Anthony Quarles, M.Ed.,LMFT Associate, CCLC

Anthony "Tony" Quarles is a therapist and a life coach who specializes in family relationships and personal effectiveness. With over 30 years experience helping people reach their goals, Tony has discovered that people cannot truly be fulfilled until they find out what God's purpose is for them. As an educator and coach, Tony enjoyed helping young people discover their potential and purpose. He was never happier than when coaching sports as the team worked together towards one common goal. As with the football team, it is the same with the body of Christ that the purpose of one to reach individual objectives serves to fulfill a higher purpose.

Throughout the various roles in his life in which he has worked, served, and ministered, two fundamental principals for success resonate clearly - - accountability and teamwork. It's these principals that guide his life and work. Tony holds a BA in History from Colorado College (1984), an M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instructional Design from UNLV (2010) and an M.Ed. in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling from Lamar University (2022). He is licensed in the state of Texas as a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFT Associate) supervised by Elizabeth Dawn Thompson, LMFT-S; as well, he is certified as both a Christian Life Coach from Light University and as a SYMBIS facilitator. He is a trained Family Mediator for the state of Texas. He has worked as an educator at various levels for over 20 years. He is also accomplished as a speaker, presenting court mandated seminars helping parents cope with divorce for Palo Verde Child & Family Services. 

For many years he has served in ministry at his home church. He and his wife have served on the marriage ministry team at their church where they co-facilitate small group marriage classes and mentor married couples.
