The Jade stone is associated with life force energy, harmony, love, and emotional wellness. It connects to the Heart Chakra. It is believed to have the ability to transform negative energies into positive ones that promote joyfulness and love. Jade Counseling Center believes in taking a heart-centered approach to healing, by building a strong therapeutic, human connection first. Similar to the properties of the stone, this process allows for transmuting negative experiences from the past into a life of Joy, Vitality, and Purpose.

About Maddie Quirk, LPC

As a highly sensitive person I have always been drawn to the healing arts. I believe everyone has the innate ability to heal and all the techniques I offer are things that I have received the benefit from as well in my own personal work.

Starting out in the field of addiction treatment, I often felt frustrated by the lack of real results and constant cycle of relapsing my clients were trapped in. I knew that talking about the problem wasn’t enough. This lead me to pursue further training in trauma therapies, somatic work, and energy healing. I believe that true change is possible when we get to the root source. The type of work I do is deep and transformational, and I work from a trauma-informed lens.

In addition to my formal education I am also a fully trained EMDR therapist, Yoga teacher, and Usui Reiki Level II practitioner. I believe that using a combination of clinical skills with holistic healing methods provides a container for total transformation of mind, body, and spirit. I am able to combine traditional talk therapy with EMDR or Reiki healing for 50, 75, or 90 minute sessions.

I specialize in treating childhood trauma, chronic pain, adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs), post-traumatic stress disorder, and codependency. However, you do not have to identify as having these “problems” to work with me. I welcome people from all walks of life and have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I’m happy to work with clients who are simply seeking support and guidance through the difficulties of life. I don’t take myself too seriously and I love to connect and laugh with clients in session. I’m committed to meeting you where you are and assisting you in cultivating joy and vitality in your life!
