These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathryn Shumate. 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.

Kathryn shumate has been wonderful and is very experienced. She has amazing talents as she listens, ask important questions, and has helped us pinpoint some areas we need to work on in our relationship. Words could not express my graditude for her and her schedule is flexible .

Kathryn is precisely what we need. She listens, gives excellent advice, and relates the advice to real-world situations. She even throws in a good story now and then. She provides advice and guidance that relates to us, not a psychology book. She is easy to talk to and responds quickly to all messages. We would highly recommend Kathryn.

Kathryn instantly makes you feel comfortable and provides a judgment free zone to just be yourself. I have never participated in any sort of therapy before and was nervous and apprehensive. Within the first three minutes, I felt like I was venting to a lifelong friend. She is very understanding, explains things well, and offers lots of insight and guidance to help. I would highly recommend Kathryn.

Kathryn is a fantastic counsellor. I have needed to work through my trauma and decided to reach out to Kathryn as it was affecting Emy relationship with an incredible man. She has helped me to look back at my past and heal those issues . I am on the journey for healing and have been excited to see the results. Kathryn is very experienced and would highly recommend her for relationship and trauma counselling.
