Career Coaching for Counseling Students and Trainees
Start your clinical career with a plan, not just a program.
Unmasked Career Lab offers career coaching for counseling students and trainees in MFT, counseling and social work programs. Your program teaches you how to do the work. We help you plan the career around it, from your first practicum to your first associate job.
Sound familiar?
- •You're not sure which practicum site or specialty is right for you.
- •Your program covers theory and ethics, but not how to build a career.
- •You're juggling classes, practicum and maybe a job, and you're already stretched thin.
- •You're worried about pay, debt and what your first job will look like.
How we help
Most career support for therapists starts after licensure. We start earlier, while your options are still wide open. Coaching gives you a place to think through practicum, specialty and job decisions with someone who knows the path. Our space is neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQIA+-affirming.
What we'll work on
Choosing a practicum site and specialty
We'll look at what you want to learn, the populations you want to serve and the settings that fit how you work, so your practicum builds toward the career you want.
Therapy grad school career planning
Map the road from graduation to associate registration to licensure, so each step has a purpose and no deadline catches you off guard.
Building sustainable work habits early
Notes, caseload sizing and boundaries feel lighter when you build good systems from the start. We'll help you set habits that keep burnout away.
Transitioning from school to your first associate job
Learn how to spot red flags in associate job offers, ask the right questions about supervision and negotiate pay with confidence.
