Kira Quinn-Cushner, PhD

PSYCHOLOGIST, HUMOROUS HUMANIST, SHE/HER

We live in an increasingly complex world, and at times, life can feel overwhelming. Struggling or suffering doesn’t mean we are broken — it means we’re human and in need of support. My passion lies in providing a safe, compassionate space where healing and meaningful change can unfold.

I am a licensed psychologist with 18 years of experience working with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed, with a focus on creating an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered.

With training in a variety of therapeutic orientations and treatment modalities, I take an eclectic approach to therapy — collaboratively tailoring treatment to meet your unique needs and goals.

I look forward to connecting with you and walking alongside you on your path toward healing and growth.
