Jan Carr directs the Behavioral Health Department of LifeCare Medical Center in Roseau.

Jan has been an employee with LifeCare Medical Center since 1990. When she began her career with LifeCare as a hospital and long-term care social worker she discovered that mental health needs of the community were unmet due to a lack of mental health professionals. Because of this she decided to pursue an educational path that would allow her to help provide these much needed services. She attended the University of Minnesota and in 1997 completed the Master of Social Work program and earned her degree in clinical social work. After completing the necessary requirements for licensure she began researching how to provide mental health services. In 2002 Jan began seeing patients as the first therapist for LifeCare Medical Center. Recruitment processes began shortly after and today LifeCare Medical Center has four therapists and serve patients with all mental and behavioral health needs.

Jan also is the Director of Social Services, Discharge Planning and Utilization Review for LifeCare Medical Center.

Jan lives in Roseau with her husband Bob. They have two grown sons.

Do you fall into these self-defeating traps? These are just a few examples of ways in which we can perpetuate depression and anxiety. These are catch phrases taken from the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Basically, this is how I do therapy. This approach focuses on understanding a person's behavior in the context of their environment, thoughts, and feelings. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not external things, like people, situations, and events. The benefit of this fact is that we can change the way we think to feel / act better even if the situation does not change. CBT is based on the scientifically supported assumption that most emotional and behavioral reactions are learned. Therefore, the goal of therapy is to help clients unlearn their unwanted reactions and to learn a new way of reacting. Therefore, CBT has nothing to do with "just talking". People can "just talk" with anyone. And yes there is homework. Want to know more about this approach or feel as if you can use a session or two to uncover some of these traps?

Give me a call at LifeCare Medical Center and I'll be glad to help.
