About me
Hello: Many years ago in private practice I developed an eight week program for couples who were having serious relationship issues and were considering divorce. I gathered many communication techniques and skill-building exercises that helped individuals better understand and consider the experience of the other person. Along with self-discovery and reviews of values I helped couples make informed decisions about their future as a couple. My orientation is that the relationship is my client and the individuals take responsibility for themselves. We had many successful outcomes.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Terence "Terry" Rooney. 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.
Great therapist
He saved our relationship! We started with Dr . Rooney when we were engaged and didn’t know how to communicate with each other and I’m happy to report that we’re now happily married with baby on the way. He’s kind, compassionate, supportive, very effective and extremely knowledgeable therapist! We continue to do the necessary work with him and are beyond grateful for all of his help. He’s honestly a true blessing in our lives! Thank you Dr. Rooney! You’re the best!
Dr. Rooney is amazing, he's been challenging us to think in each others shoes and consider the larger picture. he's been giving us tools to deescalate our conflicts so they dont reach critical mass. it's been very helpful
He’s great and being very helpful.
Terry is extremely easy to communicate with, he understands our concerns. He can easily break down what we're trying to communicate to our partner in ways that we ourselves could have never done
In just a few weeks of having sessions with Terry we've learned new skills and our situation is improving.
Would highly recommend him
Very attentive
Terry is the best! He provides a ton of insight and has really helped our relationship. I would definitely recommend him!
My partner and I started seeing Dr. Rooney a few months ago. He has always approached each situation with a great attitude, and asks both of us how we feel in each situation. He has helped us overcome our challenges, and has even shared a few stories about himself, which made him more personable. He feels like a friend with great advice!
Terry is beyond the best therapist we have ever seen
Dr Rooney has some good tools
Excellent therapist. Dedicated to clients. Very insightful and competent. Highly recommend.
Dr. Rooney is a great therapist and listens well and has great constructive advice.
We worked with Dr. Rooney for just a couple of months but in that short time, we’ve been able to improve our communication as a couple.
We came to him with a goal in mind and he helped us achieve that goal. He helped us get there by connecting with us, creating a neutral safe space, giving us guidance on what we could do better and explanations on how our brains work.
We had a lot of “aha!” moments during our sessions with him.
We highly recommend checking in with Dr. Rooney. We have had other therapists before, but he’s been the only one to make a true positive difference.
Excellent
Dr Rooney is amazing therapist full of kindness, support and patience. He has strong expertise in marriage counselling and addiction counselling. Cannot recommend him enough.
Dr Rooney has helped us tremendously! My husband and I have seen numerous couples therapists and for once we can leave a session feeling better than we came into it. No yelling or arguing, just open communication.
Dr. Rooney has been great. The active listening exercises have really helped us work through our arguments and we hope to implement it for better communication.
Dr Rooney has been great in facilitating our concerns and providing insight into resolving them. Thank you!
Dr. Rooney has been very helpful to us as a couple and has facilitated communication and problem-solving with methods that we continue to use daily.
Dr. Rooney was a pleasure to work with. He is very easy to talk to, knowledgeable and experienced. He knows what he's talking about! Through our sessions he guided myself and my partner to where we want to be in our relationship. Big thanks Dr!
Dr. Terry is a great counselor. He always listened and focused on our needs and what we needed to talk about. He is also easy going and easy to talk to. He has years of practical experience to back up his methods.
