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

The following are common focuses of conversation that will help your career counselor best help you:
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.
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.
We like to think that what we do for work does not define us, but it certainly does take up a great deal of our time. In a typical schedule, we are at work much more of the waking time during the day than we are at home. If we are unhappy at work, that unhappiness and frustration can spill over into other parts of life, such as our relationships and family life. There are many situations where you can find yourself in need of a career counselor. Thriveworks Conway has career counselors to help you determine your career goals, and how to take the steps to make them a reality. Reach out today to schedule a session.
If you are in college and trying to determine your major, a recent college graduate, re-entering the workforce after a long absence, or recently unemployed, you can benefit from career guidance.

Do you thrive on working with people or prefer to work alone? Are you creative or more analytical? There are so many different factors that can be used to find your perfect career.
At Thriveworks Conway, our counselors and therapists are leaders in their field. When you are ready to get to work, we are ready to help. Plus, we offer many convenient benefits including evening and weekend sessions, same-week appointments, most major insurances accepted, and more.
