Thomas is a level 3 Gottman Trained Therapist. The Gottman model, developed by Julie and John Gottman over the last 40 years is an internationally recognized evidenced based therapy model for couples. Clients seem to connect well with the approach as it models what couples do in conversations that create barriers to understanding and models what healthy couples do instead. The Gottman model provides practical/real life- based skills for rebuilding communication, restoring intimate connections, and recovering from deep emotional wounds.
Thomas is a different kind of therapist. He is both old and young. calm and excited, hopeful and pragmatic, clinical but real. He does not treat a diagnosis but rather people. He works to know you. Thomas draws from his Christian faith and his life experiences with 12- step programs to provide his clients with the best possible counsel to achieve their desired change. Thomas can help you be your "better person", thrive, and make life and relationships worth while again.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Thomas Whitt. 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.
We had a fantastic experience with Thomas as our couples therapist. He was incredibly patient with us and provided us with valuable tools that we needed to navigate our relationship more effectively. Throughout our sessions, we felt that we really grew as a couple under his guidance. Thomas wasn't afraid to challenge us when needed, which ultimately helped us grow for the better. We highly recommend him to any couple looking to strengthen their relationship.
We feel comfortable and supported by Thomas and look forward to every session! He offers compassionate advice while holding each of us accountable. We enjoy working with him very much.
