Career Assessment in Edmonton & St. Albert

At Wholesome Psychology, we provide personalized career assessment services for individuals navigating career decisions, transitions, or workplace challenges. Located in Edmonton and St. Albert, our psychologists support you in exploring your skills, values, and motivations to help you discover fulfilling career paths. Whether you're a student choosing a direction, a professional contemplating change, or someone returning to work, our career assessments bring clarity and confidence to your next step.

What Is a Career Assessment?

A career assessment is a structured psychological evaluation that helps you understand how your personality, values, interests, and aptitudes align with various occupational paths. Unlike generic career quizzes, these tools are scientifically validated and administered by licensed professionals who interpret the results in the context of your unique life story.

Our team integrates assessment tools with therapeutic dialogue to give you a full picture of how your traits translate into satisfying and sustainable work. You can meet our compassionate team on the Our Therapists page.

Who Can Benefit from Career Assessments?

Career assessments are helpful for:

  • High school and university students choosing a post-secondary path
  • Young adults entering the workforce
  • Mid-career professionals feeling stagnant or misaligned
  • Individuals re-entering the workforce after maternity leave, illness, or personal transitions
  • Anyone experiencing job dissatisfaction, burnout, or uncertainty about their future direction

If you're navigating a broader life change, you may also benefit from our life transitions counselling.

Why Career Assessment Matters

Work is a major part of life—it influences your well-being, identity, and relationships. Many people find themselves in careers that don’t align with who they are. Others face too many options and feel paralyzed by indecision. Some are forced to change direction due to unexpected life events. No matter your situation, a professional career assessment provides insight and guidance to help you:

  • Identify career paths that match your strengths and values
  • Understand your work style and preferred environments
  • Clarify goals and make informed decisions
  • Build confidence in pursuing new or renewed directions

What You Can Expect from Our Career Assessments

At Wholesome Psychology, our approach to career assessment is comprehensive and client-centered. The process typically includes:

  1. An intake session to understand your goals, background, and concerns
  2. Selection of assessment tools tailored to your needs
  3. Secure online access to complete assessments at your convenience
  4. A follow-up session to interpret results and explore career fit
  5. Written summary and personalized recommendations

We work with evidence-based tools including:

  • Strong Interest Inventory®
  • MBTI® Step I (Form M)
  • Career Interest Profiler
  • Career Values Scale
  • FIRO-B® (English)
  • CPI 260® and CPI 434®

Your therapist will help you interpret these results in light of your personal and professional aspirations. All assessments are administered securely online, and support is provided every step of the way.

Support for Returning to Work

Many of our clients seek career assessment as part of a return-to-work process—whether after medical leave, parental leave, or burnout recovery. Our services are especially helpful for those feeling anxious, uncertain, or lacking direction as they prepare to re-enter the workforce. These assessments can also be combined with therapy to address mental health barriers to returning confidently and sustainably.
