Regain review

Regain is the relationship counseling service from the same company as BetterHelp. After sign-up you are matched with a therapist based on your goals and the issues you face, and you can ask for a different therapist at any time. Couples share one account to message the therapist and book joint phone or video sessions, and each partner can join from a different location, which helps long-distance couples or people with clashing schedules. Messages in the joint account are visible to both partners, and either partner can schedule a one-on-one session. Therapists must hold a relevant degree, have at least three years of experience and be credentialed by their professional body. Regain says plainly it is not the right fit for minors, for crisis situations or for anyone in a physically abusive relationship or concerned for their safety, and it points people who want individual therapy to BetterHelp. Pricing depends on location, preferences and therapist availability and is billed every four weeks. Our fetch showed euro prices only, so the US price is pending.
