Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, with 14 years of experience supporting adults through meaningful personal growth and healing. I provide a compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming space where clients can explore their inner world, develop resilience, and build deeper connections — with themselves and others.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and enjoy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Attachment-Based Therapy. These evidence-based approaches allow me to support clients in processing trauma, understanding emotional patterns, and fostering lasting change from the inside out.

Dr. Charles Quinn

Dr. Charles Quinn

Therapist

Virtual • Waynesville, MO


Hi, my name is Dr. Charles Quinn. I am a retired military soldier, served 25 years, and have been in the field of counseling for over fifteen years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, past traumatic experiences, conflict resolution, self-injury, bullying, and other issues. The modalities that I incorporate into my sessions are Cognitive-Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Solution-Focused, and Trust-Based Relational Intervention, among others. It is important to meet the client where they are and tailor a specific program that addresses their unique concerns and needs. I practice from a perspective of compassion, acceptance, and trust building. It is my mission to ensure my clients feel safe, not judged, and accepted as we begin to work together. I am committed to creating an environment that fosters truth without judgment, safety without fear, and hope in an otherwise hopeless situation.

Let's begin this journey together.
