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.

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.

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.
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 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.
