How do I sign up for Regain?

You can sign up for Regain by going to the Get Started page and answering a few brief questions. You’ll first be asked what type of therapy you’d like to sign up for:

  • Individual therapy
  • Couples therapy
  • Not sure yet (decide later)

Next, you can answer a few questions about why you’re seeking therapy and your preferences for finding a therapist who is right for you. 

How long does it take to get matched with a therapist?

Approximately 90% of clients are matched with a licensed therapist in as little as 48 hours. However, the exact matching process may depend on therapist availability and a person’s preferences for their therapist. 

Freedom to change therapists after the matching process

Some individuals or couples choose to switch therapists until they find someone with whom they feel comfortable working. With Regain, you can change therapists at any time at no additional cost as long as your subscription is active.
