Brian Carl Quinones, Ed.D., LPC, NCC, ACS, REBT, Autplay certified, RPT-S, and recipient of the TMHC has worked in the field since 2005.

As a member of the Association for Play Therapy, he believes in the core principles of the Therapeutic Powers of Play. His dissertation “Home-based Services: From the Therapists’ Perspective,” explored the themes that became the foundation of his values as a therapist. Since completing his doctorate in 2013, he has focused on studying game theory and design, and how game play affects the therapeutic process through social emotional learning and skill development for the Autism population. He attends professional game design conferences, panels, and seminars yearly for continued career development in counseling, play therapy, and the gaming industry.

He offers Individual and Group therapy. Social Skills development groups are also a option for individuals who need to learn and practice their social skills in a safe environment.
