About me
Relationships can bring love, companionship, and belonging, but they can also become painful when communication breaks down or the same conflicts keep repeating. If you and your partner feel unheard, disconnected, or uncertain about your future, you do not have to work through it alone.
Hello, I am Peggy Ann Serena Hemmer, though I prefer to be called Serena. Since 2004, I have provided compassionate, holistic counseling to couples, adults, and families. I am a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from The Ohio State University and certification in Gottman Couples Counseling.
My role is not to take sides or decide who is right or wrong. I provide a respectful, supportive space where both partners can feel heard and understood. Together, we can improve communication, change painful patterns, rebuild trust and intimacy, and clarify the healthiest path forward.
My approach integrates evidence-based therapies with an understanding of the connection between mind, body, relationships, and—when requested—spirit. Spirituality is never assumed or imposed.
I understand the courage it takes to ask for help. Whether you hope to reconnect, heal, strengthen your relationship, or gain clarity about its future, I will meet you with compassion, honesty, and without judgment.
Change is possible. Together, we can begin creating greater understanding, peace, and connection.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rev. Peggy Ann "Serena" Hemmer. 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.
Serena is really a great therapist :)
In a short space of time she has already provided us with so many tools to help us communicate. Each session we learn and grow a little more. She understands both our points of views and keeps us honest!
Rev. Hemmer is excellent for both of us. Fair, non-judgmental and always suggesting new things without forcing them on us. “Serena” constantly helps us explore new ways to understand each other and we look forward to our session every week.
Serena is great. Just 5 minutes into the session and I can feel the stone being lifted from my chest. Really look forward to every session with Serena every week.
She’s a great listener and very calming
Rev. Hemmer has been exceptional in helping my wife and I become better partners for one another. I am so grateful that we were matched with someone as phenomenal as her.
Very insightful
Good listener and helpful in creating frameworks to facilitate discussion
