Career counseling, sometimes called career coaching, helps individuals make informed career decisions. This type of counseling is led by one of our Cambridge therapists who is trained to provide career development support.
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
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.

Conquering Low Self-Esteem
Sometimes, what prevents people from getting the career they want are self defeating behaviors brought on by a low self image. Self-esteem refers to an inner sense of value that gives a person resilience to attacks or criticism. Every person has ideas about their self-worth. Having good self-esteem does NOT mean being proud or having an over-blown ‘ego’.
Low self-esteem can cause: feelings of self-hate, believing that one is unworthy or incompetent, a refusal to get close to people, a belief that one does’t deserve strong or supportive relationships, refusal to trust others, and an inability to accept oneself as special or unique. Your self-esteem is in trouble when you allow others to convince you that you are not valuable or significant.”
Poor self-esteem is often the result of prolonged periods of negative feedback in a person’s life. This results in deep wounds and emotional pain.
