Career Counseling

Getting ready for your next career can be a challenging experience. Your career choice can have a huge impact on your future, and you may feel overwhelmed by the pressure of the decision. Fortunately, there are many ways to find a career that suits you. Career counseling from Rick McCarthy MFT can help ease the burden of the job search.

Choose the Right Counselor for You

Career counseling is ideal for those who would like to change their careers, but have no idea where to start. Maybe you’re a young adult who just graduated college or high school, and you’re having trouble narrowing down your interests. Or maybe you’ve been working at the same career for decades, it’s no longer fulfilling, and you’re looking for a mid-life shift. In all these cases, talking out your career aspirations with a trained counselor can help clarify what you want out of life.

Establish Goals and Objectives

Once you’ve decided to choose a new career, your counselor can help you set some concrete objectives. What research do you need to do? Do you need a degree or professional certification for your chosen career? The best way to achieve a goal is to divide it into sub-goals: small, achievable increments that you can tackle every day. The search for a career can seem daunting, but it looks a little easier when you choose the right objectives.

Counseling Available in Multiple Formats

Career counseling comes in many different forms, and you will be able to choose which one works best for you. For example, you may prefer to speak to a counselor one-on-one, or in a group setting. You may choose a more formal approach, or an informal chat, whatever works best for you. His goal is never to force you into a prearranged program, but allow you to determine the course of your own counseling.
