About me
I became interested in marriage and family therapy while I was volunteering as a hospital chaplain. I discovered that pastoral care was often not enough to properly support the needs of patients. I built a new plan to learn more psychotherapy, and after years of study, became a marriage and family therapist. I currently hold clinical licenses in DC and Massachusetts. Today, I provide a variety of psychotherapeutic relational interventions in working with couples, individuals, and families. The process is refreshing and rewarding and begins to conclude when clients start to rewrite their own relational stories. You will address such things as attachment history, coping skills to help you regulate, mindfulness practices, and development of competences in controlling/balancing your daily life. All interventions are trauma-informed. The latest evidenced-based techniques are used. Privacy, safety, and confidentiality are always our first priority.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Eric Slaughter. 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.
Eric is kind and has empathy, working knowledge , and is an effective mentor!
Eric is absolutely wonderful. Very understanding, an excellent listener, and encouraging.
Eric is one of the most knowledgable professionals I have ever worked with.
He is a wise, calm and compassionate person. We have so much respect for him and his guidance in our lives. I am a minority ,with traditional descriptions, and it is so hard to find some one who knows diversity, who believes in us as humans regardless of our differences but he proved to me it is possible. He is a miracle. Do not lose the chance to work with him if you can.
Eric is an excellent therapist and really takes the time to listen and analyze in order to get to the roots of the issues. I greatly enjoy our conversations and have already learned a ton from him.
Eric has done a wonderful job thus far and we are only 2 sessions in. My wife and I appreciate having him available to assist us with matters related to our marriage.
Eric’s experience transcends generations. He connects with us even as a same sex African American couple. He listens, provides tools, statistics, science, and life lessons. He helps us mediate problems and grief. He is a godsend
Eric is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. You can tell he cares about the work he does and has a great understanding of it.
We highly recommend Eric. He's very down to earth and offers not only expertise, but wisdom gained through experience. We're so happy to be paired with Eric as our counsel.
