Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ida Whitaker. 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.
My therapy with Ida has been very successful. I feel she totally relates and understands my concerns and issues. She has done a great job of concentrating on the issues that need to be addressed and understanding the dynamics of a struggling marriage. Thank you Ida.
Ida has helped me so much that I think different and my day is just better after talking to her.
Ida has been very accommodating and thoughtful! She is a fantastic listener and always helps give tangible real world advice and ways to address whatever challenges we are facing. She also remembers everything we talk about which is a huge sign of someone who is attentive and focused on each of her clients. I also feel she spends equal amounts of time unraveling both me and my partner and helping make sense of both of us to each other. I’ve really enjoyed working with Ida and would
Highly recommend her!
Ida is a great therapist! I feel that she takes the time to listen to my partner and I and has provided us with good techniques and advise. She has also provided resources to help our relationship. She is the first therapist that has actively listened to our concerns and would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking help!
Ida has been absolutely amazing. She acknowledges my concerns and gives support and resources to help me work through the issues I'm having. She is supportive and seems to genuinely care about helping me, the woman is an absolutely angel!
Ida has helped me so much through a vey difficult time and to not feel crazy as I was being gaslight for years by my husband.
Ida is amazing. She tells me things that I know but don’t want to hear. She really helps out so much. Thank you.
My wife and I are both very happy after two sessions with Ida.
Ida has been very responsive and very willing to listen.
