About me
Individuals marry for a variety of reasons. Part of the ensuing task is to organize a couple's experience that stands a chance of working. I call this the "collective". It is the "us" of things. So, there are three things, two individuals and their "collective". All three need care and maintenance. The collective needs to be strong, flexible and have a good design.
Many of the "communication" problems couples present with are really disorders of expectations that clash in trying to design the collective. The collective is a lot about common ground. Similarly, when we are frustrated, we tend to feel and express anger. This is bad for the collective. It tends to alienate us and produce negative thinking about the relationship and our partner.
If the above , or similar factors are present, I believe they need to be addressed concurrently or before conventional relationship counseling proceeds. I am familiar with the approaches mentioned at https://guidedoc.com/best-counseling-techniques. I like Gottman for his emphasis on managing ongoing interaction . Thanks. Contact is welcome.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Douglas Treese. 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.
Hes helpful, communicative, reinforcing, knowledgeable, and feels like he's speaking from a place of educated experience. He has a lot of insight to give, and has me practicing homework as well that has lots of wisdom to learn from if you practice it. One assignment opens up a door to many insights on myself. It's very eye opening.
Dr T is great he noticed I myself had major issues within me and is having me work on myself before we attack my marriage issues. We have to be good in pur own heads before we can ask for any help in other areas.
We are very pleased so far in our sessions. Our therapist has been on point each time he has given us advise and tools.
Thoroughly satisfied with the help
He is wonderful, we've really enjoyed working with him.
Incredibly in tune with what myself and my child’s mother needed.
Dr. Treese is attentive and wise. His attention to details and perceptive views are refreshing and encouraging. I really appreciate Regain for connecting us with Dr. Treese. Outstanding!
