Touro Testimonial
Earning my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University in 2022 was an immensely valuable experience. The program provided me with the autonomy to explore and develop my therapeutic approach while equipping me with crucial knowledge and skills in the field. From the start, I was met with exceptional support and a strong sense of connection, both from the faculty and my peers. This supportive environment not only facilitated my learning but also fostered lasting professional relationships. Even as an alumna, I continue to benefit from Touro’s network and resources, underscoring the university’s commitment to its graduates’ ongoing success. Touro University has been instrumental in shaping my career, and I am grateful for the profound impact it has had on my professional journey.

Dr. Quinnett Swank graduated from Touro University Worldwide in July 2024 with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. She also holds a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and a Master’s degree in School Psychology and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Nevada.
Dr. Swank is the founder of Swank Counseling, LLC, a private practice serving adults and couples in Las Vegas and throughout Nevada. She provides in-person therapy in Northwest Las Vegas as well as telehealth across the state.

Her therapeutic approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and integrates attachment-informed, trauma-informed, and somatic approaches. She works collaboratively with clients to help them better understand the patterns influencing their lives, develop greater psychological flexibility, and make choices that are more aligned with their values. Her broader interest in the connection between mental and physical health also informs a whole-person perspective on emotional well-being.
In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Swank is an adjunct professor who teaches psychology and mental health-related courses. Her more than 10 years of experience in school psychology and mental health have shaped her understanding of human development, relationships, family systems, culture, and the environments in which people live and grow. She brings this combination of clinical, educational, and psychological experience to both her work with clients and her teaching.
Dr. Swank is passionate about helping people move beyond simply managing symptoms toward understanding themselves more deeply and creating meaningful change in their lives and relationships.
