These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jose Velasquez. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Only 2 sessions and I've received tremendous advice and help. Joey is an outstanding listener and seems to immediately pick up on some trends he sees in my behavior and offers some ideas to work on these trends. I look forward to many sessions in the future.

Jose has been a pleasure to work with through ideas and thoughts with. Allowing for space to put thought to words with patients and understanding. He exercises the practice of investigating the core reasons for thought with a gentle touch. Allowing me to find my way with a bit of guidance that makes me feel cared for.

Clients such as myself, requiring help at crucial times in their lives, being more likely to delay seeking assistance from a therapist need a therpist with good listening skills. But more importantly, the talent to fill in a lot of blanks based off of short interactions. Jose has been off to a good start. He quickly gained dynamic perspective, giving him the ability to narrow in on what was was important to making a difference in my present life.

Joey Velasquez is the first person I could speak with 100% free. I was afraid to talk to others about my problems and as a result I became a person with anxiety and fully stress. The first day when I start to talk I wasn’t sure whether I should actually talk to him openly. However, after first halfway of the session I was fully comfortable to talk and vent my problems and release my stress. I was suffering from lack of sleep and major anxiety. With Joey’s strategies and discussion I could overcome up to the some point. After couple of session I was totally free to talk and I always wanted a good listener. He helped me to change my attitude and fear to do things. I reckon he is the only one person I could talk being myself.
He is professional, calm and very flexible person. I can recommend to anyone. I wish very good luck for his work that he could help so many people like me. I’m really great full to him to help me on my mental health that is crucial for me. I’m lucky that I select this app in the right time and I got the perfect person to get the support.
