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.

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individual adults. I support clients navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy can help you better understand yourself, strengthen self-trust, and the clinical belief that any person can change course in life at any time.

I draw from approaches such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and integrative experiential techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself and the relationships that matter most.
