Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Seth Gruenwald. 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.
Seth is OUTSTANDING. He listens, he's well educated and very good. I wish I could carry him in my pocket and I actually do!
Seth is really great at understanding what I’m saying and reflecting it back so everyone understands. He really listens and gives helpful advice on how to better communicate and understand each other.
An excellent therapist, his help has made the world of difference to us both.
Seth is extremely helpful during our sessions, and we are very grateful we found him. He approaches therapy in a very easy, conversational way, but also relates things back to psychology and evidence-based viewpoints.
We are super happy we found Seth and would highly recommend him. He asks the right questions, listens well and is very supportive. He provided us with lots of helpful resources and recommendations. He enabled us to understand our situation in a new light and has brought an emensly positive impact to our relationship. If we ever need therapy again we will be searching for him. Thank you Seth!
Seth really helped us understand eachother at a deeper level. Thank you Seth!
Only two sessions in and Seth has helped my partner and I communicate are issues together in a safe space. I feel as if he genuinely listens to the both of us, without taking sides, guiding us in a way to understanding how the other is feeling. Seth is extremely understanding where both of are emotionally and is a very helpful unbiased opinion.
