About me

As a licensed therapist in California with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate issues like depression, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns with compassionate, personalized care.

I focus on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding and healthier relationship patterns. My therapeutic approach addresses a wide range of experiences, including workplace stress, midlife transitions, women's issues, caregiver challenges, and healing from difficult life experiences like divorce, domestic violence, and interpersonal conflicts.

My work is grounded in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, develop stronger communication skills, and rediscover their sense of purpose and self-worth. I'm committed to walking alongside you as you build resilience, practice self-compassion, and create meaningful personal growth.

Reviews

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

Written on Jun 30, 2026 after therapy with Cheryl for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning relationship

Strongly recommend. Cheryl Rouse is an amazing therapist. She really understands what your concerns are and actively helps you rather than just letting you talk in circles. You will actually see progress assuming you’re putting in the work which is unfortunately not always the case with other therapists.
