CAREER-RELATED

CAREER COUNSELING

Selecting a career role that you’re expected to fulfill for a lifetime can be stressful. Some folks feel like they get lost in the process. Where do I even start? Others may be transitioning mid-career and know the direction they’d like to go, but need support with specific tasks or developing skills. At BPS, we offer a range of general career services targeted towards folks who need support at all stages of the career process: career planning, preparation, job searching, restarting a career, etc. We offer guidance in the following areas:

  • Burnout and job satisfaction

  • Career interest exploration

  • Résumé review/editing

  • Job searching tips

  • Networking

  • Interviewing skills

    These services can be easily integrated into individual psychotherapy or provided as a separate service with a career focus exclusively. If you are not interested in therapy but a psychology student or graduate interested in psychology career consultation, see the Psychology Career Consultation page.

EVALUATIONS

DIAGNOSTIC PTSD EVALUATIONS

We provide brief mental health evaluations to assess the effects of trauma (and presence of post-traumatic stress disorder and related disorders) for individuals and organizations by request. We have conducted over 80 PTSD evaluations for organizations in our practice to date. Feel free to contact us for more information.

FERTILITY EVALUATIONS

Some fertility clinics in California require a psychological evaluation, or more specifically, an evaluation for readiness/suitability for fertility care by a licensed mental health clinician. We are happy to support you in your fertility journey by providing these types of evaluations if you are pursuing intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization services (IVF), including donor eggs, sperm, or donor embryos. Feel free to reach out to us if you are interested in a fertility-related evaluation.

CONSULTATION

CLINICAL Consultation

We offer consultation services for gender-affirming parenting and sexual identity-affirming parenting. If you're a parent struggling with how to raise your LGBTQ child, our consultation services can help you enact strategies that support affirming parenting.

We also offer consultation for mental health practitioners regarding professional issues.

Please contact us if you have questions about consultation services that we offer.
