About me
I am a licensed clinical therapist who has worked extensively with relationship related issues. I have counseled married couples as well as couples who are in relationships and are trying to work on the complicated issues that can be a part of trying to build or repair relationships. My work with couples began in my private practice which I started in 2007. Since then I have gotten referrals from many sources, including other couples who were able to benefit from my services. I have also worked with a respect for diversity among my clients who may be from different cultures or at various stages of life. I believe very strongly that when two people are committed to making their relationship work ,with each accepting responsibility for how they contribute to the problems and a willingness to work together, they can work through the many challenges that often occur in a relationship, including poor communication, lack of understanding each other's perspective, loss or lack of trust, infidelity, intimacy concerns, emotional or mental health issues either partner may have, or just feelings of incompatibility in the relationship due to different ideas related to parenting, financial concerns, independence and time spent together. If your relationship is built on a strong foundation and you are committed to doing the work a relationship can require, I am willing to work with you to make the decision you and your partner need to make to address the best interests of everyone involved .

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bernice Banks. 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.
Mrs. Banks has a calming and professional manner, which makes our sessions run smoothly. I look forward to our sessions and I leave with a variety of meaningful strategies.
Bernice has been very helpful and has been a great mediator making it easier to say what needs said. Very involved in seeing both sides.
Bernice gets 5 stars for response, communication, offering help, assistance, and satisfaction! We're headed in the right direction to fix and repair what has been broken.
