Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Vanessa Okechukwu. 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.
Vanessa was always kind and open to listen to all of my thoughts. I truly appreciate the insight she gave me.
Vanessa is absolutely amazing! Love that she seems to genuinely care about us :)
We had our first session with Vanessa and we were so pleased!! She is personable, funny and very insightful! Looking forward to the process with her! She made us feel very hopeful and positive!
Vanessa has been wonderful! She is very warm and personable, and has a great balance of expertise and humor.
Amazing therapist. Very thoughtful and is a great listener. My partner and I are berry glad we found her
I am very happy with Vanessa Okechukwu. She is so easy to talk to and gives great suggestions. I look forward to our sessions.
Really enjoying my time and conversation with Dr. Vanessa
Vanessa has been great. She's listens and gives good practicle advise and solutions
Vanessa is INCREDIBLE! My fiance and I were about to call of our engagement, but in talking with her, we found a solution and we have been better than ever. If it wasn't for Vanessa, I don't think we would be together. She has been an angel and we are both honestly so thankful for her advice and guidance. She is very caring and thoughtful. She makes light out of dark situations, and provides guidance when we need it the most. She also always checks in every few days which shows me that she really does care. I am so thankful for Vanessa. She really has changed our lives. We couldn't recommend Vanessa even more. Her happy, energetic, warm-hearted spirit is one that is hard to find in a person, let alone a therapist. Trust me, you won't be disappointed in the therapy you will receive from Vanessa. Love her!!
She is extremely kind, professional and empathetic. She is well experienced and transparent in giving advice.
I feel that Vanessa is very attentive to the concerns/issues affecting me and my spouse. Her positive engagement during sessions, as well as chat in-between sessions, never lets me feel as though we are out of touch with her.
Vanessa is great
