Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Janel Blackman. 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.
Janel is kind, receptive to our concerns, and overall this has been a great experience.
Janel is wonderful! Her kindness and good sense of humor puts you immediately at ease. She was very helpful to my spouse and me, especially as we transitioned following our former counselor’s retirement. You will love working with her.
Janel Blackman so understanding and always see both point of views. She is direct and always keep it 100 and I admire that in a person. She has a sense of humor that sheds light on a dark situation. In just one session she will put things into perspective for you and your partner. I swear Regain couldn't have match us with a better therapist.
Janel has been incredibly insightful, knowledgeable, and overall helpful. She gives honest feedback and offers viable solutions to our problems. With her approach to counseling and our own initiatives, we’ve made vast improvements in our relationship. We’d be remiss not to acknowledge how she has helped us glue our relationship back together. We appreciate her for all her efforts.
