About me
My focus in relationship counseling is on improving communication and problem-solving skills, understanding relationship patterns, increasing empathy and emotional engagement towards one another, which, in turn, improves the sense of connection between partners.
Most couples come to me seeking hope, healing, and repair of a relationship that has experienced some damage and distress. We can work on healing your relationship and learning better ways for you to connect and feel heard and valued. But some people seek couples counseling because they need help disengaging from a relationship with kindness and care. They want to separate in a way that allows them to be good to one another. This is something I can also help with. Some clinicians feel that all relationships must be saved. I recognize that sometimes relationships need to end or transition into a friendship or something else.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Benita Tonti. 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.
She listened to me and understood me.
Kind and open. Easy to talk to.
Benita has worked with my significant other and I for the past few weeks and so far we are extremely pleased with her knowledge, expertise, and therapy methods. She has always responded in a timely manner and has used every moment of our sessions productively. You can tell that she is not here for the paycheck and that her heart is in it to help others. She has been a huge help in strengthening our relationship and we are looking forward to our continued therapy with her!
Benita is a great counselor to work with. She has made this process so much easier than I anticipated and it has been more rewarding than I expected. I was very opposed to counseling as I'm a private person. Working with Benita has not only changed my views on counseling but has also helped my husband and I communicate better and work towards our marriage goals together as a team instead of individually while amongst each other. I HIGHLY recommend her as a counselor. She's professional, a good listener, and she explains (in a nonjudgmental way) how each situation experienced is viewed by each person differently without taking sides by offering an understanding/ point of view that you might not have thought of initially. Very helpful! Thank you so much.
Benita is very personable and easy to talk to. My partner and I have gained very valuable insight from her expertise. Highly recommend!
