About me

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over twenty years of providing counseling and psychological help to individuals from a diverse background, with varying beliefs and issues. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree in a triple major to include psychology, sociology and theology. I dual tracked Masters work in Marriage and Family therapy while completing a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have certifications as a School Psychologist in California and South Carolina and a School Administrator's certification in California. I have a deep personal faith but value all persons regardless of their belief systems. I have studied and mastered many different treatment approaches however I have found the most effective treatment approach is that which best fits each individual client. For that reason, I am always very interested to learn which approach each client thinks best. I approach all clients with a deep respect and a person-centered tenet of unconditional positive regard.

While working toward a Masters in Marriage and Family Psychology I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of couples on a wide variety of issues. I find working with couples to successfully resolve relationship issues is extremely rewarding. I look forward to working with you!

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

I just started my journey with Dr. Nelson
Just started my therapy journey with the mindset to stick to it. I gave this site a shot and paid for a week... I had two busts for a therapist... No fault of theirs. Just wasnt a good fit. And talking with Dr. Nelson for even just 30 minutes i am not comitted to this site and feel excited about my therapy. Get to know this man. He has a dedicated history to helping people.. And some cool things hes done in his lifetime. Im excited to work on myself and my relationship with this amazing Dr.
