Josh was referred to us by our friends during a huge marriage crisis. In just a matter of a few months Josh was able to give us the tools to really work through this time both in and out of his office. I really appreciate Josh's style and it worked very well for us. He has a process lined up for each sessions and a structure set up so I felt we accomplished small steps each week that led to our healing. The tools he gave us we will hopefully continue to use even when we are finished seeing Josh. I also liked that he had an end in mind for us in terms of number of sessions and was really able to adjust his style for us individually. I would refer Josh to anyone at any time.

Josh is AMAZING! My wife and I have seen Josh regularly for about a year, and now see him just every once in a while. The transformation in our marriage and intimacy level is something that I couldn't have even imagined a year ago. We had been to other therapists in the past and found ourselves even more at odds with each other. But Josh does not overlook any detail or waste any of your precious time when it comes to getting your life and marriage to the place you want it to be. I feel like we owe Josh the world because more than a year ago I thought I was certainly going to be a single again. We have also referred him to many other couples and everyone that sees him has been very thankful for the great referral. And the funny thing is we don't really plan on referring him, but our friends see the dramatic change in our relationship and want to see him for themselves!

We're getting married in two months and we just wanted to make sure we ere making the right decision. Josh helped us go into our upcoming marriage with greater confidence and love than ever. The best thing about him was that he was present with us on an emotional level. He never pushed us but just helped us get in touch with where we were at with no pressure. Our issues came out but were able to deal with them in a calm manner, not with a lot of screaming and yelling. He created a safe space for us to really make progress. Highly recommended.

My husband and I went to Mr Nelson and in 15 minutes he told my husband get a divorce. We walked out and I was in tears. He was so unprofessional and rude. I don't know how he is in practice.

My husband and I had ONE session with Joshua Nelson which was more than enough for us. Joshua Nelson was beyond erratic which was so incredibly disappointing. Twenty minutes into the session he was labeling both of us and saying things like if you don't learn to read each others feelings you're relationship is toast. My husband was infuriated. Joshua continuously interrupted both of us mid sentence and insisted we read each others feelings day one. Mr. Nelson feels there's a one size fits all cookie cutter therapy approach. He's a horrible listener and interjects consistently disrupting your train of thought.
Mr. Nelson felt it necessary to share he has 30 years of experience and that he's been married for about the same. I don't know what he was trying to accomplish with that statement. I actually can't fathom anyone married to this opinionated individual. He's arrogant, judgmental, condescending and rude.
And above all he's a crook. We went for marriage counseling and he insisted to bill both our insurance carriers and charge each of us a copay. Upon investigation this is beyond unethical and disgraceful.
His bogus feelcloser.com website is an insult and total false advertisement. His need to place a video of himself just proves how egocentric he truly is. One good thing came out of that session. My husband and I agreed he was an educated imbecile.

My fiancé wanted us to see someone for premarital counseling before the "big" day. This seemed like a waste of money to me, but eventually I gave in and went with her to see Josh. That first meeting was pretty eye opening, I expected it to be boring and slightly intrusive, it was anything but.

We talked about things that had never been discussed and that led the way to some pretty raw and honest moments between us. We both learned a lot about each other and about how we wanted to approach married life. It turns out that out of all the wedding expenses, this one had the best return on my investment. I don't remember us ever having conversations to this depth about our future, kids, even our bucket list. It put us both in the right mindset to take this crazy next step together and I am more certain than I ever was about him being the right guy for me. We still see Josh occasionally and I am sure that we will continue to as we hit bumps in the road. He has been a very good support system for our relationship and for us as individuals.

This is the first review I have ever given on Wellness. But I really wanted to find a way to thank Josh Nelson for the important work that he accomplished with me and my husband. I also want other couples to find this review and go to Josh if they are trying to decide where to go for couples counseling. I found him on a website for EFT (emotionally focused therapy). My husband and I were in a place where we could not seem to break bad communications patterns. We both very much wanted to love each other well but felt blocked. After our counseling with Josh we feel equipped to listen, hear and relate with each other (even in conflict). Marriage is still work but we now feel refreshed and excited about our journey together. We would love to have him a resource throughout our marriage.

My husband and I began seeing Josh about 5 months ago for marriage counseling and it has made a huge difference in our ability to communicate and get to the heart of our issues. He has really helped us identify the deep down feelings that can fuel an argument and how to break the cycle that makes a simple misunderstanding turn into a vicious fight. Josh is extremely caring, patient, thoughtful, and funny ... which puts us both at ease. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for couple’s therapy.

Josh Nelson has been a major help to our relationship. When our marriage was in crisis, my husband wanted a male therapist and we found Josh. Although not all relationships are salvageable, he was very patient and professional with our struggles with trust and anger. He is extremely professional and was very effective for us. We are now a year and 4 months past the brink of divorce and have learned to work together as a team by using the communication tools that Josh coached us, very patiently through. Josh, we will be forever grateful! Thank you!
