It takes courage to reach out for help! Showing up that first time may be the hardest part of the journey. Being someone who has sat in that chair, I have a good idea how you are feeling. Being someone who has done her own personal work of therapy and helped hundreds of others with theirs, I also know how much better life can be! Emotional wounds can be heavy. Medication may help, but the feelings can make living feel like swimming with a shot put ball.

I strive to come alongside those struggling to provide support, education and encouragement. I have worked with clients from age 5 to 103, and what I have found to be most important is the connection (or the “fit.”) You need a therapist you can bring your authentic self to. You are hiring me to do a job, to help you think, feel, and behave better. I want that for you, even if it is not me, so never be afraid to interview a few therapists before deciding! After all, if it is me, I will be in your corner and I will challenge you, at the same time. You want to know you chose wisely for yourself.

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.

My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


Hi, I’m Natasha, a practicing therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.

Over the years, I’ve supported clients through struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and family dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make real, lasting changes.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Clients often share that they value my ability to listen deeply, provide fresh perspectives, and offer tools they can use in daily life.

If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with nearly two decades of professional experience, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth, clarity, and healing.

I work with high-functioning adults—often executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals—who have survived domestic violence, emotional abuse, or chronic trauma, and are ready to move beyond survival mode into real stability and direction. If you’re successful on the outside but exhausted, hypervigilant, or disconnected on the inside, this is where the real work begins.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Missouri

Searching for therapists in Missouri is easier when you start with the type of support you want. Missouri has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so available specialties may vary by location. You might look for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Missouri therapists, review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience. Some therapists focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, while others may specialize in couples counseling, family counseling, or support for specific life stages.

Practical fit matters, too. If you live in Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Warrensburg, or a smaller Missouri community, consider whether in-person sessions or virtual appointments fit your schedule and location. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, therapy style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading a therapist’s bio before booking can help you understand how they structure sessions, how they describe their communication style, and whether their professional counseling experience matches what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in Missouri can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors who accept insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from available in-person or virtual sessions. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. From there, you can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
