I’ve got a history of therapist and I can assure outside of only 1 I had years ago the rest had a struggle with me. So I was nervous about trying better help and I was nervous to get along with who I was connected with but Joe is super awesome. And I look forward to all of our meetings. I do highly recommend better help and I’ve done so to everyone I know (which is maybe like 5 people) they have to find their own matches though cause Joe is mine.

Joe is a blessing! With many years of practice and expertise, he is able to walk me through issues easily and compassionately. By far the best therapist I've ever had! Between his supportive care and direct, no-holds-barred approach, he makes feel like a real person rather than just another patient. 10/10 highly recommend!

Dr Cooper was always receptive and understanding from day 1. After a few months working with him, I was able to finally find the answers I have been seeking for. Most importantly, he doesn't simply agrees with everything you say, but probes you with questions that will make you think deeply and consider alternatives you have likely missed.
Not only that, Mr. Cooper is always on time and flexible with dates, times and is always on time and ready to talk. I cannot recommend him enough.

Joe lends a compassionate ear without judgement, and has a natural way of communicating with clients that sets me at ease. I can tell him anything and even dropped a couple pretty big situational bombs within our sessions just when things in other areas seemed to be coming together and he took it all in stride. If you need a good sounding board in a judgement free zone, Joe’s compassionate demeanor could be a great fit.

Joe has been nothing short of a lifesaver. I know that sounds dramatic but I assure you it is accurate. He has responded to all messages very fast and the video sessions have been transformative. My only regret is that I didnt find Joe sooner. He has truly been a blessing.

Joe's approach is welcoming and warm. He passed no judgement and was a great listener to what my problems were without trying to immediate fix them. Learning and identifying key issues to help understand why I made decisions I made helped me immensely. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking help.

Joe is very professional and extremely kind and compassionate. He makes you feels comfortable as soon as you start speaking to him and is never judgmental. You can feel he really cares about the well-being of his patients.
In my case, I think I just need to speak and express how I felt. Joe listened, guided me and helped me express the root causes of my feelings/ behaviour.
I strongly recommend Joe.
