I came into therapy with some major anxiety. I was in a pretty low and bad place. I was ready for the pain in me to stop. I, um, was very skeptical but I needed to try one last thing. As I felt I was at the end of my ropes with life. I started my first session with Donald- immediately he was supportive, listened to my nonsense, comforted me, and I felt human again. He has given me a lot of really good tips and advice and tools to help me in my life. 3 weeks and my life has already changed a ton. I hope I get to continue working with Donald and keep growing into a better person. Happier person. Less angry or anxious of a person. ❤️ Donald is very good at listening. Having someone to talk to, can be a really big change you didn’t know you needed. I highly recommend using ReGain for counseling its highly convenient. Especially if you live in the middle of nowhere. It works around your schedule. It’s affordable. Easily accessible. & you’re never alone.

Don has been extremely helpful for my husband and I. We were desperate to find someone and am thankful for his services. He is honest and knowledgeable. Our relationship with one another and others has greatly improved with his counseling.
