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

Kristen shows incredible empathy in her sessions. She was skilled in de-escalating any arguments between my husband and me. Her kind demeanor was very inviting, and I felt comfortable and at ease sharing with her.

The information that has been shared with us from Kristen has been eye opening, she has been fair in her speech when addressing us in the chats and has not shown to have taken sides but is showing us how to work together. She has also provided each of us validation for how we are feeling with understanding. I feel heard for the first time in a long time. Dealing with a separation, has been difficult to navigate, but her words are making it easier to handle.

Kirsten has been very warm, understanding and approachable, from the start myself and my husband felt very comfortable in sharing our situation. Kirsten listened to us and teased out key factors for us to work on, she supported us with worksheets and reflection practices to help me and my husband work on some of our most troubling aspects of ourselves. We’ve overcome some difficulties from the past and present which is allowing us to be more open and understanding with each other. We’ve been together over 30 years and I’m confident we’ll go another 30!! Thanks to Kirsten for helping us on our journey. Definitely recommend Kirsten and will contact her again should we need further guidance. Thank you Kirsten for helping us clear away some of the clutter and helping to get back to wanting to be together!!

Kristen is objective, listens well, and provides her opinion on the matter. She tries to see all sides of a problem and provides very relevant exercises. Her worksheets helped me think differently about the matter.
