I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology and graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Missouri- St. Louis. I'm a licensed clinical therapist in Missouri and have spent the past 4 years working on an acute behavioral health unit seeing a wide range of patients with diverse backgrounds and symptomatic presentations. I have received certifications in trauma studies and believe in the psyche’s natural ability to heal and adapt.

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.

If you keep finding yourself in the same arguments, the same shutdowns, or the same loop of feeling more reactive than you want to be, you are not broken. There is often a younger version of you driving the bus in those moments. I work with teens, adults, and women navigating relationship strain, family of origin patterns, anxiety, and grief, including the kind that does not involve a death. Clients describe me as warm, steady, and easy to talk to, and they often say I notice what they did not realize they were sharing.

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.
