Getting to know Kezzia Quintyne-hilaire

Good day, I'm Kezzia Quintyne-Hilaire, a licensed mental health counselor with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Marywood University, dedicated to helping women of color keep their crowns on straight. I work with adults of all ages, specializing in trauma, women's issues, and anxiety. I am passionate about providing culturally appropriate therapy for women of color. Creating an environment where clients feel understood and respected is crucial to my practice. I utilize a combination of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness. This integrative approach allows me to tailor my interventions to each client's unique needs and goals. My goal is to help clients understand themselves better and feel confident facing life's challenges. Therapy is a journey, and I am honored to be part of my clients' paths toward healing and growth.

What should a new client know about working with you?

**Message to Clients** Collaborating with me involves actively engaging in the healing process. Think of therapy as a workout for your mind; I empower my clients to set at least one goal for each session. My aim is for clients to leave with a deeper understanding than when they started, and I often assign homework for those who find it beneficial. For those seeking trauma healing, we only begin treatment when you feel comfortable and have mastered grounding techniques for triggering moments. We proceed at your pace, recognizing the potency of therapy, particularly for women of color—an aspect I take pride in. Let's embark on a journey together to discover new perspectives, nurture resilience, and foster happiness. Your well-being is our top priority, and we are committed to supporting you every step of the way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Your first session may be with an intake coordinator or directly with Kezzia. This initial appointment helps us fully understand your concerns so we can best support you. Our intake coordinator and therapists work closely as a team to ensure you receive thoughtful and effective care. Prior to your appointment, you’ll receive intake paperwork, which must be completed at least 24 hours in advance. During the session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and what goals you’d like to work toward. If you’re new to therapy, there’s no need to feel nervous—think of it as a conversation with a compassionate professional who is here to listen, support, and guide you.

Kezzia was a great listener overall. I'm pretty nervous about starting therapy in general and glad to say it was a comfortable experience!

I'd seen several different therapist before I was lucky enough to find Kezzia in 2020, and she's been my therapist since. Shes been the absolute most amazing mental health professional that I've ever come across, and I owe so much to her. Shes guided me through my GAD, then my PPD and PPA. She specializes in working with women of color, and provides so many incredible resources. She's just the best. So much so that I'd love to keep her all to myself, but I know I have to share. If you're a woman of color and you're looking for a therapist to guide you through your mental health journey with kindness, understanding and a plethora of knowledge, she's the one.
She is extremely encouraging but also challenges me to be a better version f myself. We identify the work that needs to be done and she holds me accountable without judgment. Highly recommend
Kezzia is great and easy to talk to! I’ve been seeing her since 2020 and I’m thankful to have her support over the years. As a newbie to therapy, I found her to be patient and thoughtful about whether I was comfortable and allowed me to open up at my own pace. I would recommend Kezzia to anyone looking to start their therapy journey!
Online Therapy with Kezzia from KQH Mental Health is a transformative experience. Kezzia offers empathetic and insightful support, making sessions feel personal and effective. Her professionalism and expertise create a safe space for me. Overall, It was impactful and enjoyable. Kezzia is a great therapist for all who seeking quality therapy.
I've been seeing Kezzia for over a year and this is the longest I've stayed with one therapist. I always leave our sessions with something to work on for the week, which I appreciate as it gives me actions to take to improve my mental health.There is also a great level of comfort I have to bring any topic or concern to the table with her. Highly recommend!
I've been seeing Kezzia for the last couple of years, and I can't speak highly enough of her services! She is thorough, thoughtful, and professional. Truly a leader in the mental health space!
Ms. Quintyne-Hilaire is professional, empathetic and kind. She’s a great listener and creates a safe, engaging and friendly environment. I would whole heartedly recommend her.
Kezzia is an amazing therapist. She has the ability to listen and connect with individuals. Kezzia understands what is being expressed to her and provides insightful feedback and tools that will help guide to a better path.
Kezzia leads a top-notch practice both in behavioral results and client experience. In my four years with her, I learned CBT, EFT, and DBT skills for my depression and anxiety disorders, HALT for my eating disorder, and how set to boundaries toward managing my insecure attachment style in relationships. Thankfully, Kezzia also recognized ADHD symptoms after working with me for some time. I followed up with testing, and was diagnosed with severe ADHD. She is an extraordinary therapist. I've been in therapy since 19 and I'm 44. I can easily say Kezzia is the best listener of any therapist I've had as well as the most resourceful, respectful, and genuine. I'm amazed at how much I've grown. I am very intelligent, and I put in the work, but the thing about an exceptional therapist for someone like me is she shows you how to see yourself instead of telling you who you are: I know who I am; because of Kezzia, I am proud of who I am.
I’ve been going to Kezzia for almost two years and it has been great having someone outside of family and friends to share my thoughts and feelings with to gain clarity on what and how to change what I am experiencing. Kezzia creates a welcoming space to learn more about myself and grow into a new version of myself. Through Kezzia I have also connected with a psychiatric nurse practitioner who provides medication management for my diagnoses. Together they provide a mental health support team That has helped me get to a new version of myself that feels more centered. Lastly, Kezzia has workshops and regular events to create a community with her clients; I’ve been to at least two in which we use journal prompts and other written exercises for healing and manifestation. I highly recommend Kezzia if you’re looking to gain clarity and understanding about the challenges you are experiencing.
