Couples Counseling Therapists in Audubon Park, Orlando, FL

Hi there! I'm Dr. Josh Stanley, and I want to thank you for stopping by my page. It's no secret; life can be hard! Perhaps you're struggling in your relationship, facing a tough time at work or school, struggling to find your passion, or trying to better understand yourself and what you want out of life. Finding solutions can be challenging, especially when we're in the midst of a stressful situation. Counseling is an opportunity to step back, reflect objectively, and find the best path forward. Our work together is designed to reduce barriers, increase satisfaction, and improve your overall wellness.

You miss the life that you used to have. It felt fun and carefree. Now, it feels like you’re struggling more than you’re enjoying. You’re so tired of feeling alone in your emotions. Your partner isn’t getting it. The stress of being an adult is building up. You’re having difficulty navigating how you handle your finances, family issues, division of labor, and fertility or parenting issues. You check your phone to numb out for a minute and all you see are pictures of other people’s perfect relationships, dream families, fancy vacations and clean houses. You can't help but feel jealous.

At this time I am only doing online video meetings. I agree with the philosophy that crisis is a combination of danger and opportunity. Human beings are very delicate emotionally and can suffer tremendously. My clinical experiences over the years have been very broad from child service agencies to residential treatment to outpatient psychiatry. Currently I work with individuals and families who struggle with with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I welcome longer term, deeper therapy work as well as problem-focused counseling with cognitive-behavioral interventions.

Life can seem like a barrage of stimuli hurling at us. This makes it difficult to listen quietly and to be led intuitively. How do You respond? We all react differently or sometimes even destructively, manifesting in attempts at control, or feeling insecure and compulsive. If one feels anxious, afraid, and uncertain while trying to do life, the struggle to figure things out can seem even less navigable. I seek to create a safe environment that allows people in pain, emotional paralysis, fear, self harm, sadness, etc... to experience hope and gain practical skills in order to navigate their lives with more savvy and confidence.
