Hi, I’m Jan Quirl, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I enjoy helping people navigate difficult times in their lives. I will work together with you to create the kind of life you want to have. I’m a professional art therapist and have found art to be a great therapy tool, no art experience required! If art therapy isn't an interest of yours, that's okay too! I look forward to helping you grow.
In our first session, I’ll introduce myself, inquire about any previous therapy experiences and ask you to describe what has brought you to therapy. We’ll begin setting goals.
I’m a good listener, warm, compassionate, and supportive. I am determined and straight-forward in working together with my clients to achieve their therapy goals. I'm a good listener and have a great sense of humor!
I love working with clients to help you find ways to cope with difficult life experiences by focusing on your strengths and exploring your challenges.
I use this treatment method for reviewing life stories, making connections between present concerns and past history through the use of journaling and art therapy (if interested) as a way to assist you in examining and interpreting current life challenges.
I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy to help identify negative thoughts, problematic behaviors, and triggers to help you interrupt negative thoughts to help create the life you want to live.
I use supportive therapy to help my clients acknowledge their strengths and address the challenges they're currently facing.
I use Christian Counseling with clients when requested as a way to help them identify coping mechanisms, such as the use of prayer and biblical wisdom.
