Considering a career change or struggling with workplace dissatisfaction? At Wholesome Psychology, we specialize in career counseling in Edmonton and St. Albert, offering supportive, practical guidance for people facing professional crossroads. Whether you’re reevaluating your path, seeking more meaningful work, or adjusting after a major life transition, we’re here to walk that journey with you.

Local Career Counseling Rooted in Whole-Person Wellness

Changing careers is more than finding a new job—it’s a deeply personal decision that touches on identity, values, and emotional wellbeing. As an Edmonton and St. Albert-based mental health practice, Wholesome Psychology brings a holistic, local perspective to your career concerns. We understand the nuances of Alberta’s job market and community culture, and our approach reflects our values of authenticity, compassion, and empowerment.

Why People Seek Career Counseling

Career transitions are a common part of modern life. People often reach out to our licensed psychologists and counselors for reasons such as:

• Feeling stuck, burned out, or disengaged at work
• Returning to work after parental leave or illness
• Wanting to shift to a more values-aligned profession
• Exploring meaningful work post-retirement
• Struggling with job loss or unexpected changes
• Considering new training or education pathways

Whatever your reason, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

Our Collaborative and Personalized Approach

Our career counseling process is designed to be collaborative and empowering. We don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions. Instead, we take time to truly understand you—your strengths, your story, your struggles, and your dreams.

Drawing on evidence-based practices, including elements of self-esteem counseling and Gestalt theory, our therapists work with you to:

• Clarify your core values and professional identity
• Explore career options that align with your goals
• Identify roadblocks—internal and external—and develop strategies to address them
• Build confidence through practical skill development
• Strengthen your resilience and emotional readiness for change

Customized Career Roadmaps

No two careers—and no two people—are the same. Your career path should be as unique as you are. At Wholesome Psychology, we help you create a customized roadmap that integrates your talents, interests, life circumstances, and values.

Whether you’re considering a lateral move, entering a new field, or stepping back after burnout, we help you see the full picture and take strategic steps forward. You’ll leave sessions with clarity, actionable steps, and renewed confidence.

Supporting You Through Common Challenges

Career change often comes with emotional and logistical hurdles. Our Edmonton and St. Albert career counseling services support you through challenges such as:

• Fear of failure or judgment
• Financial uncertainty
• Grief over leaving a familiar role
• Imposter syndrome in a new profession
• Workplace anxiety or depression (learn more)
• Low self-worth or confidence issues

These struggles are normal—and they’re exactly what we’re trained to support. Through compassionate dialogue and skill-building, we help you transform these obstacles into opportunities for growth.

Career Transitions After Life Events

Major life events often trigger shifts in our professional direction. Whether you’re:

• Returning to work after maternity or paternity leave
• Reentering the workforce after injury or illness
• Exploring new work after a loss or grieving experience
• Recovering from burnout or depression

—our team offers a safe, judgment-free space to process your next steps and move forward with intention.

Empowerment for Long-Term Success

Our goal is not just to help you through a single transition, but to equip you for lifelong success and adaptability. We integrate skill-building and real-world strategies to ensure you leave stronger, more self-aware, and prepared for whatever comes next.

Services include:

• Interview and communication coaching
• Job search strategies and mindset work
• Professional boundary setting and workplace well-being
