About me
Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.
As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 25 years of experience. I establish trust and rapport with many diverse populations. I specialize in working with persons with serious mental illness and their families. I also work with transition age youth who are on the spectrum. In addition, I am a Vocational Counselor so I can assist with job-related issues. I am well versed in Social Security regulations and assisting people with obtaining benefits. My familiarity with the Americans With Disabilities Act puts me in a uniquely qualified position to help the disabled population. As a therapist I am familiar with assisting families with setting up NYS Trusts for persons with special needs which can save individuals thousands of dollars and allow them to become Medicaid eligible.
I am located in the USA in the Eastern Standard Time Zone. I work here part time Monday-Friday from 5:00PM-9:00PM EST and some weekend hours. Most clients enjoy a combination of message based communication that is not in real time along with regular weekly live sessions by video (not Skype), or cell phone. I try very hard to respond to a client the same day I receive a message.
In Couples' Counseling, I first meet with the partners individually and then bring the couple together focusing on their strengths.
I then help them to discover what brought them together initially, help them to realize their goals as a team, and give them tools to communicate more effectively.
If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
"At the end of the day, you can either focus on what's tearing you apart, or you can focus on what's keeping you together."

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cheryl Pacione. 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.
We have just started working with Cheryl, but find her to be a good listener and has offered some insightful suggestions already.
Cheryl Listens and Cares. shes clear and sincere.
She listens to both parties very well and is helpful in helping define issues.
