About me

I have been working as a mental health professional for 14 years. My approach is solution focused. I am not primarily concerned with how or why your present challenge developed, but rather will assist you in finding a way forward. I hope to elicit and reinforce your positive attributes and competencies and help you to access your inner strength. My goal is that you should feel better about yourself and life in general with the completion of our session together. Your ability to change or improve your situation depends on your desire to do so. My job is to awaken that desire within you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joshua Siskin. 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.

I would highly recommend Joshua Siskin as a therapist I have had two sessions with him and I already feel better. He is a great therapist.

I had a wonderful experience! I felt understood, listened to, and supported.

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!
