Hello and congratulations on making the first step towards your new journey! My name is Charnell Benjamin-Carter. I’m a born again Christian and licensed mental health counselor practicing for over 14 years now. I graduated from Nova Southeastern University and completed my Internship at Hyde Park Counseling Center, an Inpatient Residential Facility for women specializing in Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse. My advanced training in Trauma Informed Care and Addictions is beneficial to healing and restoring the family unit. If you have been having problems in your relationship, I’m sure you’ve received lots of advice from friends, family and maybe even other counselors and wondering why things still seem broken. For years counselors have taught couples to "fight fair" and have active listening skills. While these tools are helpful, it’s not just that simple. I believe in addressing not only the symptoms, but the core issues. I use a multifaceted approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed, Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, Conflict Resolution and Family Systems among others. My professional training is backed by over 14 years of experience working with couples and families exploring our faith, reducing depression & anxiety, exploring what makes relationships work, how to navigate through rough times and repair from trauma and infidelity. I apply some of the same principles taught in the 12 Step Program to treat addictions adding insight on the Disease Model of Addiction. I have assisted individuals and families for over 14 years, and I would like to help you!

I am a person-centered therapist who believes in the potential in each individual. I have worked with individuals from highly varied backgrounds and work to see the potential for growth in each person. I have experience teaching, training, and providing therapy for individuals of all ages. I help largely through helping people find their motivation, self-worth, and potential in order to solve issues ranging from past traumas to current dilemmas. Through my career to this point I have been trained in Motivational Interviewing, Mediation, Thinking for Change, and Clinical Hypnosis. In session I also use techniques ranging from CBT, Adlerian psychology, and more. My experience has often involved individuals struggling with severe mental illness, substance use/alcohol use disorders, trauma, PTSD, and domestic violence. I have also done work with individuals working on parenting skills for typically developing children as well as those with developmental/intellectual delays. I am married and we have two sons.

Thank you for reaching out! I am a general psychologist and licensed clinical therapist with over 25 years of experience and three years on BetterHelp. I was born and raised in Central New Jersey, enjoying the seasons, playing tennis, and vacationing in Florida. Friends asking for advice led to a career in psychology/social work, which was a good fit. After college and graduate school, I moved to Chicago and, ironically, to South Florida! I am Jewish, married for 30 years, and have three children, ages 25, 22, and 19. My lived experiences in a variety of circumstances allow me to be a very empathetic therapist: Relationships, friendships, spectrum issues, loss, illness, motivation, relational bullying, sociopathy, self-esteem, empowerment/self-strengthening, family issues, career concerns, and sports psychology. At 23, my tennis racket was traded in for figure skates: I have been skating ever since at the Silver Ladies Freestyle Level, in addition to testing in Silver Dance. My approach combines guidance and support, motivating others to make life changes while exploring the inner self. Life is full of hills and valleys and sometimes a steep climb. I provide a different vantage point and insight to begin the journey of change. Each of us is unique, and our therapeutic pathway reflects that individuality. I enjoy helping clients become motivated to make life changes while exploring their inner selves. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with relationship difficulties, parenting, self-esteem and self-empowerment struggles, goal management, career goals/issues, familial concerns, grief and loss, psychopathy, and manipulative tactics within relationships. I take an eclectic approach and enjoy integrating different treatment modalities into sessions to adhere to the individual needs of the client: Psychodynamic; EMDR (I am EMDR trained), Couples therapy (Gottman Level 1); Systemic, Insight-Oriented, Solution-based, Narrative, Rogerian-Strength-based, Emotion Focused Couples Therapy, Vulnerability Cycle Approach, Emotion Focused and Client Focused Therapies, and Cognitive-Behavioral. My specialty is relationships, boundaries, change, organization, and self-control. By helping individuals learn how to respond to others and daily stresses in a healthy way, I help them live happier, more fulfilling lives. I take a client-centered approach to assisting clients to gain clarity, perspective, and self-esteem so they can be their best versions. I particularly enjoy working with couples, helping them communicate and reflect on themselves, each other, and their relationship. Men and women often have very different perceptual styles. Understanding these differences and how to approach and embrace these unique aspects helps couples become stronger and more unified. If you do not see a time on the scheduler that accommodates you, it does not mean that I cannot do a specific time for you. I often schedule "by appointment" significantly earlier in the day and on weekends. I also utilize a sincere approach, so if you desire to be lulled into a false sense of security, I am not the therapist for you. Quotes: "Who is afraid of the wolf does not go into the forest."

My therapeutic approach combines mindfulness first and foremost, with cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment, solution focused therapeutic modalities. You will always be an active player in your own treatment. Your treatment plan will consist of agreed upon goals that are tailored to your specific needs and desires.

I am licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 5 years of professional work experience. My experience comes from providing direct mental health and career counseling for teens and adults with a variety of presenting issues including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, career difficulties, & depression. I offer a safe and friendly environment for all who are motivated to find inner peace, healing, and GROWTH. It is evident through psychological research and through our own experiences that our thoughts, above our physical circumstances, can become our biggest obstacles in life. While I do my best to tailor my style to each individual client's unique experience the style of therapy I utilize most is called Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). REBT is a form of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). It uses mindful awareness to help you identify the thoughts behind the choices you are making in a rational manner. I can help you learn the A B Cs of how our thoughts affect our feelings. We will work together to identify those irrational beliefs that cause us pain and stress so you can minimize dysfunctional feelings and get back to living a meaningful and fulfilling life. My experience is varied, and across settings, as I have provided individual and group therapy in community mental health agencies, school settings, and treatment facilities. I believe that our relationships and our environment are important pieces to what makes us who we are and I look forward to exploring those with you as we build a therapeutic relationship, built on compassion, respect, and openness. I appreciate the courage that it takes to reach out and work towards a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both New York and Florida, with over 27 years of experience in counseling, personal development, and mental health coaching. I approach our work together from a collaborative, strength-based perspective on mental wellness. My practice focuses on a whole-person model of care, emphasizing dignity, respect, sensitivity, and choice. I intentionally avoid stigmatizing labels and deficit-focused language, fostering a safe, non-judgmental environment where growth and healing can happen. I help adults navigating major life transitions overcome feelings of anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, self-sabotaging thoughts, or limiting beliefs. Through compassionate, person-centered care, I offer practical strategies to rebuild confidence and gain clarity. Sessions are not just about talking but about developing skills and designing actionable steps toward conflict resolution, increased self-awareness of unhelpful thoughts & patterns of behavior, and decreasing negative self-talk. Together, as a team, we will create a personalized plan for meaningful growth, self-acceptance, and lasting transformation.
