These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cartessa Smith. 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 is ver accepting and understanding of issues that me and my wife have had. She gives a wide range of advice to help the relationship.

Cartessa helped us stay together and figure out what our problems are. She knew, right away, the things we had to do differently. She gave us solutions that worked. I am so grateful to her for saving our relationship. She is so kind and compassionate, not judgemental.
We live in a rural area and haven't had good experiences with local therapists. This app is such a good idea.
Bless you, Cartessa! We'll get in touch if we need your help again. Thank you again. R and A
