Holistic Career Counseling to Help Clients Gain a Sense of Purpose and Direction
- What is Holistic Career Counseling?
-
Holistic career counseling is a whole-person approach to helping individuals identify potential paths for college majors and careers. By incorporating not just academic and professional aspects but also individual interests, skills, personality, and values, holistic career counselors guide clients toward personally fulfilling futures.
- What Are the Benefits of Holistic Career Counseling?
-
According to the National Wellness Institute and Dr. Bill Hettler, regarded as the father of American wellness, there are Six Dimensions of Wellness: Emotional, Occupational, Physical, Social, Intellectual, and Spiritual. Holistic career counseling goes beyond determining an occupational plan infusing the five other Dimensions of Wellness to create harmony, and ultimately fulfillment. A career that satisfies only a fraction of a person's wellness needs is unlikely to result in optimal life satisfaction.

"Our high school senior had no idea what type of career he wanted to pursue after graduation. Kathy Fine was recommended to me, so we gave her a call. She worked closely with my son to assess his interests and help him align those interests with potential career opportunities. He now has a much better post-high-school plan. Kathy has also offered to help him with college transfer applications once he completes community college. We really appreciate all of her help and highly recommend working with her!"
