About me
I have about twenty years work experience in the field of mental health services, I have worked as an adult case manager in community support services. I have also been an intake specialist; but the one area I have found the most rewarding is working as a mental health counselor. I enjoy working with people in helping them to see issues and problems from different perspectives and helping them to make better choices that will help them with feeling better about themselves and to overcome their personal problems.
I hold advanced degrees in psychology and mental health counseling. From my education and work experience, I have found CBT and positive center approaches along with solution based therapy to be effective in helping clients to become more mindful along with helping them to build coping skills that they can utilize to help them to be more empowered in making healthy decisions in their lives.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Prof. Michael McGaugh. 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.
Dr Mike is a great therapist - he has the ability to diffuse difficult conversations, and provide insight and thought in a way that makes you think, not defend. He uses words and tones that allows forward movement, yet is very candid about changes in behaviors and perceptions. Very good, and highly reccommended!
So far we have been with him for 1 month and we feel as though we have have known him for years. He is very outgoing and easy to speak too. We appreciate him and all the help he is providing us. Thank you for being you! Thank you for helping us!
We had a great experience with regain and Prof. McGaugh! He was kind, compassionate, and straight to the point! I was very pleased when he got my quiet husband to open up! He shares his thoughts and feelings much more now! Thank you!
Prof McGaugh did a good job helping guide us in learning to function more effectively after infidelity.
Prof. McGaugh is a wonderful therapist. It was a pleasure working on things with his guidance . I can highly recommend him and his expertise!
Prof McGaugh has really helped both of us in our relationship quickly breaking down our issues and giving us more perspective of things we can do to improve them
He's been a great listening ear and communicates without judgement. He offers thought provoking questions and has really helped my wife and I.
Mike is excellent
Mike is an amazing therapist. He is someone who listens closely and openly to both people and then really gets to the core of the issue in a non-judgmental way that leaves you feeling heard and seen and understood. He also offers valuable insight and provides actionable suggestions on how to break destructive patterns of behavior. We can’t imagine a better therapist to help us navigate our relationship.
I have only had two sessions but so far I really enjoy speaking with Prof. McGaugh. He seems knowledgeable and competent.
Thx
He’s very caring and looks at both sides for couples… has good suggestion of what to work on for individuals involved.
Easy to contact n prompt with replies.
Prof. McGaugh is a wonderful therapist who has the ability to respect both partners in the relationship. A man with few words, but words that say so much. You will always feel heard by him.
Great Doctor.
Michael is a wonderful therapist and has been extremely helpful to my family during a long and difficult series of life events
Prof. Mike is very helpful.
Mike is sensitive and yet direct. He takes both of our perspectives into account. He thinks before speaking and considers our input, and is open to changing his mind, even as he gives his professional opinions in a jargon-free fashion.
