Career counseling, sometimes called career coaching, helps individuals make informed career decisions. This type of counseling is led by one of our Pittsburgh therapists who is trained to provide career development support.
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
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.

How Does Career Counseling Work?
Your career counselor will help guide you toward confidently making precise career choices. Between the two of you, you’ll put together a confident and practical plan of action. Once completed, your attitude and outlook will likely transform and you will have renewed self-assurance and belief in yourself. Note that a good career counselor does not do any of the following:
- Match the client with a profession and send them on their way
- Make blanket statements or false promises
- Assume responsibility for an individual’s career choice or behaviors
