Career Counseling and Coaching in Charlestown, Maryland.

Starting or changing careers can be one of the most challenging tasks in life. This is especially so as our economy continues to change and evolve. Career counseling at Perspectives Counseling Center can include assessing your interests and skills, creating strategies for effective job hunting, and helping you consider how to balance and manage your career goals along with your goals for well being and growth.

You might be dealing with a loss of career direction, feeling stuck and unsatisfied in your job situation, or an outright career “crisis” with anxiety provoking changes. In all of these situations you can benefit from career counseling with a licensed professional counselor who also has over 20 years of human resources management experience in various types of organizations. Developing a collaborative alliance with a professional counselor who offers this dual perspective (managing both the internal emotional/cognitive factors and the external work and market place realities) can enhance your ability to make thoughtful, strategic decisions with meaningful progress towards your career goals.

In some cases, a person can be in a particular career and feel unsatisfied, or as if their potential is not being used to the full extent. It is possible that, with some focus on this issue, one can develop new career goals and feel more hopeful about their future, in terms of employment and career advancement. And, there are times that a person is having an underlying emotional issue, and that is affecting their career success; counseling and/or an evaluation can help to identify the issues.
