" Anxiety is often a confounder in career exploration and in the tactics of making a change and I think I am most helpful when both work issues and anxiety issues are at play!

— Katie Playfair, Licensed Professional Counselor in Vancouver, WA
 

Everyone has unique talents and strengths. Everyone. The key is to understand how to leverage these in a way that creates ultimate satisfaction for you, and in turn serves others. If you work with me, I will push you to try experiments and forays toward the career growth you deserve.

At some point throughout our careers, most of us will experience feeling stuck, unmotivated, unsure of next steps or in need of some support navigating a workplace dynamic. Therapy can be a great place to identify and talk through work-related challenges. As a career changer, I have personal experience navigating different kinds of work environments and grappling with my career path.

— Megan Wessler, Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY
 

The career counseling I offer is a bit different than helping you determine your life's calling, next career move, or navigating a job search. While I'm qualified in those areas, I specializing in helping others work through how anxiety, self-esteem, confidence, burnout, and people-pleasing are impacting their career performance. I enjoy helping others feel more secure and in control of their job and professional identity by tackling these issues within the specific context of their career.

— Joe Burke, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Cary, NC

Is your job getting you down? Are you feeling burned out, and not sure how to turn it around? Maybe at this point you can't even remember why you accepted the job in the first place. Or perhaps you're an entrepreneur and can't seem to create the work-life balance you'd thought you would have achieved by now. You've noticed that getting through the week is getting harder and harder, and the coping strategies that used to work just aren't cutting it anymore. No worries - I can help!

— Dr. Grisel Lopez-Escobar, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Boca Raton, FL
 

How we feel about our careers and the healthiness of our work environments have significant relationships to our mental and emotional health.

Finding a job that suits your needs, your purpose, and your values can be super hard. Especially if you're not sure if you're in the wrong job OR if you're not managing it properly. Once you've identified what you want to do, it is important to set yourself up for success - from the first interview, to every-day work life, through promotion and future career goals. Let's talk about how you can maximize your strengths, manage your day, and succeed at work.

The transition from teenager to adult is under-recognized in terms of the challenges. They include the long journey of building an adult career, adult friendships and mentors, and adult autonomy. I work with you to identify the areas where you are thriving and the areas where you need help. Overall, most people have set deadlines for themselves that are hard to achieve and together we work to break the effort into digestible chunks.
