These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Joshua Smith. 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.
Dr. Smith understood me right from the beginning. I initially had hesitation about the online format, but the effort he has put in to understand my needs and timeliness he has responded with has been a better experience than I could have imagined even with in person sessions.
