Clinical Retirement
I’ve had the awesome opportunity to serve the Chesterfield community for 45 years. At Family Guidance Centers we have built multiple centers and have joined with a stellar group of therapists over these years . Our commitment to exemplary service remains as our focus. Looking back on these achievements provokes many good memories and satisfactions. The page now turns as I announce my retirement from clinical practice in August 2025. Many thanks to all of my work associates and to all of my clients who entrusted me in their health journey. – Chuck McGee, Ph.D

A Life Changing Career Experience
Before I entered graduate school, I worked in a residential facility for severely disturbed children. Not only was I responsible for treatment planning and daily interventions, I also lived in-residence with these children. Learning the “psychology trade” on the front lines was a career-altering experience. The practical, hands-on delivery of care was a reality that textbooks and classroom instruction could not provide. Witnessing the day- to-day struggles of these children and families made me realize how important my role as a psychologist was. I also discovered that my preparation needed to incorporate resourceful skill sets to be able to meet the challenges of re-building these children’s health. As a result of this experience, I gained the optimism, the determination, and the appreciation to dig deeper to find meaningful solutions.
