I agree with all of the negative reviews I am finding online about Dr. Joe Raphael. I had two sessions with him and in the second session, he got extremely weird and creepy. He says that he’s married with kids, but he got very weird with me. In addition, he likes to talk about himself a lot and frequently goes on tangents that have no relevance whatsoever. Avoid Joe Raphael and Irvine Christian Counseling! There are better options out there.

I highly recommend Dr. Joe Raphael at Irvine Christian Counseling. He is both highly experienced and professional. Dr. Joe provided us with practical counseling and coaching rooted in biblical principles, playing a pivotal role in helping our family grow stronger. Through our work with him, we developed trust and a renewed sense of hope. We’ve since recommended him to many of our friends.

Dr. Joe is personable and though he holds many degrees and has years of experience as a mental health provider, he is relatable.

Dr. Joe is simply an amazing person, and an amazing therapist.

Dr. Joe is very knowledgeable and intelligent and has helped me with so many challenges and struggles throughout life. Highly recommend his capabilities to anyone.
