Frequently asked questions
While it is a priority to provide you with a match that best suits you both, sometimes therapists just aren't the right fit; if this is the case, you can request to be matched to a different therapist at any time.
Regain is not the right solution for you if any of the following is true:
- You are a minor or you are under the care of a legal guardian.
- You are in an urgent crisis or an emergency situation.
- You were required to undergo therapy either by a court order or by any other authority.
- You are in a physically abusive relationship, or are concerned for your safety in the relationship.
- You do not have a device that can connect to the internet or you do not have a reliable internet connection.

Additionally, you may see this FAQ reference "partners," but the term isn't exclusive. You can interpret "partner" as the person you're attending therapy with. If you feel you can benefit from relationship therapy, we encourage you to signup for Regain.
Generally, the therapist will keep what you tell them confidential, but there are limited exceptions. For example, if you threaten grave harm to yourself or to an identifiable victim the therapist is required to report this information to relevant authorities. Before starting therapy, please discuss with your therapist their legal obligations to confidentiality if you have any concerns or questions.
