About me
As a counselor I seek to empower people to be set free of limitations in their lives caused by fear, anxiety and doubt. My therapy approach includes challenging, comforting, and providing necessary tools for freedom to take place in your life. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (New York). I have been a licensed counselor for ten years and a pastor for 40+ years.
Challenges to life such as relational difficulties are often related to relational trauma. This can be especially challenging to a marriage relationship. I can help you to safely explore your family of origin in order to discover any triggers that might be the cause of the problem(s) you are facing.
My counseling style encompasses an integrative approach that is person-centered and strength-based with specialization in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Gottman Marriage Method and Christian Counseling.
I am certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator. I specialize in pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling (especially with couples in severe conflict caused by infidelity) and marriage counseling to assist couples going through the various changing seasons of relationships.
With regards to my communication style, I am straight forward and direct. My goal is to assist you in developing an effective plan to resolve the challenges you are facing to cope with various life challenges.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Doyle DeGraw. 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.
Doyle has saved our engagement. He is incredibly helpful, professional, and a master at what he does.

Between quarantine, a new baby in the way, home renovations and career changes, 2020 was a challenging year for my wife and me (as it was for many). Doyle helped us talk through a difficult time and we're grateful for his guidance and insight. We'd highly recommend him!
I enjoy working with M. DeGraw. He offers easy ways for us to improve our relationship. We feel understood during our meetings with him.
