Sonya S. Carter, LCSW, LICSW, BCTP-II, CCM

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of mental health experience (18 years providing psychotherapy).  I have supported children, adults, and families  across a wide range of settings (community mental health, Private Practice, Hospice, Behavioral Health Inpatient) and with a wide range of clinical needs.

My educational journey began at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I later completed my Master of Social Work (MSW) through the Joint Master of Social Work Program (JMSW), a Council on Social Work Education (CSWE)-accredited advanced generalist program between North Carolina A&T State University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

I graduated with my MSW in 2005, which provided a strong foundation for serving individuals, families, and communities in  health and mental health of clinical settings.

My journey to becoming a mental health therapist began with a deep commitment to helping individuals and families navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the incredible resilience of the people I serve and the profound impact that compassionate, evidence-based care can have on healing.

I am a Board Certified Telehealth Professional (Level II) through Telehealth.org, reflecting my commitment to delivering ethical, effective, and accessible care through virtual platforms.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the District of Columbia. I am also authorized to provide telehealth services in South Carolina.
