Paul Standal, Ph.D

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience specializing in relationship recovery. I help individuals and couples navigate relational conflicts, misunderstandings, unresolved emotions, communication challenges, and behaviors that hinder personal and relational well-being. I employ principles of positive regard as a dynamic template for mutual care and respect, focusing on person-centered and solution-focused approaches to rebuild trust, understanding, and communication that form the foundation of relational happiness.
I helps couples and individuals rebuild love, trust, and mutual understanding by providing guidance in resolving issues like conflicted communication, impending divorce, family conflicts, infidelity, substance abuse, sexual and intimacy problems, and other compulsive behaviors that cause separation and distrust.
I also offer personalized treatment for clients experiencing depression, anxiety, addictions, and trauma.

Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and a good listener, which helps them feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Many report gaining a better understanding of and resolving negative feelings that previously caused depression, anger, anxiety, or fear. I am committed to creating a safe space where clients can express their emotions, explore issues, solve problems, and pursue personal goals. With extensive experience, understanding, empathy, and compassion, I offer both online sessions and some in-person appointments.
