Carrie May

Career counseling focused on mental health at work and in college is my specialization. I help college students, job seekers, and working professionals who are feeling burned out, anxious, or overwhelmed reconnect with their strengths and bring their best selves to work or college. I offer complimentary career exploration assessments, resume reviews, strategies for networking, practice interviews, and salary negotiation. I also offer complimentary business plan development for entrepreneurs and guidance on financial aid (FAFSA) for first-time college students. Many of my clients juggle high expectations, relationship challenges, and ongoing stress. They feel stuck, frustrated, or held back by negative self-talk or their environment. Together, we work on recognizing these patterns, challenging self-imposed limitations, and building healthier, more confident ways of thinking with clear steps to overcome challenges.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and Michigan, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), and a SHRM-CP with the Society of Human Resource Management with over 20 years of experience in higher education, career counseling and mental health. I help clients identify their strengths, transferable skills, and personal values so they can improve communication, set boundaries, advocate for themselves, and make confident decisions about work, school, or career transitions.

I understand workplace and academic culture, including the realities of remote work and learning, and I value confidentiality. I’m an affirming ally to LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients, and I strive to create a supportive, practical, and collaborative space—especially if this is your first time in therapy.

I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. In our first session, we’ll review your intake, talk through your goals, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward.
