Career Counseling for Healthcare and Healing Professionals
We help clients with three types of career goals. Those include:
- People who want to select and be admitted to competitive health care programs: nursing, occupational therapy, speech pathology, radiology, therapy, counseling, and social work.
- Holistic healers and therapists seeking to start or grow private practices: massage therapists, chiropractors, personal trainers, acupuncturists, energy workers, and mental health therapists.
- People carrying out a job search in the health care and healing professions.
Choosing a Health Care or Healing Profession
Health care jobs are popular because people can make a positive contribution, have steady work, and earn professional compensation. The educational programs for them are very competitive. As we work together, you will:
- Assess and decide on which health care profession matches your interests and financial needs
- Discover and evaluate various local educational and financial aid options
- Identify health care professionals for informational interviews and/or job shadowing
- Learn how to maximize your chances of acceptance into your desired program
Identify and Win Your Ideal Job
As we work together, you will begin to:
- Articulate your key interpersonal and technical skills that match market needs
- Identify workplace characteristics in which your career will flourish
- Target and research priority departments, clinics, and hospitals
- Locate websites and networking sources for job leads
- Hone your resume and cover letter to win interviews
- Interview with comfort and competence
We meet with clients for individual sessions on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. See Services for additional information on Job Search Coaching, preparing LinkedIn, Resumes and Cover Letters, Job Interviewing, and our Rates.
Attract New Clients to Your Practice
We will increase your business as you:
- Focus and energize your vision of success
- Identify and reach niches that match your core strengths
- Write a flexible marketing plan, consistent with your personal style
- Improve your web and print marketing materials
- Keep you accountable to your marketing plan through individual sessions, phone check-ins, and/or e-mail
