Welcome! I am Dr. Quiana Golphin, owner of Provenance Counseling and Wellness, LLC and I am delighted that you are here. Congratulations on taking time out to attend to your emotional and mental wellbeing by visiting our site to explore your options. This is major step in reaching your goals. Let me take a moment to tell you about who I am, what I do, and how I may help you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps individuals across the lifespan experience improvements to their mental wellbeing and functioning. More specifically, I help young adult women adapt to various life phases, roles, and experiences as they discover and enjoy the freedom to live as their true selves. I also help support the unique needs of Adult Preacher’s Kids (PKs) who want to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their life experiences so they can live more authentically and in ways that are in alignment with their values. I believe it is necessary to help clients develop insight into the origin of their problems so they can gain the clarity to understand themselves, acquire tools, and create hope for their present and future selves. I consider counseling to be an avenue to assist clients in restoring peace and order to their lives. It is a place of unburdening where they may experience acceptance and healing. Because people are unique and come from diverse backgrounds, I prioritize offering service specific to their needs. No client is the same and neither is their treatment. That is why I use an integrative approach that allows greater flexibility in the application of evidence-based treatment options for clients. That is just a fancy way of saying that my primary approach to counseling is Person-Centered, but I incorporate techniques from effective styles you may have heard of that are informed by Cognitive, Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Trauma, and Solution-Focused approaches help move clients toward the results they are seeking. I have spent considerable time helping clients manage issues due to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, academics, career exploration, grief and loss, relationships, and matters related to religion and spirituality. Some of the issues occur one at time, or they can overlap. Whatever the presentation, we can work together to determine which one is most important for you to address. In addition to my clinical work with clients, I develop and deliver workshops and trainings centered on diversity education and cultural humility, mental health awareness for companies and community agencies, college preparation and adjustment, and the integration of mental health counseling into religious and spiritual spaces. My mission is to shorten the distance that exists between help-seeking practices and counseling by striving to provide education and raise awareness on the holistic benefits of mental health counseling. The more our communities are aware of the importance of mental health the stronger they will become! When the community members are well then communities are well. We are the community, and it is essential to be our best selves as much as possible. Sometimes we just need a little counseling help to get there. I’d be delighted to be the one to assist you.
