These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joel Straussner. 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.
Great personal connection. Love the direct talk, focused on ways to improve things rather than just listening to me complain. I appreciate everything he is doing for my mental health.

All around good man, he’s helping me figure out my place in life and how to deal with the issues I have. I’m working harder on opening up as I get more comfortable as this is my first real attempt at therapy.
