He attained a Master of Divinity Degree in 1995 and his Master of Arts Degree in Community Counseling in 2011. Having provided spiritual care to a religiously and culturally diverse audience, Kevin specializes in spirituality, spiritual growth and development, and spiritual counseling. The now 50-year-old has composed two exercises: (1) Spiritual Reconstruction, which involves helping an individual maintain, modify, or change belief systems; and (2) the Conversing with Death Imagery Exercise (CDI), which is a simulated dying exercise to help participants befriend their existential anxiety.

Kevin is the author of three books titled Spiritual Care to Elderly and Dying Loved Ones, Conversing with Death: To Build a Better Now and Future, and Last Breath Awareness: A New & Bold Approach on Death for the West. He has penned about a dozen articles including: “Embracing the Elderly Patients’ Wish to Die”, “Power Patterns Within Professional Relationships”, and his latest “Love, Intimacy, and Death”.

Today Kevin is a psychotherapist in private practice working with adult individuals, couples, and families. Quiles is certified in clinical hypnotherapy with the American Psychotherapy and Medical Hypnosis Association (APMHA), and is a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner. Kevin developed the Conversing with Death as a Practice, a resource that provides education for professional caregivers, ordained and lay ministers, chaplains, and counselors on “Death Counseling” and “the Conversing with Death Imagery Exercise” (CDI).
