About me
Hello and congratulations on making the first step towards you 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, what makes relationships work, restoring intimacy in marriage, 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 couples for over 14 years, and I would like to help you!

Therapist Charnell has been a therapeutic support for our personal and professional relationships
Charnell takes a very unbiased and solutions-based approach to counseling. She is able to help couples refocus on the main issues, and stop clinging onto the insignificant details. Her questions direct couples to do a lot of inner reflection, and searching within themselves. She has been very helpful for my partner and I in navigating our issues, and taking on new perspectives.
I’ve had a few sessions so far with Charnell and it’s been going great. Me and my partner both feel very comfortable with her and she understands our needs and helps us better ourselves as a couple.
Charnell is really just wonderful. Can't recommend her enough as a relationship therapist.
Charnell has been lovely to me and my partner. She has helped us reGain trust and build a foundation for forgiveness in our relationship. She is attentive and asks the right questions. Totally recommend
Charnell is absolutely amazing. She has profited balanced support for me and my partner, and we’re feeling better utilising the tools we go through in our sessions. She listens carefully and encourages us to dig deeper in order to unpack what the root issues are, and work through them. I would recommend Charnell in a heartbeat
So far the experience has been rewarding and mostly helpful. I'm still progressing and getting used to seeking help so this is my best description.
Wonderful experience, learned so much about myself and techniques that I can apply to live a healthier life. Our therapist was amazing listened to us and really helped us dig deep and see the root.
Charnell is insightful, professional, and endures to provide the best level of care and understanding. Bring with Carmelo for 11 months and have grown so much as a result. Thank you Charnell.
Ms.Benjamin is the best
Wonderful therapist.
Charnell effortlessly employs various professional resources to deliver the most effective sessions. While she guides us to reason in the most empowering way, she’s got a safe mom-like shoulder my partner and I have leaned on lately.
