About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families to help resolve conflict, improve communication and increase trust. Adjusting to life challenges and changes can be scary. My passion for counseling is to create a safe and trusting environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. I combine a client centered, solution focused and strengths based approach to support and empower you.

It takes courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to help you.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cheryl Nelson. 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.

Cheryl is the best. She is so calm, she is so collected. She is the one that believed in us when no one else did - especially at our darkest darkest times. We have a long way to go, but we would never have gotten this far without Cheryl's guidance.

Cheryl is caring compassionate and understanding. We wouldn't have made it this far without her. We aren't there yet. But she's making sure we have a long and healthy life together.

I’ve never had therapy before and Cheryl has made it easy. I was expecting a more medical-style detached experience, but her genuine compassion is something that made me relax straight away. And the fact that even though she must speak to many, many people each week, but when we pick up a week later, she remembers who I am, what I said last week and what I need from her and it’s a natural continuation of the previous week, it really makes me feel safe and a valued client.

So far we really like Dr. Nelson. We have only had one meeting but we are very pleased with her approach to our issues and look forward to our further visits and working with her to assist us further.
