About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 19 years of experience in the social work field. I have over 12 years of experience providing counseling and mental health services. I have extensive knowledge working with individuals and couples who have experienced some type of trauma or mental health crisis; specifically, individuals and couples who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, relationship issues, and anger issues. I enjoy working with a diverse clientele; I enjoy helping people in general navigate through life challenges.
My theoretical orientation in therapy is Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy. My counseling style is very laid back; I launch from a strength perspective; always exploring the strengths of the individual.
I believe in work life balance. Some of my self-care activities include tennis, exercise, travel, prayer, music, and spending time with family & friends.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for VaKendall Long . 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 have really enjoyed working with him! He’s genuine, listens, has no judgements, and is very kind.
Very attentive and listened to our concerns and gave us tools that help us grow and improve in our communication.
VaKendall is the answer to my prayers — he has offered us some very sound advice and being able to “chat” from our living room has made the whole experience easier. He gives very sound advice and encourages each of us to look internally and respond as well.
It was a pleasure to work with VaKendall for the last 8 months. He always checked up if it had been too long between sessions and was always encouraging in every way.
Very neutral young man. Great counselor and understanding of viewpoints. Affordable. Realistic.
Vakendall is a fantastic counselor who has helped my wife and I make great, real and lasting progress in our relationship. We love having him to lean on and talk to!
Very professional and very logical.
VaKendall is so easy to talk to. Has a wonderful spirit. I have only been with him 3 times in counseling, but I am certain God chose him for us.
He has been very helpful with ways to help us strengthen our relationship and overcome some difficult things. He's given us tips to help us communicate better and it has made us have more appreciation for each other.
VaKendall is great. He listens very well and gives good advice that actually helps.
Vakendall has been very helpful and insightful, marriage counseling is not easy and he has made it very open and communicative.
