About me
Counseling in my view is the ability to help identify behaviors with individuals that are negative destructive and harmful. My goals is to dialogue with a client and help uncover solutions, guidance in resolving personal, social, or psychological problems and difficulties is not forced on anyone. Counseling is collaboration between clients and trained knowledgeable clinicians. Participation from the client is essential in the success of any therapeutic exchange with me. Most people need a platform to identify problem areas in their thinking and in their lives that hinder them from progressing and understanding why they cannot succeed in society or towards their personal goals. Eventho I do not prescribe medications, sometimes, medications are required to gain a mental balance, sometimes not. Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are approaches I may apply. Confidentiality may not apply to cases involving a minor child. In such cases, as a mental health professional, I may advise a parent, managing conservator or guardian of a minor, with or without minor’s consent, of the treatment needed by or given to the minor. Sometimes change can be scary and it takes courage to seek help and take the first steps toward change. I look froward to working with you! Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Guy Starling. 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.
We really enjoyed just talking with him. He had a great, inviting, comfortable manner and gave us some interesting assignments to work on outside of our sessions.
Dr. Starling is really helping me and my partner get through a lot together. It’s been a pleasure working with him.
