About me

Couples counseling is about engaging in a relationship in an effective and respectful manner. The rules of engagement are straightforward and designed to increase understanding each other’s positions and to determine if the relationship can be saved or separation is inevitable. The individuals in a relationship problem use “I” statements and maintain composure. The only time it is effective to yell is if there is a tsunami or tornado coming. Once yelling starts, no one is being heard. We all change as we grow older and sometimes we grow apart. The goal of couples counseling is the rejuvenation of the relationship or a respectful separation. Harsh words rarely lead to good outcomes. A disengaged partner also is ineffective as is the one who blames the other for the problems. It is all about being honest to ourselves and to each other.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jonetta Wakely. 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.

While I’ve only been seeing Jonetta for a short time, I feel lucky to have her wisdom and compassion to help me navigate challenges in life. She is deeply empathetic and relatable.

Jonetta always listen carefully and offers great advice, she has helped me and my husband to learn how to communicate and consider each other’s point of view when there are differences.
