Alexander “Dr. Q” Quiros, PhD, MBA
Bilingual Licensed Psychologist

*Please note Dr. Quiros is not accepting new clients at this time.

I am a bilingual clinical psychologist who believes we all seek to be happy, healthy, safe, and at peace, but aren’t always clear about how to more fully achieve those qualities in a more sustainable fashion. I believe that we often have a vague idea of what happiness looks like for us, but then we get caught up in emotions (ours and others) that pull us away from a life guided by our values. My role is to help you learn new skills and gain new insights that you can use to reach your fullest potential joyfully and meaningfully.

Outside of work and academia, I have dedicated over 20 years to the study of meditation and mindfulness. I will often use my extensive psychological knowledge to modernize and provide scientific support of techniques and teachings that are over 2000 years old. In therapy, I bring this blend of science and mindfulness in focus to help clients reduce suffering and increase feelings of self-worth, happiness, and peace.

Regarding my personal life, I am a dedicated and loving husband and father. When I’m not with my family or at work, I use my spare time to build wood projects usually from reclaimed wood or just playing games on my phone. Volunteering is also an important part of my life, and I dedicate a fair amount of time teaching mindfulness and mental well-being at local Buddhist temples and hospitals.

Dr. Quiros is also available for public speaking engagements, corporate consulting, wellness workshops, and group presentations/trainings.
