I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in working with individuals and families navigating high-stress situations, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Over the years, I’ve supported clients through difficult moments such as conflict within relationships, overwhelming stress, and major life changes, helping them find clarity and move forward with confidence.

In my current role, I work closely with professionals and families to problem-solve complex situations, which has strengthened my ability to listen, identify patterns, and offer practical, real-life strategies. I’ve also had extensive experience in crisis intervention, supporting individuals during some of their most overwhelming moments.

I primarily work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, anger, and life transitions. I also enjoy supporting parents who are feeling overwhelmed and looking for guidance in navigating family dynamics, and communication.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and able to work through what’s going on in a way that feels both meaningful and actionable.

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

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.
