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 Austin 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 a counselor to help you reach your goals. Either way, our career counselors are here and ready to help you get on the right track.

Need more help deciding?

The world is full of different career opportunities. When we are younger, we think there are some simple options, such as a teacher or a doctor. But when we become adults, we find that there are so many jobs of which we do not even know. We meet someone that has an interesting job that we never even knew existed. It may make us feel overwhelmed, yet also excited about the possibilities for our future. Thriveworks Austin career counselors can help you learn more about the many possible job options, and narrow the field of what may be best for you.

We can conduct personality and skills testing to help you learn more about yourself and your talents. Perhaps you are rejoining the workforce after spending decades raising your children. You may have no idea what career you would love, and also feel unsure of what skills you can bring to a workplace. We can help you see your worth, develop a plan, and even a resume, that reflects that worth.

At Thriveworks Austin, our counselors and therapists are leaders in their field. We do not operate with waiting lists. We have appointments available within 24 hours for new clients. When you are ready to get to work, we are ready to walk by your side.

Your perfect job is waiting; we can help you find it.

I have been working with Dr. Covey for almost 6 months now and she has been excellent. I feel like I am heard and understood even when I have a hard time expressing things myself and putting thoughts into words. Having someone who can actually listen and provide the resources to assist myself with past trauma and current challenges has been a life changer.

★★☆☆☆
This is prior to being seen so this is strictly based on first impressions upon entering the building. The waiting area is nice but undefined as to where one should go nor any indications as to what is needed to be done. No one was there to greet us nor was there any desk or window to suggest someone would. We looked for the therapist's office but no doors had any identification to point us in the right direction. At this point we're at the mercy of the clock alerting the therapist to seek us out in the waiting area in order to be seen. Not the best first impression. I will update this review if and when we are seen.

Easy and convenient to book according to my schedule. I feel like I'm learning and making progress with Mrs. Antoine. She is extremely kind and empathetic. I would recommend a friend to Thriveworks because of my experience with her.
