Quin Axelson

For as long as I can remember, becoming a therapist has felt like a natural extension of who I am – an inner pull toward meaningful connection and psychological insight that has only grown stronger over time. Underpinning all of this is an innate curiosity about the world and the people who occupy it – their histories, defenses, inner worlds, and capacity for growth.

This curiosity, along with a deep respect for the complexity of the human experience, has shaped the path I’ve taken both academically and professionally. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder, and a Master of Arts in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University. I have experience working in head and neck cancer research at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and in a private group practice in New York City, where I supported adolescents and adults navigating anxiety and depressive disorders, OCD and related disorders, complex trauma, identity development, relationship dynamics, mood and personality disorders, grief, life transitions, and more.

Background

Quin Specializes in working with OCD, complex trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds and relationship difficulties.

I specialize in therapy for late teens and adults with OCD, complex trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, and relationship difficulties.

Using an integrative approach, I draw from evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), person-centered, and attachment-relational therapy. I have additional training in ERP for OCD and phobias. That said, don’t worry if these terms are unfamiliar – what matters most is that we find what works best for you.

My role is to offer insight, tangible tools, and a steady presence as we explore what’s been getting in the way of how you want to feel, connect, and live. My hope is that you leave each session feeling more secure, more understood, and more aligned with who you are – and don’t worry – I promise we’ll have some fun along the way.
