Therapists in Sunny Isles Beach, FL

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!

My name is Nusrat Karim, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I graduated with my Master's from Florida International University. My life’s goal is to end mental health stigma wherever I go, and to help bring awareness in the communities I work in and with the individuals that I work with. I strongly believe that therapy is to help someone get through a difficult experience, and to help individuals and families heal in the process. My main therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral health, but I also like to use person centered therapy, brief solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and I like to incorporate mindfulness in my practice. I have experience working with both adults and youth. I have experience working with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger management, adjustment disorder, poor coping skills and social skills. 

I am able to build good rapport quickly, and I have been told by others that I have good communication skills. I am able to actively listen without judgement, show empathy and be honest with others. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

When working with my clients, I like to build a strong therapeutic rapport to gather a clear understanding of the client’s needs, goals they want to work on and/or issues they want to address in therapy, barriers to progression in therapy, and objectives to reaching their therapeutic goals. My philosophy is working with each client is that I am here to help you. My hope is that I work with you, helping you understand where you are in the process of change, motivate you to move towards the next stage, assist you throughout the therapeutic process, and we move at your pace. The client’s progression in the therapeutic process is to understand and acknowledge that, to a large degree, a successful treatment outcome depends on the amount of energy and effort the client makes.
