Women’s History Month Spotlight: KaRae N. Carey Posted on March 23, 2012November 26, 2018 By Dangerous Lee Name and occupation: My name is Ka Rae’ N. Carey. My occupations are wife, daughter, friend, stepmother, licensed professional counselor and clinical addictions specialist What do you love most about being a woman? I love the flexibility and freedom being a woman affords me to be creative on a daily basis with my appearance. I can choose long pants, short pants, long skirts, short skirts, make up, no make up, and the hair possibilities are endless! Have you had to deal with much sexism in your industry? The helping profession is female dominated so there is not much sexism to encounter in the profession. Do you belong to any organizations catered to women business owners? I am a member of the National Association of Professional Women, and the Women’s Business Center in Durham, NC. Who or what inspires you most? I am inspired most by my mother and husband. My mother inspires me with her remarkable ability to make miracles with minimal resources, and never ending confidence in me. My husband inspires me with his awesome gift of calm in any storm, and the ability to help people see the positive side in the most dire of circumstances. Something about you that would surprise us: At Work: In my clinical practice I have three “co-therapists”, two turtles and a hamster! They do a great job in helping my younger clients talk about “tough stuff”. When I am not at Work: I have endless energy when I am dancing. I am an avid dancer with talent in many varying styles including Latin, ballroom, and urban styles. Advice for women entrepreneurs: I would advise them to not be afraid to follow their dreams and to surround themselves with people who will support their dreams.
