Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rene Stockton. 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.
Rene is a great couples counselor. He takes time to listen to both my and my partner's perspective, and has supported us with tools to help manage expectations from one another, as well as, tools to help cope with and manage anxiety. He's extremely easy and comfortable to talk with and our sessions have been very impactful in such a short amount of time.
Rene is great. He makes us feel as though he is in this with us for the long haul, which is very much appreciated.
In a time of crisis in our relationship, Rene helped guide us to getting back on track with our communication and understanding of what each of us needed to have a happy and healthy relationship. I highly recommend him to any couple who needs help getting back on each others side.
This has been an amazing experience that all couples should have the opportunity to do. Our level of communication has elevated and given us the opportunity to grow on this journey. I’m grateful and honored we get gleam from his wisdom.
I think Rene Stockton was a good choice to receive counseling from for my partner and I. As a person of color, I was able to feel understood and not feel judged for the habits I have. And he does a great job in explaining what is needed for a relationship.
Rene helped me figure out what my therapy goals were & then worked diligently to help me achieve them with respect and empathy. I highly recommend him for anyone needing couples therapy.
He great at identifying the issue and calling it out. He is easy to talk to and fair. Have had great sessions and many breakthroughs in a short amount of time.
