Joe, you are the BEST therapist I've ever had, and I've had a few. You don't just listen, you empathize, challenge, and coach. You give me hope.

Joe is an incredible therapist. I have made so much progress with him and our sessions have truly changed my life. I can't believe how many things he has helped me to either accept, overcome, get over, get comfortable with, build resilience around, etc. He is a great listener, gives excellent and often specific advice, appropriately shares from personal experience, offers a lot of flexibility, and more. I will forever be grateful for my time with Joe and all of the positive change and transformation he has helped me to cultivate in my life.

Joe is amazing. He's thoughtful and sincere. I'm happy to have spent the last couple of months with Joe as my Therapist. We've made some great progress and look forward to our future sessions.
