About me
I consider it a sacred honor and privilege to walk with couples through life difficulties, identify strengths and find solutions, all through a caring and supportive relationship.
My work experience started with military service. I have 15 years’ experience teaching college psychology courses, all while helping individuals achieve life goals as a life coach. The past four years have been most satisfying career years as I transitioned to full time counseling.
I earned a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology in 2009. I also have certificates in family systems dynamics, life-coaching, and I am a nationally certified diabetes coach and trained in EMDR therapy.
My counseling style interweaves wellness, solution focused, acceptance and commitment, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I’ve worked extensively with couples in various stages of relationship.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. David Sperry. 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.
Working through life trauma and issues with Dr. Sperry has been phenomenal. He both pressed and gave room for me to step up to the hard work. I’m grateful to have a safe place to think my thoughts and examine my feelings with someone who encourages me to be my best authentic self.
Dr. Sperry is helping me, immeasurably. He listens intently and you feel heard. He will also provide you with answers when asked, and I value his therapeutic approach. We are doing EMDR. Unbelievable work. If you find an open appointment space, jump on it. He fills up very quickly.
Dr Sperry is congenial, well versed and personable. My husband and I really liked meeting him. He listened and asked pertinent questions during our session that helped us have clarity to our issues. His recommendations to focus on (active listening, self-soothing, breath exercises) at end of session were received gratefully.
Excellent therapist who provides tools for couples to utilize.
Dr Sperry is patient, understanding, and from an emotional point of view meets people where they are.
Dr. Sperry is wonderful. He has given us great advice and is very comfortable to talk to.
The doc seems to really know his stuff. Handling sensitive topics and situations is not easy and Dr Sperry does an excellent job.
Dr. Sperry is a knowledgeable, compassionate and empathetic counselor.
I couldn't imagine a more qualified and caring counselor than Dr. David Sperry. I feel like he truly understands our concerns and has valuable experience in helping us work through them together. Thank you David!
