Professional statement

Quilette Middlebrooks is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor here in the state of New York. She graduated with an undergraduate degree in Psychology from St. Bonaventure and went on to receive a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Canisius College. Over the years she has gained a vast knowledge and expertise in mental health, having worked with many different mental health and substance abuse diagnoses, client populations, treatment modalities, lifestyles, and backgrounds.

She believes that the beauty of counseling lies in helping others feel comfortable enough to be themselves, safe enough to be vulnerable, and empowered enough to take action steps needed to make the change they want to see in their lives become a reality. Navigating life, career, family, relationships, health, addiction and often times our own thoughts and hearts can be challenging. Please know it isn’t something you have to do alone. More importantly it is possible to navigate and or overcome such challenges. No two people are the same and therefore therapy with Quilette will be tailored to each clients specific needs.


Message to clients

I will be there to challenge, support, and actively listen to you throughout this journey. I aim to support my clients in a person-centered fashion, providing clients with an empathic, ethical, trusting, down to earth and judgment-free counseling experience. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and honestly and that you feel safe and respected.

I know that it can be hard to ask for help or even simply inquire about services. However; if you believe that you or a loved one could benefit from therapy please trust that in reaching out to me I will answer all questions to the best of my ability and point you in the most therapeutic direction.
