About me

I really enjoy working with couples. As a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with 10 years of experience, I've worked with couples with a wide range of concerns, relationship and issues, and big life transitions. I have worked with couples who just want a healthier relationship.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. A foundational principle in my practice is that everyone is treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, Gestalt and trauma-focused counseling. I'm certified in Relationship Enhancement. I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek help when things are not going well. The first steps towards a change are often the hardest. If you are ready to take that step, I'm here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

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