Job Loss & Reemployment (TP)

Service Description

This therapy program is designed for individuals facing job loss, layoffs, or unexpected unemployment, and those navigating the uncertainty and emotional toll of searching for new work. Losing a job can impact more than just finances—it can shake your confidence, identity, and sense of security. Whether your job ended suddenly or after a long period of dissatisfaction, this change may bring feelings of grief, fear, guilt, shame, anger, or hopelessness. You may be struggling with thoughts like “I failed,” “I don’t know what I want,” or “No one will hire me now.” The process of reemployment—especially during high stress—can feel overwhelming and deeply personal. The goal of this program is to help you process the emotional impact of job loss, restore confidence, and take intentional, values-based steps toward meaningful employment. This integrative therapy program draws on multiple evidence-based approaches, including: Psychoeducation on grief, shame, and identity disruption after job loss—and how these reactions are normal, not signs of failure. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to challenge beliefs like “I’m unemployable” or “I’ve wasted my time” and rebuild a realistic, self-supportive narrative. ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help you tolerate uncertainty, move through stuckness, and align with your values in the job search process. EMDR therapy, when appropriate, to resolve emotional blocks from previous job traumas, rejections, or toxic work environments. Narrative and meaning-focused work to explore who you are beyond your job title and open new identity pathways. Strengths-based coaching to identify skills, clarify goals, and build confidence for interviews, applications, and new opportunities. Please note: This is a flexible roadmap, not a one-size-fits-all plan. We will move at your pace and adjust the focus to meet your emotional and practical needs. Clients completing this program often report reduced anxiety and shame, clearer direction, increased motivation, and greater confidence in pursuing fulfilling work that fits who they are today.
