Josh has been very helpful to me. He is a great listener, very supportive, and easy to talk to. His responses have been raw and real, which I appreciate so much. I feel like a heaviness has been lifted when I leave his office. He also sent me a resource that he knew would be helpful to my situation. I would highly recommend Josh, as he has a genuine desire to help!

"I've had many therapists over the years and this is the first who doesn't make therapy feel like a task, intimidating, or like an alienating place; he is 'non-traditional' in the best sense, making conversation like taking to a friend while still addressing and progressing the major points needing work. He, unlike many I have met with, always recalls the details of my situation ensuring i feel known and doesn't simply mirror back through questions but truly prompts me with insightful inquiries that result in progress, little by little. It takes a lot to give your trust to a stranger with your deepest fears and most personal issues; this is one of few therapists that deserves that trust."

Josh hands down is an amazing Counselor ,very supportive but honest , loving an caring but takes recovery very serious.. Hey brother I'll be in Mass for the next two months I'll call you when I'm coming to Boston an see you..

Years ago I went to Josh as a friend for advise for a family member. He was so helpful in not only trying to give me the information I needed but also he was so full of compassion for what myself and the family was going through. I will never forget his willingness to help.

I highly recommend Josh. He is Empathetic, insightful, caring.

I would refer a family member to JBJ Counseling.

Josh takes an open-minded and unique approach to addiction counseling that is individualized with each of his clients, tailoring each session in an idiosyncratic and “casual” way. I continue my sessions with Josh with hope and positivity. Josh is an amazing counselor and an even better friend.

I’ve been going to Josh for counseling for about six months now and I’ve been able to maintain with his guidance my longest period of sobriety to date. He has an easy and gentle approach that allows you to open up at your own pace. He pushes when needed but always in a kind and respectful way. He is very knowledgeable and has a lot of real life experience with addiction and I feel he truly cares about my wellbeing.

Our family has worked with many therapists over the past decade, and Josh is by far the most caring, knowledgeable, accessible and effective. Not only did Josh help my son completely turn his life around, but he was there for me as well. There were times when texting from inside of the ER was the only way I could contact Josh, and no matter what day of the week or time of day, Josh offered thoughtful, patient guidance. Now, eight years later, our family has made amazing progress, and he remains the first person we go to when challenges arise.

Thankful Mom

Josh is an exceptional therapist who truly goes above and beyond for his clients. His unique combination of professional expertise, personal experience with addiction, and outstanding communication skills makes him an invaluable guide for anyone navigating the challenges of recovery. Josh has not only provided me with insightful and compassionate support, but he has also taken the time to educate and engage with my family and friends, helping them better understand addiction and its complexities. His dedication, empathy, and ability to foster real connections make a profound difference in the lives of those he works with. I highly recommend Josh to anyone seeking a therapist who genuinely cares and is committed to helping individuals and families overcome addiction and stay on the path to lasting recovery.

I met Josh several years ago and he has walked with me through very dark times in my life. I met him at my first naranon meeting and I felt an immediate connection. He has always been there to offer guidance, listen, andhas given me great comfort. Josh has a generosity of spirit that is palpable, always kind, honest and never judgmental.

Thank you, Josh for everything you have done for me and my family.

I’ve been working with josh for about 4 years now he has always been there for me when I needed him. I met josh I was in a very bad place and since then I have done a total 360. I think joshes biggest asset is he’s relatable for anyone dealing with substance abuse issues. I’m very thankful to have him in my life.

“Josh takes a real, down to earth approach to counseling creating a cool , calm and supportive space where everyone is heard. Our family experience has been truly life-changing.”

Josh is a fantastic therapist who takes the time to get to know the specific person if front of him rather than treating a patient. He is able to adapt his sessions to address the things that mattered to me. I highly recommend going to him if more clinical styles haven’t worked for you

Josh has helped me tremendously over the last year. He creates a comfortable environment that allows me to open up and discuss my problems to not just a therapist but a friend. I always look forward to my sessions with Josh and feel like I can freely express my emotions without judgment and receive honest, helpful feedback. Josh truly is one of a kind and has a unique and casual approach to counseling. I highly recommend Josh to anybody struggling with drugs/alcohol, relationships or family problems.

Joshua’s compassionate and real approach to addiction and recovery literally saved our son’s life. He is the North Star we did not know we needed until we did. As a family we depend on Joshua’s knowledge and experience to help us navigate the Black Hole of recovery. Hands down the best human for any human. 💛MP

“Joshua has taken the time to know me and my situation personally, from the start of my journey to currently. Often going above and beyond to accommodate any needs or crisis that may arrive. Josh has been a literal life saver and someone to turn to when there aren’t many options available that feel safe, comfortable and judgement free.”

With immense sincerity I want to express my profound gratitude and wholehearted endorsement of Josh for the exceptional support he has been providing to my son, JH,  over the past year. As a licensed addiction counselor with over 13 years of experience, Josh’s expertise and compassionate approach have been pivotal in J’s journey toward recovery.

Josh’s collaboration with the Recovery Team at the University J was attending in the south was marked by professionalism and dedication. He ensured seamless communication and coordinated care, which were instrumental in J’s  safe return home and subsequent enrollment in a rehabilitation program. Josh ability to relate to his clients on a personal level, meeting them where they are, fosters an environment of trust and openness. His emphasis on client autonomy empowers individuals to take charge of their recovery journey, instilling a sense of accountability and confidence.

What sets Josh apart is his unwavering commitment to his clients’ well-being. He creates a supportive and non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard and understood. His approach integrates motivational interviewing and behavioral therapy, tailored to meet the unique needs of each person.  Josh’s belief that “clients are their own experts” resonates deeply, as he guides my son to discover his own solutions and strengths.

I am deeply appreciative of Josh’s  role in my son’s recovery and highly recommend his services to anyone seeking compassionate and effective support in overcoming addiction.

Thank you Josh, do not know what we would have done without you and your relationship with J.

When I first started counseling with Josh, he was instrumental in helping me through an acute situation, but what really stood out was how he stayed in tune with where I was and helped me get to the root of things. Over time, that support led to real growth and lasting change.
