About Cheryl Nelson

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri with over 20 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients for a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have also helped many clients with chronic illnesses including HIV/AIDS.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines client centered, solution focused and strengths based counseling to meet your needs.

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 support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

“I cannot express how much I enjoy my counseling sessions with Cheryl. She is professional, a great listener and offers wise guidance. I highly recommend Cheryl as a therapist.”

“Cheryl is amazing. She is wise and gives the best advice I need in the moment.”

“This is my first time doing therapy and Cheryl is amazing! She gives the best advice and I love how she inserts God in our conversations! I 100% recommend her!”

“I stop and start therapy. I love and look forward to coming back to my therapist, Cheryl Nelson. A true blessing in my life. She’s been very helpful to me. I highly recommend her as a therapist to other Christian women. Very knowledgeable and dependable.”

“Such a sweet and knowledgeable person, she really feels like a companion and guidance through the ups and the downs! Would 110% recommend to anyone.”

“Cheryl is such a positive and warm presence. She takes my needs into account and offers sound advice and good guidance/tools. Would recommend her highly to anyone!”

“I cannot say enough good and positive things about my therapist, Cheryl Nelson. God knows who we need, what we need and when we need it. I thank God for bringing her in my path. She has incredible wisdom. That’s because she has a relationship with God. If you want the truth then Cheryl is your person but if you’re not quite ready for the truth Cheryl is still your person. Nothing happens by coincidence. Even you reading this review.”

“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 truly a gem”

“A therapist who has stuck with me through thick and thin. She always actively listens to me and offers helpful solutions with a different perspective.”

“Cheryl has been a true blessing in my life. She reminds me of my Momma, may she rest in peace. She listens well, offers encouragement but foremost she prays with and for me. I lost my Momma long before she left this earth in June of this year. My mother was a God-fearing woman and an intercessor in prayer. When I couldn’t pray for myself, I was thankful my Momma was praying for me. I thank God for Cheryl because when I can’t pray for myself because I’m going through something the Holy Spirit puts me on her mind. I have confidence that she’s interceding on my behalf to our Heaven Father. That’s the kind of therapy I need most. I’ve grown so much as a woman, mother, teacher and now a wife since I began therapy with Cheryl. I thank God for her. I don’t have to see her all the time. That’s how much I’ve grown. I check in with her because I want her to see that God is hearing and answering her prayers for me and I’m not ready to cutoff my sounding board either. We all need one!”

“She is the best therapist I’ve matched with so far. She is a great listener and gives me many options and exercises to help me. <br /> I also appreciate how she sends me affirmations when I need them, but also understands when I am in need for some space. Cannot recommend her enough.”

“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 love my therapist, Cheryl. I appreciate how she listens and gives me a different perspective. I appreciate the no judgement free zone. I would strongly recommend her to others.”

“Cheryl is very easy to talk to , she gives a clear perspective for each problem . I was not sure able what help looked like until I spoke with Cheryl. I feel like I'm in a safe space to share my grief and my varied emotions. I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone needing a kind ear.”
