Quinsea Ormandy, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Quinsea!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I enjoy powerlifting, crafting, and spending time with my two mini dachshunds. In therapy, I focus on creating a supportive space where we can explore what’s been weighing on you and work together toward growth, healing, and balance.

My focus

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and are ready to build healthier coping skills and boundaries. I’m most comfortable treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related conditions.

My approach

My approach is collaborative and supportive. I use CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed techniques to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect. Together, we’ll build insight, develop coping tools, and create lasting change that aligns with your values.

My communication style

My sessions are warm, supportive, and down-to-earth. I create a space where you can show up authentically without judgment. Clients often describe working with me as feeling safe, collaborative, and empowering, with a balance of compassion, honesty, and humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I love noticing patterns in people’s lives and helping them have those ‘aha’ moments. I’m driven by supporting you as you gain insight, build confidence, and create meaningful change that feels right for your life.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively, helping you identify what matters most and break it into achievable steps. Together, we track progress, celebrate wins, and adjust goals as needed so growth feels manageable, meaningful, and realistic for your life.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll get to know each other, explore what’s been challenging for you, and start identifying your goals. You can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where your experiences are heard and we begin creating a plan to support your growth.
