April Poolson, LPC

April is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She is very empathetic and genuinely makes an effort to work with me through my problems in ways that I am comfortable with and find helpful. I am hesitant to write a good review for her because she is without a doubt, my favorite therapist I have ever had and I want to be able to easily get an appointment. She is truly great though and I would recommend her to anyone. She is fantastic at her job. I am just coming back to therapy due to some money problems, the deciding factor to come back to Better Help instead of going anywhere else was that I can work with April here.

Im incredibly grateful to have found April through BetterHelp. I relocated and my therapist I had been working with for some time was no longer an option, I was hesitant to begin working with a new therapist but it was clear very quickly that April was a great fit. She’s helped me work through what has likely been one of the toughest seasons of my life thus far and navigate an unhealthy relationship and removing myself from the situation with a level of compassion and gentleness that ensured I felt supported and never judged. Not sure I could’ve navigated this season without her support.

April listen carefully, identifies possible problems and gives solutions with advice and practical exercises.

I was immediately comfortable with April which allowed me to be vulnerable and share intimate details and issues that are a large cause to my depression. She is empathetic, encouraging, strategic (in that she gives me directives to practice afterward that I am open to and do), and most importantly to me; I receive sincere validation. I would love to continue working with her but know it is for a temporary amount of time due to cost. I value my time with her every week and look forward to our sessions.
