About me
Hello. I have worked in the mental health field for the last 25 years. I am a licensed mental health counselor licensed in Massachusetts. I have a Masters in Counseling
Psychology from Framingham State University. I have a long history working with couples in couple counseling. There can be no bias in couple therapy. Participating
partners must feel that their therapist respects and listens intently to each of them. I usually begin my couple therapy by meeting each partner separately before bringing the couple together for a session. I find homework that the couple can do on their own and together and be very therapeutic. Often the goal of the couple work is to improve the relationship, making the couple, each part, happier, more fulfilled with one another. Often couple work is carried out to have the couple make a decision about their relationship, whether to stay together or split up. Sessions can get very heated and emotional. I regulate the session by giving each of the partners the floor to verbalize their feelings. As each of the partners explores their feelings and feels the unconditional support of their therapist, changes can be made. Often, a husband finally hears his wife's discontent for the very first time. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Mindfulness, Emotion Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy in my
couple therapy. Let me be there for you and your partner!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ilene Liner. 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.
Ilene has so far been the most constructive therapist I have ever worked with
She's so lovely too talk too. I enjoy our sessions
Absolutely would recommend llene for a therapist to anyone. She’s extremely patient and very helpful, great at listening i believe this has been very beneficial to our relationship.
She is the absolute best !
Ilene is wonderful. She genuinely is concerned about us as a couple, but more importantly us as individuals. She provides practical advice and possible solutions, rather than just listening. Her wisdom and caring is most appreciated!
