Carvan Walker

Carvan Lorraine Carter Walker is a seasoned mental health professional based in Meridian, Mississippi. She holds an Education Specialist degree in Counseling, a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, and a bachelor’s degree in Social Work. Carvan is licensed as a Professional Counselor in Mississippi (LPC license MS LPC 2434), is also licensed as a social worker in the state, and is board-certified in tele-mental health. She brings 20 years of experience across settings that include substance use treatment, adolescent and school counseling, adult and elder services, and marriage and couples work.

Carvan practices from a solution-focused and humanistic perspective, using Narrative Practice as a core tool to help clients clarify values, recognize strengths, and reframe personal stories. In sessions she works collaboratively with clients to identify practical steps and develop a plan for addressing the challenges they face, serving as a guide rather than an authority.

She emphasizes helping clients build a reliable mental health toolbox - a collection of skills and strategies that turn lessons from difficult experiences into stepping stones toward growth and goals. This approach supports individuals and families working through issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, substance-related problems, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles.
