Counseling Practice – Transformation Counseling, Inc.
Established in January 2020, Transformation Counseling, Inc. is a private outpatient counseling practice in Prattville, Alabama. The practice is designed for clients ages 15 and older who are addressing mild to moderate brain health and mental health concerns in an individual outpatient setting.
The primary clinician is L. Melissa Carlisle Golden, whose credentials are listed on the site as MAMFC, Th.M., NBCC, LPC, and Ph.D. The practice states that she brings over 10 years of clinical practice experience to her work with clients. Presenting concerns addressed include anxiety, depression, toxic stress, mood instability, and the processing of difficult recent or past life events. The range of concerns served reflects the practice’s focus on common, non-crisis mental health presentations that benefit from structured outpatient support.
Transformation Counseling operates from a Christian counseling philosophy. The website is explicit that all spiritual beliefs and values are respected and that a Christian faith background is not required for clients to receive services at the practice. This framing is intended to make clear that clients from a variety of backgrounds are welcome.
Services consist of individual outpatient, in-person counseling sessions. Online session formats are considered on an as-needed basis. The practice explicitly identifies itself as not a crisis counseling center, directing individuals experiencing mental health emergencies to contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and/or 911. This distinction is communicated on the website to help prospective clients identify the appropriate level of care before making contact.
Specific clinical modalities such as CBT, EMDR, or DBT are not detailed in the publicly available page content. Insurance acceptance, session fees, and direct contact information including phone and email are also not included on the public pages. The practice’s age restriction of 15 and older, combined with its outpatient-only structure and explicit non-crisis framing, indicates a focused scope designed for clients who can safely engage in weekly outpatient therapy. Prospective clients are directed to reach the practice through the website to initiate the intake process. The Prattville, Alabama location places the practice in the Montgomery metro area.
