Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for David Spann. 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 is a very experienced therapist. Just started, but so far so good
David is awesome! Positive and honest. Helping me see the positive in me.
Thank you David!
David has been wonderful. He’s fair and consistent. He engages and sees things that we as a couple weren’t seeing. He is great at deciphering the “couple” code (as I call it)
David is kind and patient. We are extremely pleased with this experience.
Excellent therapist. Great listener and my husband really liked him too!
David is a great therapist! The positive view that David was able to share with my partner and I has really helped us grow over the course of 2 months.
David has helped myself and my partner grow individually and together in the last several years. He has given all the tools needed to have a happy successful life and partnership. (We still need work on using those tools) We are committed to do so!
Estranged from a family member that I love was extremely distressing and in an effort to reconcile prompted my decision to participate in therapy which brought us to Mr Spann. My hope to resolve our problem(s) - to bring us together again happened with Mr Spann’s guidance. Heartfelt appreciation to him for helping us explore / understand the issues that affected our relationship and ultimately brought us together again. Thank you!
David helped my father and I repair our estranged relationship. He is a miracle worker, and I can't recommend him enough. Thank you, David. You have helped heal our family in more ways than I can articulate. God bless you.
My partner and I were entering the year in a crucial moment of our relationship. We loved each other - that was our one certainty - but the bickering was turning into arguments and we were in a state of disconnection. So I googled “online couples therapy” and we found ourselves meeting with David Spann a week later. That was 5 months ago. Today, me and my partner are in our next phase of “us”. It’s messy and beautiful and authentic and hard but most importantly, it’s open and filled with the best love and joy I’ve ever experienced. I’ve never been so content in the chaos of life. David is a game changer. He helped us navigate our feelings and thoughts individually and together and created a safe space that allowed transformation and most meaningful, for me at least, acceptance. He empowered us to choose to change our patterns and understand that there isn't a goal to reach in a partnership but rather a life to share. I’m not sure if this is the correct format of a review but just thought I could share my experience and gratitude here. 5 out of 5 stars!!! 10 out of 10 recommend to a friend or stranger!
David is knowledgeable and very helpful. He's kind and understanding and helps us get to the root of things that need work. My wife and I have already progressed so much. I recommend David Spann for sure.
David has helped our marriage from almost splitting up to now doing better than we ever have in 12 years. He helped us heal the pain of our terrible fights and gave us tools on how to communicate and work on our anger issues as a couple and individually. His Christian background helped get to the root of things as well as his vast clinical expertise in the "natural." We will always be grateful for his help.
David Spann speaks in depth and gets to the root of our issues and concerns. He's very passionate about what he does and wants to see us progress. It is not just a job for him, he truly cares. Thank you for all your help!
David really helped improve some of the areas we were struggling with in our relationship. In just one month we saw a huge improvement. Highly recommended.
David listens and provides feedback. I like the fact that he has a Christian background and is able to assist even the most complex issue my wife and I had.
David continues to present tools to confront our situation in a constructive way.
David is truly remarkable. We have worked with many therapists over the years and none quite compare to his patience, calm, and insight. I have recommended david to many others and will continue to do so!
Best therapist I have ever worked with.
My wife started individual therapy with David Spann, and after a couple weeks I was so impressed with the work she had been doing with him that we moved over to couples therapy. David’s work was instrumental in helping both of us get out of some individual funks and onto a path towards our best selves.
We have been so blessed to work with David Spann. Twice we have worked with him as he has helped two imperfect people live life together with curiosity and compassion. I know we could not have grown this much together on our own, and are excited to see the summits we climb with our growing strength. Thank you again David.
David has been helpful, patient, and understanding, with good insights
Dave has been exceptionally beneficial in helping me work through the stuck points I have been carrying throughout my adult life that have manifested into negative thoughts, emotions, words and actions that have hurt me and those close to me.
David has been great to work with. He is easy to talk, a great listener and makes us feel very comfortable. He is helping us grow and gain confidence individually and as a couple. I would highly recommend him!
David, was an excellent counselor and really helped us through some difficult times. He is very perceptive and is able to identify the stuck points that we constantly fall in. He helped us in communicating better and seeing the positive aspects of our relationship. I would highly recommend David.
David is an absolute professional. He listens and presents the treatment in a way that evokes change and real development. I can only hope that more people get to experience his expertise!
David has been very quick to get to grips with the problems facing us and help us start finding practical solutions, whilst being encouraging
David has been amazing! His straight forward technique is just what we need!!
Effective therapist. Experience and still keeping enthusiasm. His will bring to consideration one thing after another to get you unstuck.
Says thing clear and direct,
Thank You sir.
David is tremendous! He is a competent counselor who can create such a positive experience from often challenging times. His direct approach with couples allows for changes and insights in the relationship in a shockingly short time frame. Not only will you leave sessions with a greater understanding of yourself, your partner, and the relationship, but you’ll also leave sessions with a confidence and practical tools to implement effective change.
David has been a comfort and a joy. I would highly recommend working with him.
I enjoyed my time with David. He is very blunt and to the point which I liked, he is also very wise and offers good pointers and helped me build the “best version of me” up and I am truly thankful for my time with him. I truly recommend him for anyone who is feeling stuck, he will get you unstuck and help you find the best version of yourself. I would highly recommend to a friend.
Our counseling experience with David has been well worth it. My wife and I are very busy with family and work obligations so having the ability to do the sessions remotely at home has been extremely helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend David's services or the Regain platform.
A couple weeks in session with David and I feel more positivity in my life and relationship than before. It's been a positive turning point that I am feeling more secure with the path we have chosen by taking a chance and going for therapy.
David's support of me while navigating life after leaving an abusive relationship has been invaluable. He helped me regain the confidence I lost, rebuild relationships with my kids and empowered me to take back control of my life with healthy boundaries. Thank you for helping me find the best version of myself!
David's counseling style was very complimentary to our needs. He was very engaging and provided us with tools to communicate with each other more effectively. He also gave us assignments to do on our own time between sessions - some individually and some together. We both have busy schedules and it never felt like a burden to find time to meet with David. He made us feel that he was vested in helping us. Overall, we are in a better place as a couple since the beginning. We had a great experience with David and highly recommend him as a counselor.
I appreciate David´s professionalism, feedback, and directness. He keeps the conversation on track and is a great guide in navigating the difficult issues.
David has been an incredibly valuable sounding board and advisor. He has helped my partner and me strengthen our relationship as well as deal with our individual issues relating to work and anxiety. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to any couples experiencing issues large or small.
David has been a thoughtful, knowledgeable guide for my partner and I. He is experienced, respectful and intuitive. I really value his insights and the exercises he gives us individually and as a couple.
We started our sessions with David regarding our relationship and focusing on our differences and problems. It was interesting how David brought out important aspects in our relationship that we had not realized before. I also had individual sessions with him and it was very much helpful. David is VERY experienced, patient, and smart! He spent more time than it was expected on each session and really cared about us and our relationship. I definitely recommend working with him.
What I really liked in my experience working with David was his positive-reenforcement method. It's often the case that when partners stumble upon an issue, they limit their attention to their problem and forget about things that work between them. David, with his thoughtful comments and constructive exercises, helped my partner and I to have the full picture in view while working on our differences. Overall, I highly recommend David as he is a seasoned, generous, kind, and knowledgeable therapist.
David is experienced in the field and in life as well, extremely understanding, supportive, just great really! Def recommended!
David addresses my issues directly in a good way. I can tell he is experienced and well-versed. He handles difficult subjects with good advice and good points to think about. One of the best I have ever had in 28 years of therapy.
