These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joseph Hakim. 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.
Joe is a very patient and understanding man. He listens well and has great input at appropriate times. I find him to be very compassionate and professional.
This is my first therapist ever so I don't know how he compares to others, but I gotta say he has to be a shining example of what a therapist does and he definitely cares about the people he is working with.
