Unlike general therapy, career counseling seems to usually have a definitive end once a plan is created, but not to say that continuous sessions or revisiting is not normal.

However, if you Google "career counseling services" with your city -- there are offices and private practices that brand themselves in the specific field of career counseling that may come up. After that, it's important to get a few recommendations from their past clients and to take a look at their educational background.

I'm pretty lost that's for sure! :P Looking forward to hearing more about your sessions! Btw, how often would you visit a career therapist as opposed to a regular therapist? Less or the same?

I'd be interested to know if you take any personality/MyersBriggs-like test, but catered for career analysis.
