About

I am Kathy S. Allen, MA, LCMHC-A, LCAS, ICADC, SAP, CSI, a licensed mental health and substance use professional with more than 20 years of experience serving individuals, families, and communities affected by substance use, mental health concerns, and impaired driving offenses.

As the Owner and Director of Carolina Services of North Carolina, LLC, I provide counseling, substance use assessments, DOT Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) services, DWI evaluations, clinical supervision, and educational programming. My practice is dedicated to helping individuals overcome barriers, develop healthier coping skills, and achieve meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Montreat College and hold multiple national and international credentials, including International Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (ICADC), Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS), Certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), and Certified Clinical Supervisor Intern (CSI). I was honored to receive the IC&RC International Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor Professional of the Year Award in 2024.

Beyond direct clinical services, I am actively involved in professional leadership and ethics. I serve on the North Carolina Addiction Specialist Professional Practice Board, where I have held leadership roles including Ethics Chairwoman and Board Secretary. I am passionate about advancing ethical practice, professional development, and public protection within the behavioral health field.

My approach to counseling combines evidence-based practices with compassion, accountability, and respect. I believe every individual has the capacity for growth and recovery when provided with appropriate support, education, and opportunity.

Whether I am working with individuals navigating addiction, mental health challenges, professional compliance requirements, or life transitions, my goal is to create a supportive environment where people feel heard, respected, and empowered to move forward.
