About Me
I have had the opportunity to train at the Philadelphia Child Guidance Center which is one of the pioneer centers educating and training therapist in family therapy and in couples counseling. In addition I have trained at the Masters and Johnson Institute where sexual issues were treated within the context of the couples relationship rather than addressing problems in sexual functioning with the focus on the presenting symptoms.In my work I see the couple as members of a single unit that has become out of balance and no longer serves the members of the couple. My focus is always on the current interaction of the couple rather than events in the individuals or the couples history.Providing a safe environment for non conflict exploration of issues is an essential component of the work.I have had experience working with couples from many socioeconomic groups, faith group membership and racial and ethic groups. My practice includes working with same sex relationships as well as with more traditional couples.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Donald Strauss. 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.
You're doing an amazing job at figuring out what our underlying issues are! I am really glad we met you!
Dr. Strauss is a breath of fresh air. He is well rounded, open minded, a wonderful listener. He is insightful, creative and kind. We havelearned a lot from him and his advice and suggestions have made huge improvements in our communication.
Dr. Strauss has been fantastic to work with. He has helped my partner and I understand ourselves and each other much better.
I like how Dr Strauss can usually relate to our situation with a story of his own, so he is quite empathetic and he has a kind demeanour.
After working with Dr. Strauss for only a short while, he has helped us see the areas of our relationship that need focus. He gives us simple things to focus on and I feel our communication is already improving.
I was always hesitant about the proccess of therapy and its benefits. I was definitively proved wrong early into our sessions.
So far, so brilliant
He has a calm approach. He listens and works with both of us to support us in the areas that are of concern
