Reviews

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

Written on Feb 19, 2024 after therapy with Bruce for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Bruce is a great listener and understands the support and help my partner and I need. I noticed how wise and professional he is right away, while also super down to earth. His quick responses and flexibility have been something that I am not used to but is greatly appreciated!

Work with me!
