Joshua Nelson, LMFT, LCSW

Spare your selves!!! My husband and I went to his Manhattan office; how he has a license to practice is beyond us. He obviously has a problem with women, he would ask my husband what i have done to offend him and then would instigate it by saying «oh, she went there» then would barley ask me what was bothering me. In the first 10 he basically told us to go our separate ways. He said that if u «don’t fight you don’t fuck» WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!! He then kept basically try to talk us out of working things out. He wanted to record us and when we decline gave us an attitude. When we told him we were married two years but together 11 yrs he made a noise as if we are in trouble. He didn’t direct us with anything but rather was negative the entire time and seemed as if he wanted us to give up. When i mentioned things i loved about my husband he replied «oh there is something positive in a condescending sarcastic voice. He had no people skills, speaks like he has marbles in his mouth, then when you ask him to repeat himself he makes an annoyed face expression. There is a problem when the couple walks out feeling worse than they came in because they had someone that knew them five minutes say we were better off divorced. In describing what id like for my husband to do he says «people don’t change» SO HOW ARE YOU IN BUSINESS!!! He does not believe in change in positive outcomes. There must be baggage he is carrying from being hurt in the past that you not only tried to discourage us from seeking help but also staying together and he has done it to other couples as well. Then when my husband describes he is passive he says he’s a «PUSSY»!!! There is a difference and who the HELL uses that language with their clients??? I would go back if i needed someone to talk me into jumping off a building. The most disgusting experience we have ever had. The one star is because i needed it to write a review. Our chances are better with no therapy than with his!!!

I am reporting you to the state’s medical board for insurance fraud. Charging our insurance company for a canceled appointment is not only fraudulent, but unprofessional, and honestly rather scary. You are a poor excuse for a therapist, and I am very happy that we never met with you.
I’ve already notified our insurance company that your claim was fraudulent.
The only reason I gave one star is because I couldn’t post this without it.
Beware Unilocalers. Insurance fraud and basically just not a «normal» therapist.

By far the worst experience ever. My husband and I went to Joshua to help us understand why our marriage was heading in divorce. For 15 minutes Joshua Nelson allowed my husband to say everything negative about me and never allowed me to talk. After 15 minutes he said «ok you guys are done I can’t help you. Get a divorce and let this be a lesson to the both of you.» I was hysterical in tears and he could have cared less. Very unprofessional and rude. This mans license needs to be taken away.
