Hello, my name is Jillian Przybysz-Quick and I look forward to working with you through BetterHelp. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Michigan with over 6 years of experience in mental-health and social services. I have an undergraduate degree in Social Work and Sociology from Hope College and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. As a counselor, I believe every individual is unique and so are there their experiences. Each client has a story that is compelling, presenting opportunities to learn and grow. In terms of therapeutic technique and strategy, one size will never fit all. As a clinician, I strive to tailor my approaches to each individual client to help best meet their needs. I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, behavioral challenges, anger issues, mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, trauma/abuse, separation/divorce, and significant life changes. Taking steps towards improved mental health is a brave move, and I am thankful for this platform to help people grow and learn. We can work together towards healing and recovery in a safe and understanding environment. I promise to be an empathetic listener and make sure you feel heard. I utilize techniques from the following evidenced-based therapies: cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and the strengths based perspective. I strive to use client-centered therapy methods by empowering my clients to be a part of their own change and allowing them to make the decisions that will impact their overall well-being. I generally check messages here a few times per day Monday-Saturday and respond as quickly as I can. Please let me know if you have any questions about me or my experiences. I look forward to talking with you soon and helping you take that first step to improve your life. Jillian
