I have also been a professor at the University of Texas teaching clinical skills to graduate social work students. My experience has been with a broad range of client issues across the life span. I have additional training in creative intuitive painting and the expressive arts and enjoy supporting clients in expressing their creativity to support their healing and personal growth. I strongly believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My clients have often commented on my “natural warmth and compassionate presence” and my “caring and accepting style”. I believe you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the challenges you are facing. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I look forward to supporting and empowering you on that journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Vicki Packheiser. 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.
Vicki Packheiser was the best thing that ever happened to our marriage and I fully believe that she saved our marriage. Her insight was beyond beneficial. Her sternness when needed, kindness when needed, and desire to truly listen and offer sound advice helped us both stay engaged in our weekly sessions. I could not be more thankful for the experience.
Vicki is very good with her questions to engage with us. Very good listener. Very helpful.
Vicki has been extremely helpful in navigating one of the hardest challenges in my life. She is eloquent, patient, kind, and extremely empathetic.
Vicki is the best therapist I’ve ever had.
We absolutely love Vicki! She has helped us learn better communication skills and taught us how to really listen to one another. Therapy sessions have absolutely changed our marriage for the better and the future definitely seems brighter!
Good. Very open minded.
Vicki Packheiser is a great therapist. She took a very light hearted and caring approach during our sessions. I feel like the session provided a judgement free and safe environment to talk about my relationship goals and areas of improvement. She’s excellent at listening and getting you to pay more attention to the origin of why you may do things/think in a certain pattern. Most times everything we do/believe is tied to our experiences and she helped me be mindful of that. Thank you!
Vicki has been absolutely amazing for my wife and I. Our sessions have been very productive and she is very caring!
Vicki is a kind, compassionate, and validating listener. She’s the type of therapist who listens to learn and understand versus the type that listens only to respond. We’ve already made what feels like healthy progress for my journey, and I am extremely grateful to have matched with her.
Vicki has been very understanding and encouraging ! She has done a formidable job of making us see both the positive and negative aspects in our relationship and reminding us - from the start - why we are together in the first place. We look forward to working with her for longer
So far Vicki has been great
