About me
Let’s face it, relationships take work. They can be amazing, they can be fun, they can be scary, they can be so many things. As a couples clinician I take time to get to know the specific couple I am working with. I learned long ago, the only people who know what is happening in their relationship is those in that relationship.
From an outside perspective I work to understand as much as possible from each persons experience to help guide them to a better place in their relationship. Communication, infidelity, mental health, changing needs, finances, and so much more can have an impact on relationships. Having an outside perspective and guide, with tools, exercises, and empathy can make an immense difference in how you interact with your partner(s).
I have worked with a diverse range of relationships including but not limited to, heterosexual, gay, and polyamorous. Every relationship that wants to work towards being better together deserves that chance and I would love to help you to that goal.
I have been a clinician for 8 years now, I have worked in groups, inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, residential, and private practice. I am here to meet you where you’re at. I am open to text, phone, or video sessions based on your comfort level. I hope to meet you and work with you soon.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Allison Kacmar. 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.
Allison is very knowledgeable in her profession, but can also make everything relatable. She is a great listener, but also knows the right questions to ask even when you don’t have the right words. I really enjoy having Allison as my counselor, and highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance.
