Carla Fort, LPC

Carla Fort is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience who brings an energetic, compassionate, and supportive presence to therapy. She greets each person's courage to seek help and focuses on small, meaningful steps that build toward lasting change.

Her approach centers on listening closely and collaborating with clients to set realistic goals. She emphasizes positive psychology and empowerment, helping people reclaim a sense of agency whether they are facing anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, grief, or challenges with self-esteem and life purpose.

When she counsels, Carla aims to create a client-centered experience that recognizes each person’s unique background and values. She praises effort, models practical encouragement, and supports clients in building the skills and insight needed to move forward. Her warm, upbeat style is paired with focused clinical care designed to help people grow, heal, and reconnect with what matters to them.
