Question
hi, I was wondering what types of career assessments you do.  I am graduating college this may with a bachelors in psychology, minor in substance abuse but I have no idea what I want to do.


I have strong writing and editing skills and I like to help people.  Additionally, I was leaning towards art therapy since sometimes younger kids cannot verbalize.

I have no internships yet and am just really confused

Answer
Alison,

You should check with your college's career center as they should have a host of various types of career assessments to connect your strengths and what you like to do to come up with several career clusters for you to choose from.

As with my clients, I have used the Kuder career planning tool and other online assessments as it pertains to the client.  These have fairly nominal fees and shouldn't costs much if you wish to do something on your own.

I hope this helps!

Claiming nothing but success in all of your career endeavors,
