Career and college therapy, also known as career counseling or guidance counseling, involves professional support to help individuals make informed decisions about their career paths and educational pursuits. It aims to assist individuals in exploring their interests, skills, values, and goals to make choices aligned with their personal and professional aspirations.

Core shame refers to a deep and pervasive sense of being fundamentally flawed or unworthy that individuals may carry within themselves. It is often rooted in early experiences, especially during childhood, where individuals may have faced persistent criticism, rejection, or neglect. Core shame can become a part of one's self-perception, influencing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors throughout life.

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) is a psychological condition that can develop in response to prolonged, repeated trauma, often involving interpersonal relationships and a loss of control. Unlike traditional PTSD, which is typically linked to a single traumatic event, C-PTSD is associated with chronic trauma over an extended period.

Grief and loss is a natural part of life, emotional responses to the experience of losing someone or something significant. Grief can be triggered by the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a major life change, or the loss of a cherished aspect of life. It is a complex process that involves various emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

Identity health refers to the overall well-being and stability of an individual's sense of self, encompassing various aspects of identity such as cultural, racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, religious, and personal identities. It involves feeling comfortable, confident, and authentic in one's identity, as well as having a clear understanding of who one is and how they fit into the world around them.

Spiritual health refers to the state of well-being in which an individual feels connected to a sense of purpose, meaning, and transcendence beyond the material world. It encompasses a deep awareness of one's inner self, values, beliefs, and relationship with the universe or a higher power. Spiritual health often involves a sense of inner peace, harmony, and fulfillment, regardless of external circumstances.

Holistic health is an approach to well-being that considers the entire person—body, mind, spirit, and emotions. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of these aspects and aims to achieve balance and harmony for overall health. Holistic health involves preventive care, individualized approaches, and a focus on natural healing. Practitioners promote lifestyle changes, including proper nutrition, exercise, stress management, and the mind-body connection. The goal is to address the root causes of health issues and support the body's innate ability to heal. Embracing holistic health leads to a comprehensive and integrative approach to healthcare.
