Alan Quinn is a second-year doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology PhD program at Fordham University. He earned his B.A. in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he completed multiple research fellowships in clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, statistics, and political science. His clinical work is informed by his research on moral injury in civilian populations, especially how people process experiences that conflict with their moral appraisals and sense of self. He is particularly interested in mindfulness, resilience, meaning-making, and developing interventions to reduce the long-term effects of morally distressing experiences.
Alan’s clinical experience includes crisis intervention work with adolescents experiencing mood and personality-related difficulties, as well as case management support for neurodivergent adults. His therapeutic orientation is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also integrating existential-humanistic and multicultural approaches. He aims to help clients experience a safe and open space where they can better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills to foster growth and healthy functioning. Across both clinical and research settings, Alan is passionate about helping clients build insight, resilience, and meaningful change while feeling accepted and heard. |
