About me
I'm currently learning to do emotionally focused couples therapy and actively engaged in the certification process. I feel that this approach has the best evidenced based success rate because it provides the corrective emotional experience which is so crucial in order to get lasting success. I also have experience with Imago therapy, so I know how to lead couples into successful communication, where the empathy begins to flow between the partners. I've had a wide variety of couples who are dealing with financial issues, communication issues, addiction issues, grief issues, and parenting issues

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Leslie Kays. 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.
My partner and I have had 5 session with Leslie and both like her immensely. Her approach is supportive, warm, nonjudgmental, and validating. She makes us feel safe to be vulnerable. Both I and my partner have had individual therapy, and we both agreed immediately that Leslie was clearly the best therapist we've had. I've heard the "self" of the therapist (what they bring to the room as an individual) is one of the most important factors in how effective therapy is, and Leslie is a great example of a therapist with an exceptional self.
