Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shanua Smith. 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.

Written on Nov 13, 2025 after therapy with Shanua for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Shanua is extremely smart and a great listener. In the few short weeks we have been with her it has been an amazing journey discovering ourselves and becoming closer as a couple. We love working with her and she gets us and understands our points of view.

Shanua can take two people's perspectives and make sense of it. she not afraid to hold you accountable but at the same time she listens and offers solutions or a path forward.
