My name is Dr. Carla D. Ray, DSW, LCSW. I am the Founder & Owner of New Beginnings Behavioral Health Counseling. My skills and areas of expertise include childhood, adolescent and adult Psychotherapy. I am credentialed as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a doctorate of social work (DSW). As a social worker, for the past 17 years, I have provided an array of social work services to include case management and psychiatric treatment. I hold a Master of Social Work in Mental Health and Substance Abuse through Fayetteville State University and Doctorate Degree in Social Work from Capella University.

I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and life transitions. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, developing coping skills, and working toward personal growth and healing.

I truly believe that no matter the circumstance, if you explore your mind, put your goals in writing, speak them out loud, and work for them intentionally and unapologetically, they will manifest.

My theme is " A Brighter Tomorrow Begins Today." If you are experiencing stress, relationship, spiritual, and/or health challenges, then it may just be time to contact a professional who has the sensitivity and experience to help you make changes in your life. My services at The Anderson Center for Health Wellness and Contempletative Thought are designed to fit the unique needs of the individual. My clinical interventions, based on current evidence-based practices, utilize an integrative biopsychosocial and spiritual perspective in optimizing health and psychological well–being.

I love working with people to discover their unique path to wholeness and healing together. I have a passion for helping people understand how they can be empowered to move towards a life of fullness, integrity and passion for themselves, and develop the belief that change is possible in whatever dysfunctional system of relationships or circumstances they find themselves in.

As a licensed clinical psychologist of over 17 years, I have worked with thousands of high performers, especially black women and BIPOC, by helping them uncover hidden issues that get in the way of true work-life balance and the ability to enjoy the life they worked hard to build. I’ve found that high performers, particularly black women, have difficulty with selfcare and are exhausted emotionally, physically, and mentally. Work-life balance is both a mystery and a necessity, so much so that some say that it doesn’t exist. I beg to differ. I'm not an average therapist and my clients aren't average in their respective careers either.
