About Quinton Smith

I feel every individual is a unique and a complex being. Therefore, the approach I take with your concerns is based on the information you provide and my assessment of your emotional, mental, physical, social, spiritual, economic and career characteristics. I will need your collaboration as we identify issues that will be worked on in sessions or what issues may need other resources. It is important that we be open and honest with each other for appropriate counseling goals to be established. I work from a person-centered perspective, with focus given to congruence, unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and being non-judgmental. However, this is coupled with concepts, interventions and techniques taken from other theoretical orientation. Therefore, I may utilize concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma models. I believe in the power of the healing relationship between therapist and you, where we strive to be self-aware, honest and real. I work in a comfortable atmosphere and am non-judgmental in my approach. I believe a trusting, working relationship between counselor and client is important. I am comfortable working with individuals from diverse cultures and lifestyles; and I feel that being accepting, objective, respectful, and genuine are characteristics essential in working with clients. Overall, counseling is a process in which the individual gains knowledge and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after therapy has ended.

“Quinton is very professional and respectful. He really listens to both my partner and myself and does not take sides. We had helped us not feel nervous about therapy as we are first timers. ”

“He cool”

“I feel very comfortable w him!! He understands when i just want to vent and when i actually need direction”

“I love my sessions with Quinton! He is so welcoming and so calming, that it feels like I’m just having a conversation with my brother or my best friend. I love how he combines clinical, mental health practices with Biblical truths in our sessions, and I often find myself repeating those same practices and truths when I’m ministering to others. I look forward to our sessions, even when I feel like I have nothing to talk about that week. (My family has gotten into the habit of asking about “Quinton the therapist” every week! lol) I recommend Quinton any time that I’m talking to someone and they mention therapy.”

“Quinton has been such a positive influence on my life. Not only is he caring and understanding, but he also relates to my unique circumstances. He has become a good friend who happens to be my therapist. Highly recommended. ”

“Quinton is very attentive and not only that he truly cares about me and my mental health. I love the fact that he prays with me after the sessions and he uplifts me and encourages me to be the best version of me. I am so excited to continue speaking with him and learning from him. ”

“Quinton has been such a blessing to my family. I can see my daughter begin to change in the right direction. ”

“Quinton has a gentle manner and an insightful process. He was able to help me consider the big picture and visualize doable steps I would have motivation and ability to take”

“I just had my second session and I have learned so much from Quinton. He asks the right questions that make me really dig deep. He is a great listener too. ”

“Quinton has been excellent and has helped me to understand myself and my emotions better than I had even hoped. I’d recommend him to anyone. ”

“Quinton has made a profoundly positive impact on the overall quality of my life, and I am eternally grateful for his guidance and friendship.”

“He’s the best!!”

“I appreciate Quintons patience with me as I work through my own analytical mind. He is receptive, perceptive and thorough. He listens with an open and caring heart and mind and is able to interpret my thoughts, feelings and ramblings. Quinton is an educated, thoughtful, genuine therapist that I am grateful to have been connected with.”
