Hi there!  Welcome to Growth Wellness. My name is Quincy and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker who approaches the therapeutic field from an intermodal, intuitive, trauma-informed, narrative and expressive arts-based lens.  I have an MSW and an MA in Education from NYU and enjoy integrating my experience from multiple decades in the field of education into the healing space including centering client wisdom, acquisition of knowledge, creative play and multiple iterations of group work. I am passionate about the values of social work, especially the importance of centering dignity, social justice and worth of person. I approach my work with clients from a place of cultural humility, empathy, intuition and affirmation, while framing my work through a strengths-based, client-centered lens.  

I specialize in creating healing spaces to partner with clients of all ages and phases of the life cycle to build coping mechanisms to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, identity formation, affirmation and evolution, chronic illness, issues within interpersonal relationship issues, familial strife, and the criticality of personal empowerment. Being an intermodal therapist means that I integrate and synthesize multiple evidence-based modalities including but not limited to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology Therapy, Mindfulness and Expressive Arts Therapy.  Humanistic Theory and Narrative Therapy are central components to the roots of my practice lens as I believe that we should be constantly empowered to examine and re-examine our defining moments and generate and refine the tools to make continuous meaning of our life’s journey. 

I am honored to have the potential to meet you and co-create a healing journey of empowerment and possibility.
