Reviews

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

Written on Aug 09, 2025 after therapy with Dean for 4 months on issues concerning relationship

Dean has proven to me that he truly listens and never passes judgment. He is very knowledgeable and offers solid advice. He is very easy to talk to, much makes it easier for me to open up and express myself so he can help my situation.
