Testimonials

"Joel is the first person I make referrals to for individual and marriage counseling."

"I highly recommend Dr. Joel Caldwell to congregants of North Syracuse Baptist Church.  He is the first person that I make referrals to for individual and marriage counseling.  He is very knowledgeable, personal, and compassionate.  Dr. Caldwell has gone way beyond the 'call of duty', so to speak, with clients that I have referred to him.  I have often had people tell me how much they are being helped by him in the counseling sessions."

"With Joel, investing in people has become more of a lifestyle than it is a career."

"Joel is a friend, and a kind and capable counselor.  His training and life experience gives him a unique ability to help people who are struggling through various situations in life.  Joel and I built a friendship before we began interacting professionally, and it has been a blessing on both levels.  Joel's compassion and professionalism mix incredibly well.  With Joel, investing in people has become more of a lifestyle than it is a career.  He is driven to keep growing personally, with his own circles of relationships, and professionally.  Additionally, Joel understands authority, and team play, making him a pleasure to work with.  As a pastoral counselor, I need a guy like Joel to carry the ball where I am unable to at times, and refer people to him regularly with complete confidence."

"He has done wonders for me in my life and I will continue to see him in the future."

Joel's knowledge base has always been appropriately accurate for any aspect of counseling that I have needed.  Joel has always been able to answer my questions.  Joel has always gone out of his way to speak in a language that I can understand, even if it means taking the extra time to do so.  Joel is very accessible in person and via phone and has always immediately returned calls.  I am extremely pleased with Joel's efforts on my behalf.  I would absolutely refer family and friends to Joel for counseling.  He is extremely professional and helpful.  I have been to many counselors in the past and never felt more comfortable confiding in a healthcare provider.  He has done wonders for me in my life and I will continue to see him in the future.

"He is genuine and truly cares about my experiences and things in my life..."

"I've been meeting with Joel on a regular basis.  I've never had a long term experience discussing aspects of my life with anyone in a counseling session prior to Joel.  It took a lot of courage for me to see somebody professionally.  I get a lot of clarity talking with Joel.  He is approachable and it is easy for me to converse with him.  He is not judgmental and listens to all I have to share with him and often offers me advice and perspective.  I feel he is genuine and truly cares about my experiences and things in my life that I discuss with him.  I appreciate that he remembers our discussions, he brings up things from past meetings in order to talk more about those topics.  I also like that I can talk with him about my faith.  My faith is very important and I know it is to Joel too.  It gives me great satisfaction to be able to talk with him openly about the Lord.  I can truly say I feel a lot more at peace since meeting with Joel."

"Joel has helped me find the true cause of my long-standing issues that were disrupting my life."

"I have been meeting with Joel for about a year.  I have been to other therapists in the past and have come to realize that Joel has helped me with finding the true cause of my long-standing issues that were disrupting my life.  He guides me as I become aware of my actions and positive ways to overcome my self-inflicting behaviors and thoughts.  I would recommend Joel to others in a heartbeat.  I am very thankful to have the opportunity to be able to work with him."

"I've had many other counselors, but none have come close to Joel's help and how he has actually made a difference and a real impact on my life."

Right from the start, I felt very comfortable with Joel and the way he presented himself and conducted his business.  He is great at his profession, always answers all of my questions clearly to where I understood and he listens to me to where I always feel heard, respected, and understood.  I feel very comfortable with a one-on-one with Joel throughout all my sessions with him.  Any time an appointment needs to be changed, Joel is always quick to get back with me and is accommodating and flexible.  I'm very satisfied with Joel's work with me.  He was instrumental in restoring my marriage and made me feel like I mattered and addressed any and all concerns I had without feeling rushed.  Joel's mannerisms allowed me to open up more to him where I felt at ease and comfortable knowing he had my best interest at heart and is genuinely there to help me.  I definitely would refer Joel to any and all family and friends who were looking for any type of counseling because I feel Joel is well-equipped to help in any of life's challenges and problems. Being in counseling puts you in a vulnerable position, but Joel has always made me feel safe in sharing myself with him.  Joel also has a calming effect on people where you want to open up and the trust was built right from the start.  I would not hesitate to contact Joel again down the road if I felt I needed his guidance again.  Joel is a great man and an asset to his profession.  I've had many other counselors, but none have come close to Joel's help and how it's actually made a difference and a real impact on my life!"
