Career Counseling and Coaching—Therapists and Counselors in Houston, TX

Making career choices used to be a lot simpler than it is today. The “jobs for life” are no longer around either. That means people can expect to change their position within a company and/or their career at least twice during their lifetime. Just the job search itself can prove upsetting and harmful to a person’s mental state of mind. Career counseling can prove instrumental in times like these. Counselors can help people in the following areas:

• Avoidance of assuming roles and responsibilities
• Fear of failure
• Fear of success (it happens)
• Identity confusion
• Lack of motivation
• Low self-esteem
• Personal problems clouding the mind
• Self-doubt (lack of belief in one’s ability)h

The Not Knowing: Deciding on a Career Path

There are plenty of obstacles when looking at first time career options or making a career change later on in life. One of the challenges people face is ignorance. Not knowing what you’re doing or where you’re headed can ruin your chances of a successful outcome. Some of the common setbacks include:

• Exposure and belief in career academic myths
• Decision making difficulties
• Inaccurate or irrational beliefs
• Lack of information about available career services
• Lack of information about the world of employment and work
• Lack of self-awareness
• Pressure from others to take a certain career path
