About me
I enjoy doing marital and premarital couples counseling, helping couples learn how to communicate more effectively and be kinder to each other. I also strive to help my clients in making meaning from adversity, feeling better about themselves and being better in relationships. Those who grow more quickly also enjoy learning and are open to honest but caring feedback.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for David M Poles. 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.
David has been thoughtful and firm in his counseling services. We’re so grateful for his depth of expertise and depth of passion for this work!
David is excellent! He is vert approachable. We feel he is very fair and helps us to discuss and resolve conflicts in our relationship. We really enjoy working with David.
I am very pleased with this experience, David help us navigate through our tough moments and give us feedback and strategies that helped us understand each other better.
David so far has been very respectable and easy to communicate with. His goals and strategies resonate with my husband and I very well, and help us look at approaching new topics and receiving results in a different light. We always look forward to speaking with him.
David is amazing!!! His approach is excellent! He listens, asks the right questions and offers great advise with perfect delivery. The resources he offers are life-changing!!! He has helped me grow in areas I wouldn't have thought possible. Saving my marriage while enjoying my new life. David is highly recommended!!!
I’m just in the beginning stages. But looking forward to our next visit. I have hope.
David has excellent interpersonal and interviewing skills. He is very direct and honest, which is truly helpful in conflict resolution and self-growth. He balances his questions between each partner, making sure each person is heard and listened to. Even in our excited and upset state, when we may interrupt one another from high-strung emotions, he gives space for the interrupter to speak or for the other person to finish their sentence. He is wonderful at mediating and showing respect to each of us, no matter how we express ourselves. His questions really drive at the root of the problem, showing his focus on healing the relationship and our inner lives. He assigns homework, but in no way does it feel burdensome. It is actually a pleasure to do the homework because it actually benefits both the individual and the relationship. I especially like that Dave also balances between sharing insights from psychology theory and from his own personal life. This makes him more relatable, and it also makes the lesson he is attempting to impart easier to internalize. I look forward to continuing to work with David, and to healing my inner and outer worlds.
David listens to all our concerns and is most focused on healing and finding a solution rather than refereeing our differences.
