I am greatly thankful for getting matched with Joshua.
His expertise and professionalism have helped me to get back on track.
My anxiety attacks are almost nonexistent after finding out why I have them in the first place, all thanks to Joshua's advice and analysis skills.

I think joshua is extremely caring and dedicated. He's very respectful, punctual and from our short experience he seems like a very capable, skilled and knowledgeable professional in his field. And wiyh that said, a disclaimer should be said as well, the timing of this question is too soon for accurate and strongly based insight. Either way, Joshua Siskin is definitely a very precious soul and he really, really listens.
I don't know if that's the case but better help asked me for a review after what an algorithm would probably see as possitive interaction, so if my hunch is correct, the portion of the good / bad reviews might be controlled by manipulation and that's something more appropriate for a pay to win phone game and not a platform for psychological services. If that's the case and if the reviews are monitored - not cool betterhelp, not cool.
Anyway, Joshua Siskin, so far is really great!

Dr, Siskin is a a very attentive therapist. He knows how to listen, he is very supportive and easy to talk to.
He is really helpful when it comes to finding different approaches and finding a way to make things better.
It's been a short while, but I feel comfortable talking to him and very hopeful for the future...

Since the first session with Joshua I have seen a drastic improvement in my attitude towards life and internal processes , couple of sessions in and I can say that this attitude allowed me to progress in the areas in life of which I considered myself just before 'stuck'
I can go on and on but to keep it short and precise - I found massive value in the sessions with Joshua , and for that I'm grateful.

A very positive and optimistic therapist who is not willing to offer pragmatic and realistic solutions while being benevolent and attuned to his clients feelings and needs.

Dr. Siskin is a godsend. He embodies what one thinks of when they think of a great doctor. He is caring, kind, responsive, and thoughtful. He might be a little too good for his own benefit because I have had breakthroughs in our sessions that would have taken much longer with another doctor. He also is able to voice when he think I might be wrong, a quality I find sorely lacking with most therapists.
When I first started working with Dr. Siskin I was overwhelmed with the many issues that my life had encountered. Talking with him and working through my problems with him has let me unburden myself with many things.
I feel immense gratitude for Dr. Siskin and I am could not recommend him highly enough.

I’ve only had one session with Joshua but he seems to be very open minded and his first piece of advice to me really set me on the right path to helping my current struggle. I’m thankful for his advice.

1. Listens attentively to the problem statement. 2. Asks open questions to advance the thought process. 3. Suggests root causes and tests them collaboratively. 4. Introduces humor from time to time to break any tension. 5. A genuinely nice guy.
