Quinn Smalley

I am human and I know what it’s like to feel lost and in need of support. I also know what it is like to want to speak with someone who respects my autonomy and individual differences. Therefore, I am dedicated to providing a thoughtful, tailored approach that balances theory with warmth, humor, and respect for preferences and cultural/individual differences. My mission is for clients to develop healthier relationships with their emotions and thoughts. I want my clients to know therapy can be challenging but also fun, artsy, humorous, and empowering.

My approach is a blend. It may combine a range of approaches for one person or may focus heavily on one approach for a specific person. I use CBT, ACT, narrative therapy, mindfulness, art therapy, and exposure and response prevention. I am client centered in overall nature.

Clients can expect to be challenged gently in order to make room for more flexible, positive changes, mentally. You may come confused about what to talk about or confused about what exactly is going on and leave with an idea of something to focus on on your healing journey. You also might grow to appreciate your innate creativity! Clients often say they remembered one line I said in therapy and they reflect on it throughout the week.
