Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Carl Pickel. 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 Oct 15, 2025 after therapy with Carl for 1 month on issues concerning relationship

Tom (Carl) understands us well, as individuals and our relationship dynamic. He creates a safe, comfortable environment to communicate and offers guidance and support that meets our needs and personalities.
