About me
I am a licensed clinical social worker in California who has worked with many couples over the past 30+ years, addressing issues of trust, stress, grief, and communication patterns. I believe in being strength based, creating a safe container for both individuals to express their concerns and establishing ground rules to be heard. I work collaboratively with couples in developing goals. My eclectic therapeutic approach includes the traditional modalities of solution-focused, mindfulness of self and other, cognitive behavioral, family systems and psychodynamic. I enjoy the dynamism and energy of couples. Each person brings their history into the relationship which sometimes creates enormous challenges. I encourage a deeper compassion for each other as we work to understand and resolve the challenges in the relationship.
If you are ready to take the step to ask for help with your relationship, I would be humbled to hear from you and begin the therapeutic process of reaching your goals.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Charlene Selsvold. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
My husband and I have already recommend Charlene to another couple. She is outstanding!
She is easy to talk to and able to tune in to what we need to gain/work on through therapy. Its only our second session, but im feeling optimistic.
Charlene has been very good for us. She is very professional and never comes across as judgmental in any way. She is also empathetic and never seems to “take sides” when discussing our issues. Overall I can’t say enough good things about her.
Charlene was given a challenge taking on my husband and I as we have been through a lot and some really challenging situations that some other counselors were not comfortable helping. I appreciate her calm and non judgmental approach to speaking with us both and would highly recommend her.
Professional, timely, over all a good experience.
