Written on Apr 25, 2023 after therapy with Joshua for 3 years and 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, self esteem, and career difficulties

Josh has the ability to see the big picture. He doesn't just focus on one particular issue but considers all the different factors that may be contributing to the problem. This has allowed me to gain a much deeper understanding of my situation and to develop effective strategies for moving forward.

Josh is incredibly empathetic and understanding. He creates a safe and welcoming environment where I feel comfortable opening up and sharing my thoughts and feelings.

Josh is incredibly knowledgeable about different approaches to therapy. He has provided me with a range of options and has helped me to identify the ones that will be most effective for me. This has allowed me to make real progress and to feel more in control of my life.

Josh has been attentive, empathetic, and supportive as I navigate life with anxiety and depression. He even checks in with me throughout the week to see how I’m doing, which makes such a big difference. He creates a safe space for me to be vulnerable without judgment, and provides gentle and thoughtful guidance on how to manage my anxiety symptoms. I’m so grateful that I was matched with Josh, I can’t imagine working with any other therapist.

Josh is a great therapist! He’s very considerate and accommodating of any schedule changes that might pop up, so he’s very easy to work with. He’s a very attentive listener and is adept at focusing on issues at hand, but he also won’t hesitate to switch gears or lighten the mood if the session becomes more intense/emotional than I’m comfortable with. I never feel overwhelmed when approaching an issue with him and I feel that we’ve been able to tackle all of my concerns at a pace that’s manageable for me.

Josh worked with me for 3 months. In this time I felt like he supported me with depression and anxiety. He not only talked me through it, he helped me developed skills to manage it long term and I now feel like I am better than ever at handling all the downs in life.
Thank you so much Josh

I've been talking to Josh on BetterHelp for two years now and continue to be incredibly happy with his services. I appreciate his style of therapy. You can tell he has a genuine interest in your health and wellbeing.

I have tried many psychologists and counsellors over the years and until now have struggled to develop the necessary trust you need in your therapist to ensure a successful therapeutic relationship.

I'm so glad I signed up to BetterHelp and was paired with Josh. He's easy to talk to and has the ability to put you right at ease. He's really flexible with his availability as well, which is fantastic as I live in the other side of the world!

I couldn't be happier with Josh as my therapist, and I look forward to working with him continuingly.

Josh is so supportive, professional, respectful, flexible, and creates a comfortable place for you to be 100% yourself without the fear of being judged. I’ve been taking these sessions with him more than 4 months and I saw a huge improvement in my life in so many levels. Everytime I speak with him I feel I am leaning something new and valuable. Besides the weekly phone calls, he checks on me throughout the week which is so nice of him.

I’m very happy to have Josh as my counselor. Been working with him for a while now. He always checks on me, and find a convenient time for video session that works for me, since I live in different country.
Before starting counseling I was very nervous to talk to someone about my issues, but Josh makes it very easy to communicate with! And because of him I’m able to know exactly what I need and understand myself more!

Joshua is a very pleasant and professional counselor to speak with. He responds and takes his time with everything your going through and helps in every way. I’m glad I have signed up with BetterHelp and choose him because I feel he has helped me in many ways and continues to do so everyday. There is many things he does to help you and very supportive with everything. I have never had to see or talk to someone about anything, but Joshua has made the process the best thing I choose to do in my life.

Joshua is an extremely supportive counselor, approachable,w and really easy to talk to.

He knows what he is doing he has helped me so much more than I had expected. I surely have never been to such good counseling. He is professional but not too much he allows himself to share as well with me so I feel like I know more about the person behind the screen and I always get quick responses. He is clearly doing something right because people around me notice a big change. I have recommended this site to almost all my friends.

Joshua has been the absolute best therapist I have ever came across. The most genuine, interested and thoughtful counselor I’ve been in contact with. He’s been a GREAT listener, with the most stimulating questions ever. He’s guided me through the roughest time I’ve been through, and I’ve been through too much bad. He’s shown me the light so slowly and progressively, yet so extremely powerfully. You are a very lucky human being if he’s matched up with you. Very dedicated and emotionally committed, would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs that type of guidance! Words can’t express my gratitude to the work he’s done with me:’))) I appreciate you so much Joshua, thank you for crossing paths with me!!!!!

I like his personality. He doesn't make me feel like a weirdo

Written on Sep 18, 2019 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety

Joshua has had a key role in my rehabilitation. The beauty about his style is it is quite passive. He slowly guides you to self-realization and helps you identify what triggers your relapse. It’s a day-by-day challenge and thankfully Joshua is always following up with me.

Written on Sep 02, 2019 after therapy with Joshua for 7 months on issues concerning depression, addictions, eating disorders, and self esteem

Joshua is extremely insightful and helpful. He communicates in a style that I can truly relate to and I appreciate that very much. His questions help me dig deep and think about my concerns and behaviors. I've been very comfortable talking with him and his continued attention to my concerns and reminders to stay in touch with him have been reassuring. I've been very pleased with our interactions and have made progress. I am grateful for him and his expertise.

I have only been working with Joshua for a short time, but so far he has been extremely helpful.

I look forward to continuing my work with him.

Straight into the deep stuff. Joshua doesn't waste time. Problems are targeted from day one unlike standard therapists who spend 4 sessions 'building their picture'. He comes across as honest, easy to talk to and is vigilant. His resume shows that he is highly experienced and working with him, this is very much apparent. Recommended.

Josh has been an excellent support for me while going through a very difficult breakup. It was easy to get to know him and connect quickly through our first few exchanges. He has listened carefully to my concerns, proposed questions that help me to process what has happened and most importantly he has “rode the wave” with me in a completely non-judgmental, encouraging manner.

I am so grateful for Josh’s insights and reminders of my strengths. He has helped me build emotional resilience and to develop confidence in my decision making. Would highly recommend him!
