About me
Two thirds of my clients are couples. Many call and ask if they can see me once or twice before inviting their partner to join. With rare exceptions, I decline and explain why it's so very important for a couple to come together from the very start. So often the caller blames one or the other. I patiently explain that what I do has nothing to do with blame. Next, the caller says he/she wants to work out personal stuff before addressing the couple. I tell the caller my honest experience, gathered over 40 years. When a couple has been together for a while, virtually every issue is a couples issue. And the best solutions are couples solutions, even in the rare cases where one person seems responsible for most difficulties. Finally, I stress how much easier it is to create solution as as a team.
I have no problem discussing these points for as long as the caller wishes, and it is extremely rare for a caller to insist on seeing me alone first. After a session or two, both nearly always agree that seeing me together was definitely the way to go.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. David Ransen. 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.
We liked the way Dr. Ransen handled marriage counseling. He gave is homework and after our first session we were able to commit and work on communicating with each other better.
