Elliott Stanley, DO

Staff Psychiatrist

Dr. Stanley began in rural Mississippi, where he witnessed the events of 9/11 unfold during middle school. He graduated high school in 2005, only to soon experience Hurricane Katrina at the start of his freshman year of college. While attending medical school at Kansas City University, Dr. Stanley joined the United States Air Force and later completed his psychiatric residency in a combined civilian–military program affiliated with Wright-Patterson AFB. His training placed a strong emphasis on psychotherapy, spanning approaches such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and attachment theory.

After being forward deployed to Okinawa, Japan, he became a board-certified psychiatrist through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). Just before the global spread of COVID-19, he was promoted to lead the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) program. While stationed at Tokyo AFB, he became the medical director of the base’s entire mental health clinic.

Upon returning stateside and completing his military service, he went on to serve a community deeply affected by addiction, severe mental illness, and homelessness

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.
