Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Leia Twigg-Smith. 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.
Dr T is great. She is very direct and every session feels like we are making progress.
She is a great therapist and a great listener . I appreciate her and her time and experience.
Dr. Twigg-Smith is real - asks the hard questions, makes us think, takes the time to learn about both of us, and truly understands us. Our relationship has been helped so much by working with her. When we first started, she said her job was to help so much she would work her way out of a job.. and she really lives by that in the way she listens, helps, supports, and works with us.
Dr T is Insightful, kind and direct. We are learning so much and improving our relationship skills with her help!
Dr. Twigg-Smith is to the point and deals with our issues head on. Offers great tools for us to use right away. Very responsive and available. I would encourage you to work with her plus her available sessions are awesome for us, late evenings and all
Dr. T is a very capable therapist. During our few weeks with her, she delved into a number of long-standing issues we have had for years. She has a good bed-side manner but also "cuts to the chase" with both compassion and directness.
Great couples therapist! We got lucky.
Dr. Twigg-Smith has been the only therapist to understand our unique challenges as a couple. She starts by focusing on our relationship goals and helps us continually work on them together. Highly recommend!
She is easy to talk to yet is very direct and therapy has be very helpful
Dr. Twigg-Smith is wonderful. She listens and asks great questions to get the conversation going or going deeper. I would recommend her as a therapist.
Very great therapist. Listens very well and provides thoughtful and helpful feedback.
Dr. Twigg-Smith gets right down to business with the tough questions that are difficult for couples to answer. She calls people out on what needs to be brought to their attention - anything from lying to avoidance to being in the wrong. She has great suggestions on how to help couples improve and gives ideas and homework to help make the improvements.
She's great!
The best ❤️
She is highly responsive and allows me to think and reflect. Provides text feedback and online. Thoughtful in using multiple channels
I’m a few short session Dr. Twigg-Smith has been able to help my wife and I accomplish more in that time than we have in months of therapy elsewhere. She seems to really care about our success and getting to the root of our issues and helping us navigate them.
Sure is very understanding and unbiased when listening to me and my wife.
