About me

Despite what the movies show us, being a couple and being in a relationship is not easy.

The biggest challenge is communication. We all do it, yet it is not easy to communicate our thoughts and feelings in a way that the other person not only hears what you are saying, but also understands what you are saying to them.

When the other person does not respond the way you had anticipated them to do, anger and resentment can build leading to a cycle of continued miscommunication and the feelings associated with not being heard and understood.

In my experience working with couples, combined with my education and training, I have learned that if 2 people have the same ultimate goal, then my job is to help them understand how to communicate in a different way so that each partner is heard and understood.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Steven Levey. 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.
