More people will be considering divorce this month than any other time of the year. Some have held it together through the holidays for the kids, others have made a resolution to choose their happiness over pain this new year. Others may have been part of the “silent divorce” population, and they may not even know it. This week, Dr. Josh Mirmelli sits down with Michelle Dempsey-Multack to discuss what silence divorce is and what you can do if you are experiencing it.
Dr Josh. Mirmelli is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and has
been working in the field of mental health and addiction for fifteen years. Highly sought
after for his “tell it like it is” no-nonsense approach, Dr. Josh knows how to balance
evidence-based interventions with practical tools to foster liberation from unfulfilling
patterns of coping and living. He frequently treats people with symptom constellations
that are complex, as well as those with prior treatment failures. At the heart of his clinical
practice lies a compelling commitment to advocate on behalf of those who are seeking a
life worth living. He is intent on exhuming a “whole self” for those who seek respite from
the human cutouts they feel they have become, and who are driven to lead more
purposeful lives.
Dr. Josh casts a wide lens in his clinical practice, which focuses on Depressive and
Anxiety Disorders, Trauma (single-incident and complex), Grief, as well as Couples and
Family Therapy. He has received specialized training in Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT),
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Insight-Oriented Psychotherapy. Dr. Josh has a
gripping affinity for working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community as well as
individuals with diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. This, in essence, is what
underlies his commitment to integrating cutting-edge research and professional
collaboration to foster therapeutic engagement by populations who have formerly been
marginalized by the mental health profession.
Dr. Josh has led over one-hundred psycho-educational workshops tailored around the
needs of individuals in early recovery and their family members. He has been invited to
offer expert commentary on various mental health and mainstream podcasts and internet
radio shows. He continues to forge an online and media presence, where he aspires to
captivate widespread consciousness around modern mental health issues. Dr. Josh is
based in Los Angeles, where he shares a home with his husband and son. His practice is
on the west side of the city.
