Quin Brudney, MS, LCMHC, LIMHP
Welcome to Hearth Counseling & Consulting
I’m Quin Brudney, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Being human can feel complicated and overwhelming at times, and needing support is completely normal. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions openly, a place where you do not need to “have it all together” and where we can work collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change.
Education & Professional Background
Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling – Marquette University
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) – North Carolina
Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) – Nebraska
Professional Experience:
I have over six years of experience working in crisis intervention, suicide prevention hotlines, addiction recovery clinics, group facilitation, community mental health, and private practice settings.
My Approach to Therapy
My work is rooted in compassionate curiosity and a deep belief in every person’s capacity for growth and healing. I view therapy as an opportunity to slow down, explore your thoughts and experiences with intention, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and create meaningful change.
I take a holistic view of wellbeing, recognizing that we are shaped by many interconnected factors, including our environment, relationships, lived experiences, and nervous system responses. Using a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and collaborative approach, I help clients reconnect with their inherent strengths and internal wisdom in order to heal, grow, and live more fully.

A Little About Me
I am a born-and-raised Midwesterner now living in Raleigh. When I’m not working, I love spending as much time outside as possible. You can usually find me walking, paddleboarding, hiking, practicing yoga, rock climbing, reading, or binge-watching a good TV show.
I believe we are all deserving of feeling seen, understood, and supported. Together, with compassion, curiosity, and likely a bit of humor, we can create real and lasting growth.
