Quincy Guinadi, PsyD, LP

Hello, 你好! I’m Dr. Quincy Guinadi (or Dr. Q, Quincy, Q), a licensed psychologist. I enjoy working with folks who are ready to embark on their identity exploration journey, be it from immigration, life transitions, or lemons thrown at you by life.
Being an immigrant is not a new experience for me – my family was originally from Indonesia and moved to Singapore when I was little. In 2012, I moved to Minnesota to pursue my undergraduate degree, and MN has kept me here since then! I am ethnically Indonesian-Chinese, though my immigration experiences have made me a third-culture kid. I was also an athlete throughout my childhood and young adulthood. Nowadays, if my knees allow me, you can find me in a hot yogaburn class or running around, playing Ultimate Frisbee!
*At the moment, I only offer in-person (at the Bloomington location) ADHD psychological testing to folks 16 years and older. If you are interested, you can schedule an intake session by clicking on the “schedule now” button below. You can reach out to our scheduling coordinator at hello@affinitypsych.com for information about the process or if you have any billing questions. New intake slots will be released in the middle of each month. Continue to check back periodically if you do not see a timing that fits your schedule.
How I Work
A mentor, Dr. Phyllis Solon, once said: “We are in the business of believing people.” I strive to be an attuned listener for times when you may feel alone, unheard, misunderstood, or unseen by people around you. I believe that you deserve to feel dignified, respected, and loved in this world – you matter!
I am deeply committed to anti-racism, decolonization, social justice and advocacy, and “standing in your own dignity” in my clinical work and personal life. That being said, my social justice journey is a lifelong reflective path, and I will never achieve full competency as a curious learner in this world. As I encourage you to show up as you are in our sessions, I promise to show up as a fellow flawed human being alongside you.
As a testing psychologist, I strive to make your testing experience non-pathologizing, collaborative, and understandable. I acknowledge that testing might be an intimidating experience that may feel like an “exam” and the outcome may be unexpected. I aim to provide clarity and education about the purposes of testing along the way and to assist in helping you understand or put a name to your strengths and struggles.
What Sets Me Apart As a Therapist?
I am someone who often questions the “norm”. There are a lot of “shoulds” “must be” “correct” ways of being and existing in this world that are not inclusive of all identities and life experiences. I strive to explore and assist you with gaining a deeper understanding of your life experiences, regardless of the final diagnosis!
I also believe that my social justice work is not only limited to my therapy room. I am actively involved and hold leadership positions in local and national organizations (i.e. Minnesota Psychological Association and American Psychological Association). Being actively involved in advocacy and liberation within the various systems we live in is an essential importance to me. Liberation deserves to be everywhere!
