My name is Cheryl Musson and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I graduated from the University of Illinois in 1999, so I have been working in this field for many years. While in college, I dedicated myself to a 2 year commitment to AmeriCorps, which is a national program assisting populations in the United States, similar to the Peace Corps overseas. After graduation, I worked in several community mental health centers. I have experience working with military families providing intensive in-home therapy on base. I worked within the primary school system providing services to children from early childhood through high school. For the last 15 years, I have worked as the clinical supervisor in the behavioral division of a major health insurance company, so I am familiar with the link between physical and mental health. I am an open and non-judgmental person and that carries over into my professional practice. I have been told that I am easy to talk too and non-threatening. I am a strong woman, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother and Nonna to my grandchildren. I believe that laughter is good medicine and hugs are healing. If you choose to work with me, we will be utilizing some solution focused therapy methods. This approach focuses less on the presenting problems and more on finding solutions that meet your needs. Since you are the expert on you, we will work as a team, like the dynamite duo. Successful therapy always starts with a relationship. I will provide a safe place for us to develop that connection based on trust and mutual respect. We will identify your current strengths/skill set and together establish goals that are achievable. I look forward to working with you and getting you on the path to living your best life!

About Me I’m committed to the art of living, and to living what the ancient philosophers called the good life. I believe we all have the capacity to live the good life, or a meaningful life. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals locate and cultivate their personal meaning. Meaning can be found in both joy and suffering. I practice holding a perspective that allows me to accept and appreciate what is—all of it—without judgement. I’m learning to embrace what Ram Dass calls the horrible beauty—that is, the horror and beauty in all of life. My work as a therapist consistently brings me face to face with undeniable pain and suffering. Equally undeniable is the absolute beauty that I’m witness to on a regular basis. To ignore the suffering is negligence, and to disregard the beauty is reckless. Who I Serve I serve youth in foster care, teens in the juvenile justice system, individuals in recovery, couples in crisis, families in distress, teens finding their way, identity crisis/spiritual emergency, Veterans, individuals in hospice, as well as those journeying with depression/sadness, suicidal ideation, anxiety/fear, grief, PTSD, and inner voices. I also work with creatives who feel stuck. I’m particularly sensitive to individuals who have a history in the psychiatric/psychotherapy system, and who feel like they’ve been wronged. I’ll not defend “the system”; instead, I’ll help you articulate, explore, and move through your grievances. My Style Through my therapy experience, I’ve found that relationships are central to mental/holisitic health. Healthy social connections produce wholesome people and communities, while social disconnection is at the root of most suffering. We’re evolutionarily and neurologically wired to connect—to ourselves, to one another, and to our surroundings. While I am neither healer nor savior, I am committed to helping individuals navigate their own healing journeys. Through the use of co-regulation, empathy, curiosity, deep listening, the “here and now”, mind-body awareness, flow, and spontaneity, I develop synergistic relationships with my clients. A positive therapeutic relationship is the basis for good outcomes. And, as a bona fide community social worker, I take special interest in power dynamics and their impact on individual and community well-being. While I strongly believe in an individual’s capacity to overcome against all odds, I’m not blind to the harsh realities of systemic oppressions, and how the loss personal agency leads to inner turmoil.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Winnemucca area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Winnemucca therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Winnemucca due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Winnemucca may not take health insurance, some in the state of Nevada may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Nevada you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Winnemucca?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Winnemucca therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Winnemucca therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Winnemucca therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in NV, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 89445 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Winnemucca counselor?

Before seeing your Winnemucca therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Winnemucca therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Winnemucca licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Winnemucca counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Winnemucca, Nevada can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Winnemucca has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
