Maybe you’re feeling dissatisfied with your job or stuck in your current position? Or you may be contemplating a career change or starting your own business? Our psychologists at Metta Psychology Group are here to support and guide you as you navigate these important career decisions.
Career counseling helps to clarify your goals, personal interests, and strengths—leading you toward greater self-awareness and fulfillment. One of the main initial goals of career counseling is to form a strong therapeutic relationship with your therapist. Our psychologists at Metta Psychology Group are dedicated to providing a safe, empathic environment for our clients, which is crucial for change to occur. During initial sessions, your psychologist will gather information regarding a variety of areas in your life, such as: educational and employment experience, personal strengths and weaknesses, acquired skills, likes and dislikes, and values/morals. Our psychologists will then use this information to collaborate with you in creating an individualized treatment plan that addresses both your personal and professional needs and goals.
Counselors encourage clients to consider what is most meaningful and important in their lives—then applying these values to the process of career exploration. For example, counselors can help clients identify and implement concrete steps such as shadowing, networking, and informational interviewing to further explore career possibilities. Counselors also use decision-making strategies to assist clients in narrowing down options, as well as overcoming any feelings of uncertainty and fear. And, finally, because it is common for job seekers to feel discouraged at times and engage in procrastination, our psychologists are well-versed in motivation strategies to keep clients on track and productive.
Our psychologists at Metta Psychology Group create an empathic, informative space for you to navigate your career—whether you are considering a new career path, desire a change within your current job, or want to enhance your career development.
