About Me

Hello — I’m a licensed psychotherapist based in South Florida. I provide a calm, practical space to help you work through stress, emotional overwhelm, and life challenges with clarity and support.

My work is best suited for adults seeking tools, insight, and emotional grounding to manage what they’re dealing with right now. Therapy with me is conversational, focused, and supportive, without being overwhelming or overly clinical.

We typically begin with 45-mins sessions and shift to 30-mins sessions as emotional steadiness grows and coping skills strengthen. There’s no rush to get there — this change simply reflects and supports your progress.

________________________________

What I Help With

• Stress, Anxiety, and Low Mood
We focus on practical coping skills, emotional regulation, and understanding patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety so you can feel more steady and in control.

• Situational Depression & Life Transitions
Work stress, burnout, relationship changes, caregiving roles, health concerns, or feeling stuck — I help you process what’s happening and develop tools to move forward with intention.

• Relationship Support (Individual Therapy Only)
I work with individuals navigating relationship stress, communication challenges, breakups, or boundary issues. While couples are not seen jointly, this work can be helpful for improving how you show up in relationships.

• Professional Stress & Burnout
I frequently support high-achieving adults, helpers, and professionals who feel emotionally exhausted or stretched too thin. We focus on boundaries, stress management, and sustainable self-care.

• Health-Related Stress
As a medical family therapist, I also support clients coping with chronic illness, pain, or health-related anxiety — addressing both emotional and practical concerns.

________________________________

My Approach

My approach is grounded, solution-focused, and collaborative. I draw from person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and practical strategies to help you feel more emotionally regulated and supported — without pressure or judgment.

________________________________

*Important Notes:
• Individual therapy only (no couples sessions)
• Not a good fit for severe or crisis-level concerns
• Best for clients seeking shorter-term focused support, coping tools and directed conversation

Dr. Coleman has been excellent for my growth over the passed few months. She makes sure to communicate expectations, checks in at the beginning of every session to see how you are feeling, and asks if you have anything pressing that YOU would like to discuss before diving into what she has on the agenda. Her communication is exceptional and she has been is a fierce ally in getting me where I want to be mentally. I would recommend Dr. Coleman to anyone and trust her 100% in my mental growth.

I had my last session with Ms. Aprile today, and it was incredibly heartwarming. I remember when I first started our conversations. I was so afraid to open up to anyone, and I kept blaming myself for the ways the people around me reacted towards me. I was in so much pain and had so much confusion about my identity. Ms. Aprile gave me the tools and the wisdom to ground myself in who I really am. She helped me change my neurolinguistic practices and my self talk. She helped me release the shame I felt in my experience. With her help, I was able to see the relationships I needed to step away from and to become grounded in myself.

Since we have started working together I have found the courage to embrace who I am and come out to the people closest to me. I have started the journey towards self love and awareness, and even have found my life’s path as an artist and activist. I’m in the process of starting a non-profit that will provide the safe space Ms. Aprile provided for me for other LGBTQ+ youth.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without Ms. Aprile’s help, and I’m so thankful to have worked alongside her. My life is different thanks to her heart and help, and I’d recommend her to anyone.

I highly recommend Aprile Andelle who helped me overcome my personal struggles in just 8 months. After feeling so much better, we were able to measure the improvement if 20-30% in different key topics. I believe I have learned how to manage emotions better and hope she can continue to do the same for others.
