About me

I have worked with couples for 25 years dealing with many issues to include communication, addiction, abuse, and more. Relationships are the foundation of our society. Couples who find themselves in a relationship that is struggling often cannot see the way out. It is helpful to have a third party, a fresh pair of eyes if you will, make sense of what is going on. I have worked successfully with couples who are struggling with addiction, abuse, infidelity, and toxic communication issues. Using solution focused techniques and neuro linguistic programing techniques the couples find it possible to understand the perspective of their partner. Once this has been accomplished then how to go forward becomes clearer. This is my goal in counseling couples.
My approach includes cognitive-behavioral, Person Centered, Solution Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Neuro Linguistic Programing . Change is possible no matter how old you are or what the issues are. I can help guide you to whatever changes you decide you want. Our work is a partnership. I am an expert on change and you are the expert on you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Pamela Kayanan. 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.

We enjoy working with her to address our specific challenge

Dr. K is wonderful - compassionate and non-judgemental and a wonderful listener. I've worked with her through multiple problems and she's always given me advice that was very much needed and helpful to me.

Dr. Kayanan is a great listener and is very supportive. She makes me feel heard and her schedule is very accommodating. I really appreciate having her as a counselor and advocate. She's fantastic!

Dr. Kayanan has helped my wife and I find clarity in our relationship and helped us figure out ways to make our relationship thrive. We can't thank her enough for her professionalism and understanding of both sides of the issues my wife and I faced. Highly recommended!!!!

I have had two sessions so far with Dr. Kayanan and she has been wonderful. She challenges me and my spouse to see things from a different perspective by asking profound questions. She also gently calls us out when we are wrong, and validates us when we are right The worksheets are short but highlight how a lot of things that need fixing in my life are actually in my control. I am not sure that anyone can fix my marriage, but no matter what, talking with Dr. K will help me heal. If you are like me and have always felt like you didn't have a champion in your life, or a therapist who cares about you, try Dr. K. I feel like a weight is lifted every time we talk.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. K. She has been so helpful both for me personally and for me and my husband. She has so much wisdom to share and really gets to the heart of things in a kind and supportive way. I feel so blessed to have found her!

She is absolutely wonderful. She really listens to everything that I say. I have only had two sessions with her and she has already made a huge impact.

Dr. Kayanan is very attentive and you can sense that she has years of experience working with couples.

Written on May 02, 2019 after therapy with Pamela for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship

We highly recommend Dr. Kayanan. My husband and I have noticed a significant difference in our ability to deal with our issues, even after only a couple of sessions. She's able to make connections out of what we say and give us tools and insights that make sense, and that we wouldn't have thought of.

A very good listener whose concerns are the same as ours. Always leaves us with good advice and techniques to use.

Written on Mar 28, 2019 after therapy with Pamela for 7 months on issues concerning relationship

She is great. Listens closely to what my husband and I say and helps us process and work through our thoughts. With her help, our marriage has improved greatly.

Written on Feb 07, 2019 after therapy with Pamela for 4 months on issues concerning relationship

She stuck with me when I lost everyone because of my addiction. She was a driving force to go to treatment and I did and I completed and still clean. I can't even begin to thank her. Words are worthless at the point just actions will be the only way I can really thank her.

Work with me!
