About me

I have provided counseling to couples for over 23 years and I am extremely dedicated to helping couples I work with and helping them achieve the they have for their relationship.

I believe in working with couples using techniques which help partners clarify feelings and expectations. Communication skills training enable us to understand underlying feelings and learn to interact in a way where emotional needs can be understood and mutually fulfilled.

Engaging consultation in our most meaningful relationships is a courageous and important task. I assure you that I work my hardest in making sure we create a situation where these goals are the most likely to be achieved.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. James English. 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.

I'm in the early stages of therapy. With that being said.. Dr. English seems extremely eager to listen and as requested offer helpful advise and techniques to communicate my feelings and overall stimulating deeper introspection.
