Quinn Smalley, LMHC, ATR
Licensed Mental Health Counselor

We all have a story to tell and it is the story we tell ourselves mentally that drives our everyday thoughts, feelings, and actions. With special care for gender, sexuality, and culture, I utilize different theoretical approaches and art therapy to help elicit change and healing. Art therapy involves utilizing the creative process to invite awareness.
I believe in the magic of connection and creativity. When they’re missing, depression and disconnection sneak in and cloud our mind. I believe creativity and self-awareness can change our internal dialogue. If you are nervous, but looking to try out therapy or return after some time, I definitely encourage you and I am here to help.
I work with TaraMind to provide psychedelic assisted therapy. I specialize in preparation sessions for your ketamine journey and integration sessions for after your journey to take advantage of the window of time where your brain is most malleable and able to implement lasting changes.
Are you a 20-something struggling with adjusting to a life transition, finding your true identity, and having solid relationships in your life? Are you looking for a creative approach to your therapy sessions? If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, adjustment, a break-up, loneliness, disconnection from self or others, or life transitions, I am your guide. I am an Art Therapist who also specializes in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. What excites me about psychotherapy, psychedelics, and the arts is the joy I get from connecting with people. I love that art has a beautiful and profound way of helping someone gain a new perspective, a sense of confidence, and a general feeling of having added something to this world. I also think the arts allow someone to explore their soul/spirituality.
