Dr. Carla L. Stewart, NCC, LCPC, PEL:SC
CEO & Lead Counselor

I have been serving the community through mental health & wellness counseling and consulting for twenty years. I graduated from National Louis University with a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Behavioral Sciences and a Master of Science in Counseling. My studies culminated with the degree of Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision from Argosy University. I am also an Assistant Professor and the Campus Coordinator of the Master of Science in Counseling program at National Louis University Chicago Campus and was selected as the 2020-2021 Full-Time Faculty recipient of the Excellence in Teaching Award. 

I also hold several professional certifications and designations in the State of Illinois:

  • Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

  • Certified School Counselor

  • National Certified Counselor

  • Critical Incident Response Specialist

  • Early Intervention Specialist and Evaluator

To meet the mental health and wellness needs of the larger community, I established CLS Comprehensive Services, LLC in 2009. I coined the phrase that is the guiding principle of CLS: “The USE of Knowledge is Power”. I am committed to assisting my clients in using the knowledge they gain to create the life they desire and deserve!
