Career counseling assists people in finding the right career path for them. It includes discovering skills, honing in on specific interests and aptitudes, and researching meaningful ways for people to do the work that suits them best. If someone questions their career or work choices, a career counselor will administer tests, including inventories about personality, skills, and strengths. The therapist will then educate the client about career fields, industries, or companies that have jobs that align. They can then work with the person to develop specific skills for that job, such as effective communication, interpersonal skills, and time management.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is an essent...

However, I will provide you skills and interventions that can aid in changing the relationship to those pains. I...
One of the early questions I ask a new client is, "where are you hoping this relationship will take you?". For some, the answer to this question is clear. They imagine a life where their anxiety or depressive symptoms no longer get in the way of attending school or work, spending time with friends and enjoying their days. Others hope for a time when they feel physically and emotionally well eno...
