Career Counseling

Therapeutic career counseling to help you navigate career transitions, burnout, workplace stress, and the search for meaningful, fulfilling work.

Understanding Career Counseling

Your career is more than a job. It's a significant part of your identity, daily experience, and sense of fulfillment. At Restored Family Counseling, career counseling combines the depth of therapy with practical career exploration. Unlike traditional career coaching, we address the emotional and psychological dimensions: burnout, imposter syndrome, workplace anxiety, identity shifts, toxic environments, and how career stress spills into your relationships and mental health.

Burnout is one of the most common concerns we address, and it's far more than being tired. It's chronic exhaustion from prolonged workplace stress, especially when your efforts feel unvalued or your autonomy has been stripped away. We help you understand the factors contributing to burnout, develop boundaries, and make informed decisions about your path forward. Imposter syndrome, the persistent belief that you're a fraud despite evidence of competence, is equally common, and we use CBT techniques to help you challenge those thought patterns and own your accomplishments.

Our therapists use values clarification, strengths-based assessment, CBT, and narrative therapy to help you understand your relationship with work and create a professional vision that feels authentic. Values clarification identifies what genuinely brings you energy and meaning. Strengths-based assessment helps you recognize talents that may be invisible because they come so naturally. Narrative therapy helps you reshape the story you tell about yourself as a professional.

Career stress doesn't stay at the office. It follows you home, affects your relationships, disrupts your sleep, and erodes your sense of self. Whether you're stuck in a draining job, navigating a career change, dealing with a layoff, or simply trying to figure out what you want, we help you address the full impact and build a professional life that supports your well-being.
