Client Testimonials

When we arrived at the counseling department to work with Josh we were very emotionally exhausted taking care of three high-needs grandchildren and being beaten down by life in general. We had a good marriage of 21 years but were extremely stressed out and it was wearing on us and our marriage was suffering. We spent our sessions learning how to de-stress, which in turn helped us to get back to putting our marriage first. And working with Josh, we came up with solutions and ideas for walking through our issues that we had with the kids. And now we are happy again and much more relaxed with each other and the kids and are very grateful to have the opportunity to work with him. Counseling at the Potter's House has given us a new lease on life.

We started coming to our one on one sessions with Josh about 19 weeks ago and ever since we started coming here we have seen a marked improvement in our relationship thanks to Josh's insightful and measured approach helping us figure out who we are as individuals, and as a couple. We will continue to utilize his useful advice and continue using the recommended methods to continue bettering ourselves and our marriage.

Two and a half years ago my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 head and neck cancer. He went in for a 7 hour procedure that turned into 10 1/2 hours. After being released from the hospital, we spent the next two and a half years slowly and painfully recovering. It was a long and difficult process for my husband, and during that time I was his primary caretaker. Finally, after what seemed like forever my husband was able to eat on his own again. However, we now had to face other problems. We were not the same people with the same assets. My husband had lost his job, we had no house to live in, our income had plummeted, and I was his caregiver. I had taken charge of everything. No one told us how to restart life again. How do we restart? How do we switch roles back to normality? What was normal for us now? How do we get back into normal society? But this is where Josh came in. He took so much time with us. He was kind, understanding, non judgmental, and wise. He stood by us when we couldn't stand by each other. He helped us clear our minds and see life differently. He got us through the worst.

You're a bitch, I hate you, why do you have to be so good at your job? To be totally honest though, you're the best therapist I've ever had, and the only one that has actually helped me and I've been in therapy since I was 14 (24 years old now)

If you appreciate direct communication mixed with a silly sense of humor and a splash of nerdiness, you'll enjoy working with Josh. He'll welcome you into a relaxed space where you can be authentic and say what you need to say. His straight forward approach will help you stay accountable to yourself and your treatment.
