About me

I am licensed in Arkansas with 30 years of professional work experience. For the past 25 years or so I have provided couples therapy as well as premarital counseling.

I specialize in relationship issues, and can work with people individually or as a couple. I will work very hard to help you improve your relationship, but I will also be very direct with you so that we can reduce the size of your blind spot. I have limited success with couples who are dealing with infidelity, and do not have the training or experience to help couples with physical intimacy issues.

I am happy to offer suggestions and advice, but I do not tell people what decisions they should make about their relationships. If everyone else says quit but you want to make a relationship work, I will hang in there with you.

I check messages throughout the day, so I am particularly good at getting back to people in a very short amount of time. Reach out to me and I we’ll take a first step and see how it goes.

Reviews

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

Dr Guinee is very easy to talk to. He challenges us in a way that is gentle and considerate. It's early days, but I have a lot of confidence in him so far.

James has created a space for our couple to open up, improve our communications and talk over sensitive topics in a way that has been a game-changer. James is a great listener, rapidly understands the problem at stake and can translate someone’s feelings articulately. We always felt in a trusted environment where we weren't afraid to be judged, which is the most essential thing in counselling. Thank you, James.

Dr. Guinee is pleasant to work with. He listens to my concerns and problems and helps me find the answers within myself to handle difficult situations. He genuinely cares about his patients and wants to see them succeed in life and be happy. He will work with your schedule and make you feel like you matter. My wife and I highly recommend Dr. Guinee.
