Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr., LMFT, LCMFT

Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. brings extensive experience to work with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, including both civilian and military communities. Over a 36-year career that includes service as a military service member and federal employee, he has developed a practice that honors multicultural perspectives and the realities of varied life contexts. He approaches therapy with respect, curiosity, and an emphasis on helping people uncover strengths and potential so they can move toward more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Dr. Tullis practices an integrated, people-oriented model that treats family relationships and social context as key resources in resolving problems. Goals are defined collaboratively with each client, and treatment choices flow from an assessment of what will best support those goals. He uses family-systems ideas alongside practical techniques such as communication skills instruction, role-playing, interactive assignments between sessions, and structured homework to reinforce change.

Areas of focus include stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, depression, LGBT matters, parenting and fatherhood issues, anger and impulsivity, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Additional attention is given to abandonment and attachment issues, blended family dynamics, commitment and communication problems, infidelity and forgiveness, body image, control issues, divorce and separation, family of origin patterns, and questions of life purpose. He holds credentials as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and an LCMFT - Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist - and applies evidence-informed methods to support client goals.
