Twila Quaid , LMHC

Twila Quaid is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people reconnect with purpose and rediscover joy when life feels stalled. With a decade of clinical experience, she approaches therapy holistically, attending to personal, physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions to support meaningful change.

She combines structured tools like goal setting and homework with exploratory work that identifies unprocessed experiences affecting wellbeing. Her practice emphasizes practical steps alongside deeper exploration, inviting clients to try new holistic strategies and examine patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, grief, or difficulties with relationships, self-esteem, and everyday functioning.

Using techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy, she supports clients in reframing unhelpful thoughts, mapping life stories, and testing new behaviors that align with their values. She also brings experience addressing ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life transitions, including compassion fatigue and seasonal mood shifts.

Twila frames therapy as a collaborative process that balances insight with action. She works with each person to uncover what is unprocessed, set achievable goals, and build skills that restore balance and a clearer sense of life purpose.
