About me

Hi, I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and in Wisconsin for 27+ years. You are, as a couple, seeking counseling because something in your relationship is no longer working the way you'd like. That, in and of itself, says volumes. Two people have come together in a common goal when otherwise they are finding it difficult to reach common ground. I can assist you in reaching that goal. BY reviewing where you both currently are and where you've both come from in the relationship we can begin to rebuild the relationship to one with open communication, increased positivity, and, increased warmth/intimacy/self-esteem. When the relationship works so will the family. My style is open, supportive, direct and compassionate. I realize this has been a difficult journey for you both. And, I want to see you succeed whether that be in regaining the relationship or understanding that this is not going to be a relationship in the future as it was in the past.

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

I have had one session so far with Mary Allen and I have a very good feeling about what we can achieve working together. I didn’t not expect we be in contact so much even outside of our sessions . Mary Allen spent a huge amount of time before and in between our session collecting information from us in order to be prepared to work during session . Very satisfied with this service so far.

My husband and I have worked with a few therapists over the years. Our experience with Mary really stands out. She has a good way of getting to the heart of an issue, moderating respectfully but effectively, and guiding each conversation to resolution. When we are not in session, we find ourselves referring to the very useful tools Mary has taught us. We feel very lucky to have found her.

Mary is such a awesome person. I feel like we have known her for ever. Without her i dont know where my marriage would be. Having the tools that she has presented us to remold our marriage has 100% saved us. All in a nutshell i feel like i fell in love all over again and its such a great feeling. People around me can tell things are going better at home and when i hear my friends talk about how there relationship has gone down hill i just tell them i know someone thats pretty cool and will help you get back on track! Her name is Mary Allen!
