Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Yvette Smith. 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.
Yvette has made a positive and lasting impact on our lives. I appreciate her caring nature along with the way she challenged me and told the uncomfortable truths that I needed to hear. I felt supported and championed. I highly recommend Yvette if you want a therapist who is down to earth, encourages you to identify and address parts of yourself that you ignore or suppress, and will be on your team to cheer you on.
Yvette has a kind, understanding personality, with the clarity to call you out on things that can be improved about your owm behavior or beliefs. its always a great experience to receive help from her, cant recommend Yvette enough!
Yvette is attentive, detailed and caring. We feel safe and confident of her ability to help us work on our issues. She has been helpful and providing us really good insights. Overall, she a great!!!
Our therapist, Yvette, presents a good balance of empathetic listening and challenge. The work she puts into our sessions, and the work she has us do is already showing fruit.
Mrs Yvette is amazing and full of great wisdom and advice.
Yvette has been amazing for us. She always listens intently and offers practical guidance to support us. We have learned to communicate better and more often. We hope to have her in the future for keeping open lines of communication.
I had my first session with Yvette yesterday and it was very natural, she made the all session very comfortable for me. I would with no hesitation recommend Yvette.
Yvette is kind, caring, and truly cares about what we are going through. She offers amazing help and tools to set us up for success!! She’s fantastic!
Yvette was amazing in being non bias in marriage counseling for my husband and me. She was down to Earth, relatable, and real.
My husband and I just started counseling with Yvette and have been happy with her timely and insightful responses. We both feel heard and she has helped to facilitate better communication between us so far. I’m looking forward to the breakthroughs to be had!
Yvette is very helpful and understanding. She can understand what me and my husband fell. She become our mediator when there is issue in our relationship. We fell much better after counselling with her. Our relationship improves in a few weeks.
Thank you Yvette
