Russell Quinn

Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee

About Me

Headshot of therapist Russell Quinn

I am a marriage and family therapist trainee in the graduate program at California State University, Northridge.

I am currently completing my practicum hours at Child & Teen Counseling in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.

My areas of interest include supporting people through grief and loss, working with individuals who stutter, those experiencing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or tic disorders, and those pressured to mask their neurodiversity.

Therapeutic Approach

I work with children, teens, and families who are going through hard moments—whether that’s anxiety, grief, life transitions, or simply big feelings that are hard to talk about.

Originally from England, I have lived in California since 2010. Los Angeles is home now and I feel deeply connected to the communities here.

Having lived across different cultures and systems, I bring deep empathy for families navigating unfamiliar territory or those who feel like they don’t quite fit the mold.

My style is warm, calm, and curious. I work especially well with kids who express themselves in unique ways or who might feel unsure about opening up at first. I know what it’s like to communicate a little differently and I bring patience and care to the process.

I’m especially drawn to helping young people and families cope with loss or major life changes. Grief can show up in many forms and my goal is to be a steady, compassionate presence throughout.

Most of all, I believe every child has inner wisdom and my job is to help them feel safe enough to access it. I involve parents, caregivers, and family members when it’s helpful, because healing often happens within our relationships.

I know how much trust it takes to let someone support your family. I take that seriously and I look forward to meeting you.
