About me

I have been a practicing Social Worker for the last 40 years. I have worked in both private practice and Community Mental Health. I recognize that by the time someone seeks counseling they have tried other alternatives and are truly looking for answers, help, and/or direction that they have not been able to get. Therapy/counseling is an important decision and the work should be a positive experience (although it is work) that helps us get to a higher level in our lives. I have worked with CISM debriefing for first responders, been trained in hypnotherapy, Accelerated Resolution of Trauma, Solution Focused and both short and longer term modalities.
I am available to offer my experience and training, to work together to help find answers, resolution and new ways of being in life.

Reviews

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

Louise is amazing and her experience shows through our conversations. I always leave our sessions feeling hopeful and like things might just work out. Her insights really helped us put a lot of things into perspective. She’s a 10/10 and would definitely recommend her to everyone

Louise is a fantastic therapist. She makes me feel very comfortable opening up to her about what I’m going through. She genuinely listens to what you are saying while you are speaking and responds back with ideas and questions. I haven’t always felt like all of my therapists were actually listening fully to me before like I do with Louise. You will be very happy with her.
