About me

I'm a couple's therapist with over 20 years of experience. I have experience working with married couples, knowing that reaching out for help is not always easy. I am an open-ended listener who gives you the opportunity to express yourself in a nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help couples move forward in whatever aspect of their relationship. I'm here to help couples grow in every aspect, as I know being vulnerable is not always easy, I offer my support and aid. Couples counseling is not always easy there is a lot of emotions that are brought up during this time. I know how frustrating it can be to do couples therapy however, I want you to know that you are not alone and that I work for each person to be heard.

I hope to meet you soon!

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

Having this be my first couple therapy experience, I have to say this has been highly positive. I felt heard, understood, and encouraged. Because of Darlene, I got the opportunity to communicate and understand my partner better. Something we were genuinely lacking. Thank you for helping us, guiding us, and laughing with us even as we go through the rough conversations. I really appreciate you.

Darlene is amazing. She listens extremely well and dives deep into our issues when brought up and remembers our problems throughout numerous sessions and keeps up with our progress. She checks in on us and makes sure we are on track to a healthier relationship and even if she doesn’t understand some of the concepts that we go through with our daily routine, she attempts to learn and understand what our interests our to help our family dynamic.
