About me
I strongly believe in the need to meet people from exactly where they are coming from and then collaborating with them so that together we can work on positive change. I employ a nonjudgmental, open, supportive approach. I believe that all people are deserving of dignity and respect! My counseling style is best described as person-centered. I use cognitive behavioral therapy as well as motivational counseling. With regard to family and couples counseling I would best describe my approach as couple-centered. I am neither predisposed toward reconciliation nor toward the ending of a relationship. That is to say, my primary focus is to assist couples and families in deciding what their best course of action needs to be given their circumstances. I frequently work with couples in order to resolve resentment and blame and to improve their communication styles and patterns.
My areas of interest include substance use disorders. I work with both persons with the disorder as well as persons living with someone who has that disorder. My full time employment currently includes working in a treatment center. As such in addition to working with people in treatment, I frequently work with couples and families who struggle with this condition. I also regularly work with persons who have experienced abuse, trauma, depression, and anxiety. In addition I focus on motivation and self-esteem issues, relationship issues, life changes, and intimacy issues. I am very familiar with and believe in the value of mindfulness and meditation and teach same where I work on a regular basis. I regularly work with persons with struggle with grief-related issues.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for David Brumbaugh. 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 have loved and enjoyed working with Mr. Brumbaugh for counseling. He is fair, a great listener, and very positive and supportive. We look forward to our sessions with him and would highly recommend him.
David is kind and helps me put things in perspective. I was very apprehensive about therapy but I am glad I did, David put me at ease and made me feel heard for the first time in my life.
Very helpful! And understanding!
