SingleGirl, I have seen a career counselor a few times in the last year. I am getting divorced, and as part of that transition, it was recommended to me that I work with a career counselor. She works with people going through divorce and looking for new career/job options as well as other people who are not divorcing. I think she is really good. I went to see her 3-4 times but actually seeing her was too triggering for me, lol, and I had to stop! I plan to return to work with her after other things in my life have settled down and I can handle it.
One way to find people like her would be to locate vocational/career counselors who are part of your local collaborative divorce groups. It is common for people doing collaborative divorce to seek out a career counselor as part of their divorce process. These career specialists also assist people who are not divorcing, but going through career transitions for other reasons. Since you are interested in law, you might also be able to find such people by contacting collaborative family lawyers in yoru area and asking for referrals.
I'm not sure how successful google searches would be. I would try searching on "career counselor mycityname" or "career coach mycityname."
I definitely recommend working with a career counselor on this issue, rather than a regular therapist. Since you are a therapist yourself, ask your colleagues for recommendations and referrals. Word of mouth is really the best way to find someone good. Good luck!
