Quintin Talley, LPC, LCPC
Fairfax, VA | Bethesda, MD
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting couples, individuals, and families. I work with all couples and relationships, with a special focus on helping partners recover from infidelity and navigate high conflict or communication breakdowns. I draw from a variety of approaches, including Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy, to tailor support to each couple’s needs. My goal is to help couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen their connection.
