These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ellen Parkinson. 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.

Ellen has helped our marriage grow in ways we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise. She is an active listener and has great advice for what we’re dealing with in that moment.

Ellen is excellent at therapeutic communication. I always feel like a weight has been lifted off of my back every time I get off of the phone with her. I felt a lot more optimistic about our relationship ever since I’ve started talking to her.

I feel like Ellen does a good job bridging the differences between me and my partner to create more fairness in the relationship and a better understanding of each other. I strongly feel that continuing to work with her will strengthen our communication and we will be a better team.

Ellen is a wonderful counselor. You could tell she really cares about you. She makes you comfortable. She does her best to accommodate, in fact she goes above and beyond. She really listens to your need and offers various ways to solve the problem without making you feel uncomfortable. I would recommend Ellen to all of my friends and family.
