About

With a passion for soul healing and a deep commitment to self-awareness, Josh Ensley, M.A., LMHC, has been guiding clients on transformative therapeutic journeys since 2006. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Josh brings a wealth of experience from diverse therapeutic settings, offering a unique blend of compassion and evidence-based practices to his work with individuals, couples, and families.

At the core of Josh's therapeutic approach lies a powerful combination of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). These modalities form the foundation of his practice, allowing him to address the intricate dynamics of inner emotional landscapes and interpersonal relationships. Through IFS, Josh helps clients explore their internal "family" of sub-personalities, fostering self-understanding and harmony within. Complementing this, his use of EFT is particularly effective in couples therapy, where he guides partners towards forming healthier attachment bonds and resolving relational conflicts.

Josh's expertise extends beyond these primary modalities. His therapeutic toolkit includes elements of Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems, and Developmental theories, which he skillfully integrates to tailor his approach to each client's unique needs. This versatility allows him to effectively address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Recognizing the importance of continuous professional growth, Josh has pursued additional certifications and training. He is TEAM-CBT Level 1 certified and a Certified Trainer in the Nurtured Heart Approach. His training as a Prepare & Enrich Facilitator further enhances his ability to support couples in strengthening their relationships, whether they're preparing for marriage or seeking to enrich their existing bond.

Josh's client-focused philosophy is evident in his compassionate approach to therapy. He views the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey of increasing self-awareness, self-compassion, and healing. His goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where clients can explore their inner worlds, develop new insights, and work towards meaningful change. Whether working with adolescents, adults, couples, or families, Josh is committed to tailoring his approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client, fostering growth and resilience along the way.
