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 17 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 17 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 17 years, and I would like to help you!

Charnell is the best!!! I was scared of any kind of therapy and I needed it badly. She has helped me to begin releasing the pain of my past. I am a 60year old kid coming out of trauma and I know GOD had me wait for Charnell. I think about our conversations in many situations, and I have begun to see and do things differently. Thank you Charnell!!

I love having Charnell as my therapist. She has already helped me in so many ways and usually hits on things I need to work on the most. She has gone out of her way to assist me in any way possible. She even reads my "books" that I write in my journal and usually responds when possible. I am so thankful to have her in my life right now and she even uses verses in the Bible to further state things to me where I struggle.

Charnell has helped me change the ways I deal with my emotional health and communication issues. After two years with her, I have learned how to manage my emotions in a healthier manner, and I am a better communicator - I am less defensive and I know how to fight fair - in relationships and with work. I am eternally grateful she has helped me understand and practice coping skills for when I feel I am about to spiral - something I don't do anymore because of therapy. Thank you so much Charnell!

Charnell is the only therapist I’ve seen who can see through my malarkey. She cuts to the chase and tells it like it is. Charnell truly cares about her patients. I’ve never seen anything like it in all my years in and out of therapy. It is because of her that I’ve finally been able to achieve what I call sobriety after 15+ years. She works wonders.

When I found out I was pregnant and my boyfriend broke up with me, charnell went above and beyond to make sure I had all the support I needed. She has even assisted by directing couples therapy.

After just about half a year I am able to take a break from therapy because I feel my life on track again ever since Charnell helped me. It was a wide range of topics we covered: smoking, financials, boundaries, things I can and cannot change, religion, family, thinking positively. Her challenging my thought process has made me feel at ease that I can trust my own decision making and feel that I’m doing alright. I will probably come back for refreshers later on but at least for now, with her help, a difference in my life and my family’s life was made. Thank you Charnell for everything. May God bless you and I wish you all the best!

Charnell listens and puts a lot of thought and care into her responses. She even helps me stay accountable with my worksheets and homework. Likewise, she offers plenty of additional resources to read, look into, or even try, in order to help me learn more about myself, change my behaviors, or change my thoughts. Her experience, along with her ability to listen and help coach me through my problems, has helped me tremendously. Thank you Charnell!

I started journaling a couple of days before I was matched up with Charnell. I continued journalling.
Charnell had access to very word that showed how little self belief I had.
Charnell had access to my free flow narrative, which in turn took me by surprise how willing and open I was to express and show my vulnerabilities.
Charnell had access to my weirdness.
At the time of writing this I've had 2 sessions with Charnell, and I thought I was a weird complex character.
I am here to let go. I am here to honour my integrity, to respect her professionalism and time. I am here for validity and to find out how I can gain light within my darkness.
I believe I have opened up to the point where my weirdness can send people, practitioners, counsellors, therapists in a different direction. It is Charnell who has sent me in a different direction.
Charnell has read me so well.
Instead of me displaying my weirdness, Charnell has asked if I can embrace my uniqueness.
I am so grateful for Charnell.

I like Charnell very much. We get along great and I have no problem telling her anything I would like to discuss. She is very helpful with ideas and suggestions for me. I am just finishing up a hospital stay so I haven't spoken with her in a couple of weeks but I have a session today. when I am in the hospital I only speak to my family and closet friends. Charnell understood when I told her that and only offered me words of hope which helped. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone.
Thank You

Charnel Benjamin-Carter is very professional, punctual and responsive. I’m a relatively new client and can tell that she genuinely cares about her clients. She has a very calming presence that’s very understanding and at the same time challenges you to grow. I look forward to our counseling sessions and doing the necessary work with her help.

Charnell has been very helpful and understanding during my sessions. I almost immediately felt at ease speaking to her, being my first time I was very reluctant to start. But Charnell has helped create a comfortable environment and given me the tools to continue self improvement along with keeping the floor open to anything new I want to discuss. I used to be nervous before each session but I am becoming more comfortable with them thanks to her calming presence.

Like my counselor a lot. She listens, understanding when you can’t get the right words out like she can finish it for you. Very soft spoken so calms me down. Overall nice, respectful, great listener and helps you get through it with her skills and recommendations to help you get to another level and build from there. Very happy and pleased. Would recommend her to others.

I have worked with at least two other counsellors and Charnell has been the best. Her counselling methods have inspired me to gain valuable insights into my life in a way that I never expected. I am grateful for her.

Doctor Carter is real . My favorite thing about her is that she is upfront and gives me feedback with the truth even if it may not be what I may want to hear but perhaps what I need to hear. I have done counseling before and for me it is important to feel supported yet to learn because I can trust her feedback . She also checks up on me when I miss appointment. No other counselor has ever done that. I am very happy with Doctor Carter and would highly recommend her.

Charnell is a fantastic person to speak to. She has helped me during a time where my anxiety has manifested very acutely. She is an active listener who uses tools and CBT (in my case) to help you build a framework to support your own mental health. I would highly recommend working with her, thank you Charnell.

Charnell is absolutely amazing. I went through a few different counselors on this app and didn’t mesh with any of them but I clicked with her right away. I love that I can speak to her about anything and how knowledgeable she is, whether it be about relationships, family, work, religion, etc. I can tell her all aspects of my life and she is able to give me meaningful feedback that I can actually use. The advise she’s gives is realistic and practical. There are also times where we may not agree but she steps up and challenges me in a positive way. It’s been beneficial to my growth and I’m thankful for the relationship we have. Overall, my experience with her has been great.
