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

Melanie seems to impartial but fair to both of us. She asked excellent questions that led to real discovery. She has given me hope that we can save our relationship.
