"After working with Joe, my attitude and approach changed. I now expect and demand that my client's male loved ones participate in and support treatment. I don't settle for 'I'm too busy' excuses anymore. And I'm seeing results for my clients, as they get more (and more effective) support from husbands, fathers, etc. It's made a big difference."
