Hi my name is April and I am a Clinical Licensed Social Worker (LCSW). I think it is important to feel comfortable working with a therapist and one of the ways to do that is to get to know a little about me and my experience. For over 7 years now I have been empowering individuals to work through their personal obstacles. One of the ways I have been able to do that is by using one of the treatment modalities that I have been train in. I have a variety of experience with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Trauma therapy, and Dialectical behavioral Therapy. I have used the different treatments to help with people work through some very stressful and traumatic times in their lives and I have found that I have a real passion for working with individual and families. I have enjoyed assisting people in discovering new ways to improve their lives. I think that I could help you in the same way that I have helps others.
I would like to know a little more about you. Have you recently had a decrease in mood? Are there things that you would like to change about your currently situation? Together we will identify what might have caused this change and work together through the struggles as well as to identify strategies to help get you through this difficult time. I look forward to working with you.
