LMHC, 5 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi, my name is Quinn! I am a creative, friendly, down to earth human who happens to have the title and job of Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have been in the mental health field in various capacities since 2013, and have been an active therapist for 5 years. As a therapist my aim is to provide you with support and guidance as you navigate challenges with anxiety, depression, and life changes. I find that using tried-and-true approaches with splashes of creativity allow for a rewarding therapy experience for my clients. I aim to assist all my clients in reaching their "ah-ha" moments, and while it's usually a process, with dedicated time and attention, we will achieve clarity, healing, and growth.
Our first session is similar to the first day of class. We get organized! I prefer to get paperwork completed as quickly as possible and ask that you fill out forms before our first session. We will review the forms briefly and then talk about why you want therapy. We will come up with goals for your therapy journey and will make some solid action steps to help us accomplish those goals.
You will find my that my therapeutic approach is intentional, creative, and down to earth. I have training in several professional approaches and find that if one isn't working, we will work to find one that does. As a human race we tend to better integrate what we learn if our learning process is playful. This deeply impacts everything I do in life, including how I practice therapy. We will use anything that will help you integrate growth and healing. This could be creative thinking, art, poetry, music, sports analogies, exercise, yodeling, video games, plastic building blocks, or whatever speaks to you! This is your healing and growth journey and I will listen when you have an idea on how it can best fit you.
Individuals who benefit the most from my services are adults in various stages of life. I work with people experiencing life changes, anxiety, depression, anger, confusion, parenting issues, and stress. Those who need to process with someone neutral find my services helpful. Individuals who desire or are determined for growth and healing have been able to achieve their goals through the support and guidance I provide.
As a therapist with a masters in art therapy I utilize creativity within sessions. I have found that a combination of the tried and true treatment methods of CBT, DBT, and ACT allow for each client to grow and heal in their own unique way. Combining these treatment methods with creative outlets allows those I work with to engage in therapy in a dynamic way that allows for more depth within the therapeutic process.
