The Yale University COPE Project researched people who reported hearing voices in various forms. They studied differences of people who find this a problem and cannot control these voices, as well as those who do not and are able to control the voices, such as psychic mediums.

She has a Masters Degree of Science in Clinical Counseling and Human Services, as well as a License in the State of Connecticut as a Professional Counselor.

"As a person with lived experience and with deep roots in spirituality and spiritual healing, I worked alongside neuroscientists, therapists, psychic/mediums, spiritual healers, parapsychologists, advocates, and other persons with lived experience to learn from one another, from the experiences others have, and how we can use the strengths and skills that those doing well use to help those who might be struggling with distressing experiences." - Brittany Quagan, M.S., LPC
