Meet Carlie

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m the owner and primary counselor of Prosper Counseling Services, LLC. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham as well as a certificate in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling.

Since my counseling education and career began, I’ve worked in various areas such as providing grief counseling to children and adolescents as well as substance abuse counseling to adults. Most recently, I’ve provided school-based mental health services to students ages 4-19 with a variety of needs such as behavioral, relational, personal, and academic.

I believe counseling has the power to help others in so many ways. In my experience, I have seen relationships healed, confidence built, and general life stressors become much more manageable. To help clients, I often use an integrated counseling approach with a focus on ideas and techniques taken from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solutions-Focused Therapy. However, I believe the best approach to treatment is a tailored approach designed to meet each client’s specific needs.

The idea of naming my business came from my favorite Bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11. My main goal as a counselor is to help my clients prosper- whatever and however this may look like for them.

Counseling is a large part of who I am, but more so is my role as a wife and mother. I live in Hoover, AL with my husband and two children. In my free time, I enjoy growing in my faith, reading, crafting, and all things Harry Potter.
