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 Bloomfield Township 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 that partner to reach your goals. Either way, our career counselors are here and ready to help you get on the right track.

Need more help deciding?

In a perfect world, we would all do what we love. We’d have no reason not to chase and hold our dream job because it brings us all of the happiness in the world. The harsh reality, though, is that there are a variety of factors to consider when it comes to choosing a career path and job. In addition to thinking about your interests and what makes you happy, you should consider your skills, your lifestyle, your responsibilities. And then choose a career path that best meets all of your needs including what will bring you happiness and fulfillment as well as what will pay the bills and allow you to live comfortably.

Weighing all of these factors and exploring different career paths can be overwhelming. Fortunately, there are professionals out there who have specific skills, knowledge, experience, and training related to exploring and choosing a career. These professionals are called career counselors. If you are currently debating what job or field is right for you, consider working with a career counselor at Thriveworks West Bloomfield.

  • What are my morals and values?
  • How can I incorporate my values into the career that I choose?
  • What jobs will allow me to live comfortably and fulfill my financial responsibilities?
  • Do I want to work locally or am I open to jobs that will require me to travel?

I spoke with a great Therapist who was very professional and engaging. I had some questions but am not in a position to book just yet and and she took the time to answer my questions and give me some guidance. Her name was Kenya Marion and I look forward to booking sessions with her when I am able. I thank her for her time.
