About me
I truly respect your decision to seek couple's counseling at this time. Facing relationship, intimacy and couple's issues head-on is how they get resolved or healed. I know the right fit between therapist and a couple is imperative. My approach is to treat you with absolute, unconditional positive regard and respect. I will not be on "one" side and both people will feel heard and understood. I am only "on the side" of the relationship and with helping you heal what is hurting. Respect is so important. I will treat both of you with the utmost respect.
My therapeutic style, mindfulness. and solutions focused. The approach I use with couples is guided by what feels right in the session and not limited to one-style-fits-all. I see the goal as working with you on what you came to address and giving you tools for that, while helping you feel, safe, connected and close to each other.
I may give you homework to do between each session if that works for you.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jewel Kristine (Kristy) Hemmele. 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.
Kristy was great!
Been an awesome experience so far.
She truly understands the importance and helps us to resolve our issues.
Kristy has been very helpful in our marriage counseling. She is able to direct the conversation where it needs to go without getting too far off topic. She listens well and understands what each person needs.
Kristy is making a true difference
Kristy is the best!
She is wonderful... not always what I want to hear but she has been very helpful in our relationship and I highly recommend her!
Kristy has stuck with us through thick and thin!! We just celebrated 24 years of marriage and really were happy for one of the first times in a long time.
Kristy has excellent communication skills and responds quickly. She is professional and easy to talk to. We would recommend her to anyone.
Kristy has been very helpful and is a joy to work with.
Kristy always helps to provide new & helpful insight about our partner's point of view. She makes us feel heard and respected and always provides us with resources to continue on in a better direction.
Kristy is very open and relaxed and I immediately felt comfortable with her. I appreciated the guidance that she provided and she was very good about following up to ensure we followed up on the goals we had created in our session.
Kristy was great. Flexible, easy to communicate with and relatable. She really made us feel comfortable and it was easy to have open conversations with her.
Kristy has done a wonderful job of helping my husband and I better connect and communicate with each other. We appreciate her very much and are so glad she has been here for us!
Appreciate your support. You have been very helpful during difficult times.
Kristy does an excellent job teasing out the details and tailoring her advice to the current situation.
Kristy understands what I am going through and has my best interests in mind. Talking to her via text has been very helpful.
My husband and I have been working with Kristy for 2 months now. She is very compassionate and empathetic to your situation. Through video and text chats Kristy helped my husband and I save our marriage. We were in a truly dark place and she helped us see the light through homework and well needed therapy. She doesn’t take sides and call you out when you are messing up. That’s why we love her. She has become an integrated part of our family. I could go on and on about how great Kristy is. I would highly recommend her over and over again. Thank you Kristy for everything !!! We love you!!!
She is great at listening carefully and doesn't take sides in a relationship.
Kristy is extremely helpful and accommodating. Even though she doesn’t always agree with me she makes me feel understood and explains in a caring way why I need to change my behavior or thought process.
Kristy is very great, she listens to both sides and do not take side if you are wrong or trying to correct your mistakes she helps to the best of her abilities. Kristy ROCKS
Kind and experienced. Would love to recommend to others!
I only had one direct session with Kristy. It is too early to truly comment at this time. I anticipate that I will get to that point as we progress with this experience.
10/10
Kristy is funny and an amazing listener. I feel extremely comfortable talking to her.
Kristy made all of our fears and worries gone in the 1st few minutes In our 1st session. Amazing, talented and helped us better our relationship in our 1st session. We will be using Regain for awhile as long as Kristy is our guide to happiness.
Kristy is a great listener and fair. She truly respects both sides and offers warm and effective advice and tools to grow as a couple. Her energy is kind and she gets straight to it.
She listens and offers unbiased advice. She offers different method to help you become a better person and reach your goals. Love the fact that she’s a Christian!!!!
We have had a few meetings with Kristy and so far we have had nothing but good experiences. I feel that she listens and takes in to consideration both mine and my spouse's concerns.
