About me
I have been a divorce and criminal attorney for 40 years, mediator, college professor and finally when I decided slow down being a counselor of law decided to become just a counselor and use all that I have learned over all these careers. Many relationships are unique in their own way and continue to grow as the parties age and their relationship changes. Acceptance of the change is sometimes the hardest step to accept. The relationship is not only between two people but of their extended families. Boundaries must be set sometimes to keep the core relationship going. This step is difficult in many cases and choices must be made. I view relationship counseling as a contract between the parties and the counselor to make the relationship work. All parties must have the same goal either to leave the relationship or find a new direction to save it. Having been a divorce attorney for many years (40) is a very valuable asset for marriage counseling.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Phyllis Lonneman. 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.
Phyllis was very helpful to our needs. She’s fun to talk to and still makes sure we get to the deeper points of why we are in therapy. Our communication as a couple has improved and we no longer argue as much as we did when discussion tough topics we need to work through in order to get to solutions. Things have changed significantly for the better and we believe we are on the right track and will fully be able to talk through issues without circling other topics very soon. Phyllis is amazing!
