More about Alexandra Quinn, LPC

My name is Alex Quinn, and I am a white, queer therapist living in Houston, TX. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX. Before obtaining my Masters at UST, I received my Bachelors of Arts from Austin College, then went to law school in Lubbock, Texas. After a short stint in criminal defense, I realized my talents and interests laid in relationship building, cultivating vulnerability, and problem-solving, which led me to drop out of law school and enter the counseling field. Upon moving to Houston, I spent two and a half years providing care at The Menninger Clinic, specifically in the Pathfinder Unit. There, I worked closely with young adults facing a range of mental health challenges, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, trauma, addiction, and personality disorders. From this experience I developed a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding mental health, as well as the importance of tailored, client-focused treatment. I specialize in navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, relational conflict, sexual identity, and gender identity. I believe that therapy is inherently political and should include discussions about a client's racial, environmental, and cultural strengths and stressors. My approach is trauma-informed, consent-based, and incorporates a social-justice framework. Additionally, I am EMDR-trained and I offer free consultations and letters for gender-affirming care for people in the state of Texas. My counseling style is a blend of somatic, mindfulness, systems, and parts work. Basically, this means we talk about how it feels to live in your body as much as how it feels to live your life. Moving into body-based work can feel uncomfortable and scary, but is often the next step for folks who aren't getting what they need from talk therapy.
