Quinetta Owens Grant is a selfless therapist working with youth and
families for Georgia Health Partners. She assesses the mental health
conditions and possible maladies of all of her patients and makes
recommendations to other professionals in the organization to help them
as much as possible. Grant has worked hard to develop the skills to help
as many people as possible as a therapist working in the marriage and
family counseling discipline. To help patients, all mental health therapists need these three skills: 
- Diagnosing mental health problems. Quinetta Owens Grant, after earning her Master’s degree in Family and Marriage Counseling, recognizes many mental health issues in her patients every day. Her knowledge of common problems that families deal with, especially the children, helps her recommend treatment plans based on research on treatments for various mental health issues facing families.
- Coordinating with other mental health professionals. Often times, Quinetta Owens Grant works with other mental health professionals such as psychiatrists and others to determine the best course of action for each individual case. This involves teamwork and an understanding of how other areas of medicine can inform and help people dealing with mental health issues.
- Counseling psychology. Therapists often take classes on counseling psychology during their Master’s programs. This area of study is often required for counselors to earn their state licensure in the United States. Counseling psychology has to do with how patients and counselors respond to each other and help each other during therapy sessions.
