Career Counseling


Lakewood has therapists who specialize in helping clients clarify values, assess interests and skills, and set appropriate goals toward finding satisfying and meaningful work.

It is essential to recognize the value of an active approach to choosing and developing a career. Benefits of systematic career planning include increased control over your career direction and the pace at which you move, minimization of change-related stress, and, ultimately, more effective and satisfying career decisions.

Career development consists of a variety of components or phases through which an individual works to make and implement decisions. In each phase or component certain issues and questions are addressed. Each individual's process of moving through these phases is different and often not sequential, since career development is a dynamic process.

The components below are addressed (depending on your individual needs):

Self Assessment

Interests
Personality
Skills
Experiences
Values

Reality Check

Occupational Research

Career/Organizational Research
Employment Trends
