Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Debra (Debbie) Whatley. 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.

She is truly amazing and I have been to a thousand hours of therapy before, but have never experienced anyone like our awesome therapist. Some people just have a gift of helping through impossible situations. She does.

Barbara has been highly effective in helping me set my priorities straight and helping me focus on the things that got my life back on track after multiple traumas has set me back in living life successfully. Grateful for her!

Debbie is a great therapist. She listens and gives so much helpful tips. She has really helped me and my fiancé to understand each other better and given us tips to have better communication. After 2 sessions we have had such improvement in our arguing and not hurting each other with our words as we did before. Her hand out on what love is helped us to identify what good things we do to show love but it also made us realize the negative things we do that we need to work on. 10/10 recommend her.
