Douglas Livingston Quinn

My communication style

I communicate with patience, honesty, and clarity. My style is collaborative and direct, while always remaining clear and non-judgmental. I work to create a supportive and respectful environment where clients are treated as individuals. Past clients have described me as steady, compassionate, and thoughtful, while also gently challenging.

My journey to mental healthcare

My first career was as a Brother and a Priest in the Catholic Church, but I left the priesthood to get married in 2000. I have been married twice (widowed once), raised two kids, and have worked in a wide range of mental health settings for the past 26 years. I always work to help people live their most authentic lives.

My goals for you

Beginning from our very first session, I always provide feedback on what I think the best use of our time together would be, based on what has been shared with me by the client. Clients are encouraged to share their thoughts, and together we develop an overarching plan that allows for flexibility session-to-session.

Our first session

A first session will usually consist of a brief overview of the process and an explanation of the legal guidelines that govern our time together. After that, I like to take the time to introduce myself and share my background, and then I ask the client to do the same, so we get to know each other a bit.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
