The initial consultation is essentially a getting-to-know-you session rooted in the biopsychosocial model. As humans, we are far more than one-dimensional beings. As your story unfolds, it helps form a three-dimensional picture of who you are, allowing us to begin navigating the next steps together.

Dr. Stanley takes a human-centered, collaborative approach to care, focusing on your unique story and your goals. His work combines evidence-based treatments, tailored to your needs. You can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where we work together toward both symptom relief and foster a deep, meaningful life.
