About me
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience working with couples. My experience includes working with premarital couples preparing for their upcoming weddings, newlyweds who are trying to get their footing in that new season of their lives, as well as those who may have been together for years and who find themselves struggling in a marriage that isn't what they hoped and dreamed it would be. I believe strongly in the importance of healthy communication and much of my work involves teaching those skills as well as sharing important principles and explaining ways to create a happier and healthier relationship that will satisfy both spouses, despite any hurt and problems that may have been present in the marriage prior to reaching out for help.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is eclectic and includes cognitive-behavioral, paradoxical, empathic listening and family of origin work. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet each spouse's unique and specific needs, working to find a pace that both challenges them to reach the goals they desire to achieve, while also helping them to feel heard, understood and as comfortable as possible.
It takes a great deal of courage to reach out for help in order to have a more fulfilling and happier marriage and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take those steps, I am excited to help support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cheryl Salas. 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.
Cheryl has been a Godsend to us and she has helped save our marriage. She is compassionate and has a lot of tools that have helped us think and act differently which have enabled us to be better partners. My husband and I were at a rough point in our marriage and she has helped us fall in love all over again. I most appreciate that Cheryl has been through the same rut in her marriage previously and was able to work through it so she not only understands where we are coming from but she is proof that it can be done. We are so lucky to have found her.
Cheryl listens, understands, and provides us with so many tools. Shes our cheerleader and someone we trust and always look forward to talking to!
Very personable, focuses on togetherness and the problem
I feel comfortable speaking with her- she listens and gives both sides the chance to share and the advice is helping my marriage
Cheryl is great at helping us redirect and think differently. Positive thoughts!
Cheryl helped my fiancee and I really start our marriage off on the right foot, especially working with tools focused on communication and being open with each other. Cheryl offers a wonderful faith-based approach that really helped us feel closer. We’d highly recommend her for any couple looking for premarital counseling. Thank you so much!
It’s hard to find someone who understands the sacrament of marriage. Cheryl did and knew what I needed.
Cheryl uses personal examples and is very helpful.
I have met with Cheryl 3 times now, and have really appreciated her approach. She has taught me a new way of communicating, that was effective and beneficial. She is kind, understanding, passionate, and skilled.
I would highly recommend Cheryl Salas.
Very insightful and great encouragement
You're awesome
Cheryl is very knowledgeable and a great listener. She knows how to guide our counseling sessions and provide us with applicable exercises to strengthen communication and problem-solving. She has a gentle approach, but is passionate and assertive about helping people tackle their mental health challenges. I would highly recommend her services.
She is great,
My wife and I were neither in a good place, or bad place in our marriage. Just kinda stuck. Poor communication, on each other's nerves often, and very misunderstanding of each other's emotions. Cheryl has really opened our eyes, and and hearts. She has helped us love each other again. When I thought we were certainly on a road leading to separation, Cheryl has shown us a detour that we are happy to take. I'd recommend her to anyone. Whether you have faith in God or not, she can appeal to you. My wife loves her, and she's a optimistic agnostic!
Cheryl, thank you for all you were teaching. I was looking forward to speaking with you again. This was not a decision discussed between us.
