Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Darlene Groomes. 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.

this was my first experience with therapy, and she has made the process very easy and comfortable to adjust to. Dr. Groomes is knowledgeable, professional, and truly takes the time to understand my concerns and personal situations. She makes me feel heard, supported, and understood. She has provided valuable guidance and insight that I truly needed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and professional therapist that talks to your level.

Dr. Groomes is very directly which I always appreciate. She explains things very well and always offers additional resources to help connect deeper understandings. She holds growth at a high level of importance during every session and encourages a mental framework that is helpful in therapy but also makes a significant difference to all areas of life.

Dr. Groomes is honestly amazing. She’s super knowledgeable but explains things in a way that actually makes sense and feels relatable. She’s funny, easy to talk to, and creates a comfortable, relaxed vibe. I never feel judged or awkward. If anything, it feels like I’m just talking to a friend who really gets it. I also love that she keeps it real and isn’t overly formal, which makes our sessions feel more genuine and less clinical. She’s been wonderful for our couples therapy journey and is really helping to heal our relationship. Highly recommend if you want someone who’s both professional and down-to-earth.
