About me
I have worked with couples counseling through my 6 year experience of being a Marriage and Family therapist utilizing Emotion Focused Therapy. The focus on couples counseling is to understand what the motivation of the process would be such as; working on emotional distancing / unavailability, communication effectiveness, reunification, managing a separation / co-parenting, re-structuring goals and / or rules within a relationship. I have mainly worked with couples that have either lost the emotional connection (spark) or due to changes with life circumstances have led to minimal time for each other which could lead to a build up of unresolved conflicts. Being able to work through resentments, grudges, forgiveness, and finding time to restore the spark is an important process with reunification. If the relationships does not have the ability to restore the spark and are ready to care about each other as independent adults not partnered, then working out the differences to find some type of resolve is important to help manage a friendship or co-parenting.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Brollini. 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 like how direct Michael is along with his variety of approaches.
Michael is great. I'm new to therapy and he made me feel very comfortable and listened to. Can't recommend him enough.
We have been working with Michael for over a year now and feel comfortable with him. He is easy to build report with and comes through as very genuine with his very endearing quips and quirks that bring a lightness and comfort to the space he provides
Kind, considerate, thoughtful listener who asks good questions.
I find Michael to be very thorough, analytical, knowledgeable, and respectful to my partner and I.
I believe he does a great job in understanding both needs and articulating them to one another.
He looks for solutions and to explain both sides feelings to find common ground to move the relationship forward in a positive manner.
Michael is such a great person that made therapy smooth and comfortable. He made us reflect so much on our emotions and reactions within our relationship and truly helped our bond get stronger. Thanks Michael for everything!
I am very pleased with Michael. He does a great job at listening to both sides and making an unbiased analysis. Thank you.
Michael has been wonderful in our therapy sessions. He openly listens to both me and my partner and provides additional insight about the other is feeling. What I enjoy most are the tools Michael shares after sessions to help my partner and I grow collectively.
Just getting started but seems like we are on the right track.
Michael is understanding and takes the time to learn about each person and provides personal experiences.
Writing another review about Michael to say that he has been extremely helpful. He was wise in the way he helped steer things in the direction it needed to go and the decisions that needed to be made. I am now able to confidently and peacefully go in the direction I need to go for my mental, emotional and relational health and do the things I need to do for this next season of my life.
Mike is an overall great therapist. He is respectful, approachable, and a great active listener. His methods have made it easier to understand and has opened up lines of communication between my partner and myself. He is flexible with scheduling and accommodates when needed to. Mike has saved our relationship through developing an understanding of our relationships needs. We appreciate his overall patience and demeanor when helping us sort through our issues. Thank you Mike for all that you do.
Great first intro to couples therapy!
Michael was non-bias and was very in tuned with what our couples issue. He helped us break the knots down so that we are able to listen to one another without resentment. He is very caring and determined in helping us work through misunderstandings. I highly recommend Michael!
Excellent, kind and great advice
Great app that we have already referred to friends
Michael is a very good listener and pays attention to detail. He doesn’t mix up my wife and I and he has helped us get through some difficult times.
Michael Brollini is a great listener. In the few sessions we've had he stays impartial and is great at presenting situations and concepts in a way that they help me to understand the bigger picture. He's an affable counselor and makes everyone comfortable very quickly.
