We can do anything we want if we stick to it long enough.
– Helen Keller
Do you dread going to work each morning? Did you “follow your passion” but now find yourself feeling unfulfilled and frustrated? Are you wondering if changing careers is the right move for you?
To experience a fully happy life, it’s important to have a career that you love. But a recent study concluded that over 50% of Americans are dissatisfied (if not downright unhappy) with their work. This dissatisfaction can lead to stress, anxiety and even depression. This unhappiness can also bleed over into your personal life, negatively impacting the relationships you have with friends and loved ones.
Career counseling can help you choose or completely change a career at any stage in your life. Embarking on a new career, though exciting, can also be incredibly stressful, and most people find they could use some help navigating the journey.
Working with a Psychotherapist skilled in career counseling issues can help you sort out potential career direction, development and resources. Sessions may focus on:
- Your particular skills or talents to determine which careers may align best for you
- Higher educational requirements, certifications and opportunities
- Potential earnings and advancement opportunities of various careers
- Exploring specific aspects to daily work routines in different work environments
- Opportunities to transfer existing skills & strengths to new career choices
If you “followed your passion” but ended up in a career that no longer suits you, career counseling can help you figure out which direction to go next. If you’re interested in exploring these issues please contact me today. I would be more than happy to help you get back on the right track.
