About me
I am eclectic in my counseling approach and utilize different counseling models such as, Person-centered therapeutic approach, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Evidence-Based Treatment, Solution focused Treatment Approach and so on. My skill as a good communicator has been an asset in my practice. I believe in listening empathetically and providing the necessary supported needed by my client. I also belief that the solution to peoples’ problems come from themselves, while I assist the client to identify for themselves causes for their problems and for them to make good choices. I work with persons of any race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion; for I belief in equality of human beings.
I am particularly interested in working with couples as the bulk of my clientele are of this group; and this has provided me with a broad and diverse knowledge on the common problems faced by couples with different background and or ethnicity.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for John Elame. 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.
John is great! We have learned so much from our sessions.
John has been a game changer in our relationship. He listens to our problems and quickly pinpoints the issue and what we can do to resolve it. I would strongly recommend John for anyone who is trying to fix their relationship.
I'm impressed overall. He is the first therapist I've met that will dig and ask those right questions to help resolve issues plus I can read a person pretty well
Dr. Elam’s is very sensible and fair. He will settle disagreements and offer opinions but is never on sided.
He got down to the root of our troubles the 1st session. We’ve seen 3 before him and I’m glad I made the choice not to settle bc I never would have found him
John is a professional, who understands the importance of helping couples rebuild their challenged marriages. He listens to the concerns of both sides and does not take side; instead, he provides positive suggestions backed by real life examples to help couples reconcile.
Everything is great so far!
John listens as we speak and is very intuitive. Thankful to have found Regain and John.
John is one of the best counselors I have come across. He has a unique style that allows for real conversation and a safe space for the truth. Given the empathy he showed, both my partner and I felt understood and supported, which helped each of us understand the others' perspective and feelings. Thank you John.
John's great! He started our first session by encouraging us to hold hands and tell or remind each other of our love by saying: I love you. Sometimes the simplest expressions and reminders are the strongest.
Very patient and attentive listener.Gets where the problems are.Will highly recommend him to anyone
