I have worked with many individuals and families, who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, trauma/abuse, family problems, addictions of all kinds, relationships/parenting, and many more in different settings.
My counseling style is relationship-centered, compassionate, focused, and validating. I pride myself on being a patient mental health provider and a good listener that will meet you where you are and help you to set realistic and actionable goals for treatment. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based counseling techniques.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Adewale (Wale) Adegbenle. 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.
Wale is always considerate of our requirements and schedule.
He is a really patient person who notices issues and is quick to try to solve it. He allows freedom for growth and reflection by ourselves. Highly recommend
Wale has provided myself and, as or more importantly, my husband— a way of opening up communication in our marriage, through his key questions during therapy and easygoing, unrushed manner. The “homework” he’s given us has offered much perspective for us both. What I also learned is that there’s still much work to do in this endeavor, so I’m grateful for Wale for being our therapist.
Therapist is excellent.
Wale has truly been a blessing during a difficult time. His authentic approach made my husband and I feel very comfortable immediately which was very important as we shared and explored extremely private aspects of our life with him. He has made it a priority to do weekly check-ins between sessions and has also been very accommodating with our schedules. Through our interacts it is quite evident that he truly values the work that he does!!
