About me

I am a professional counselor licensed in the state of Missouri, with about seven years of experience, and over a decade and a half of experience working with addiction and mental health. Throughout those years, I've helped many couples reconnect and find improved understanding of one another, through struggles ranging from inattention, infidelity, family conflict, life planning, and difficulty communicating.

There are times in our lives when we need a new vision and someone to help us create strategies to overcome old challenges and take life to the next level. Seeking this change can be a daunting task, but I am here to help support you in your success. My counseling style is rather eclectic, based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with strong influences from Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused techniques, and existential psychotherapy.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

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

Ian has been a delight to talk to. He listens and responds in a great way and I have found his sessions to be very helpful.

He doesn't choose sides. He helps you to understand the other person's perspective. After only a few weeks our marriage has seen huge improvements.

Ian is a great listener. He has really helped me with past and present problems. He allows time for you to vent and also offers great advise and education.

Ian was very professional and kind. He respected our views and helped us communicate better with each other. He also gave us good advice when we need it, and it improved me and my partner’s relationship.

Ian does such a great job in listening to us and giving us time to talk about what's going on. He's really good about getting to the heart of the matter and recommending specific things we can work on. He has a calm, genuine demeanor that never comes across as pushy or judgmental. My husband and I both agree on the value of therapy with him.

We have only met with Ian once in a video call, but we’ve talked many times through the chat. I think he does a great job of seeing our issues from both sides. He doesn’t really sugar coat things either which I like. He’s also given us real world tools and ideas to try in our relationship and our relationship with other people instead of just abstract concepts to think about. Can’t say enough positive things so far!

Ian has been great to work with so far. Not only is he extremely accessible and responsive but he is a great listener. He is very receptive to both parties involved during the counseling. He truly remains the neutral party which has not always been our experience with other counselors.

Ian is very understanding and is neutral for both sides, but effective in reciprocating information I can say that I usually don't have much confidence in counseling of any sort, but Ian has changed that for me. I actually feel like my wife and I will make it though our ways and become more like the people we pictured we married.

So far he seems pretty regular, which is good it's not like you're being analyzed, but you talking to a regular person.

Ian’s help came at a critical time for our family. We were on the verge of separating (not the first time) and frankly this was our last resort.

Ian’s easy to talk to, a pro at listening to you, and helping you to listen to what your partner is saying.

We worked with Ian for a few months and, with his guidance, I can genuinely say my partner and I have done 180° turn in our relationship. What minor conflicts we have, get resolved since we’ve learned skills and build habits to work as a team and come together. In between those tiny conflicts, we are much more connected and intimate and feel like we are heading in the direction we’ve always wanted to but couldn’t, because we were in our own way. We can’t think Ian enough for his help and can’t recommend him highly enough.

I'm happy with Ian so far. He has been very helpful.

Work with me!
