Hello. I am a psychotherapist based in South Florida. I talk with you about whatever matters most to you. I support those who are ready for change.
I specialize in Stress, Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression. I help you remember that, despite difficult ordeals, it is possible to move forward. I also remind you that talking helps.
My top work entails...
"Positive Mental Health by Understanding Ourselves" – I work closely with clients going through Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma. Together we discuss the memories and feelings that you're struggling with and figure out healthy ways to talk and cope. Plus, lots of conversation on creating healthy habits, seeing a doctor, when medication is necessary, and how to sustain peace, calm, and balance inside and out.
"Situational Depression and Anxiety" – Covid put all of us in different places, situations and changes--some positive, some not so positive. Its repercussions are still present today. This is where you share with me what is going on in your life triggering difficulty in coping with current circumstances. I do mental health assessments, and together we discuss what you're going through, how to express your feelings, and how to lift your mood and focus on thoughts, actions, and behaviors despite how life unfolds. You will learn resilience... essentially how to respond versus react and follow your life values and make decisions accordingly.
"Couples Therapy for One" - I am a big proponent to healing relationships if that is a part of your goals. I work with *individuals* as they work to better their relationships or move through relationship conflict, breakup, or even divorce. Some call it "couples therapy" despite it being with just one person present as my client.
"Professional Growth/Entrepreneur Mental Health" – I work with those struggling through Stress and Burnout. Particularly to those who are entrepreneurs, business owners, and high achieving professionals facing unique challenges of that lifestyle. Also, this is ideal for those in the helping and caregiving professions such as nurses, therapists, counselors, and first responders.
"Health Focused" – Also, I am a medical family therapist. I can talk with you about your chronic pain and/or illness struggles along with medical facets to your diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
*MORE ABOUT ME:* I believe mindfulness and self-care are powerful and freeing. I practice solution focused, person-centered, positive psychology everyday. I am enthralled with the stars (of the sky), live for music and travel, and frequently am found taking walks in the South Florida sunshine. In the meantime, I love working with my clients, and supporting them through growth. How can I help you?

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.

Aprile is an excellent counselor that really helps me out with my issues.
Written on Nov 28, 2020 after therapy with Aprile for 1 year and 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and career difficulties
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.

Truly the best thing to happen was getting paired with Aprile.

I did not think that therapy worked for me until I started working with Aprile. She is incredibly compassionate and caring, but will also help you hold yourself accountable. I have made so much progress since I began talking with her.
Written on Apr 27, 2020 after therapy with Aprile for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, and self esteem
I started seeing Aprile back in June of 2019. I had so many events that hit me all at once. My scale of how I felt in a day varied dramatically. I would be at a 8 and then plummet to a 1 in the span of a day. Aprile really helped me to stabilize my scale by teaching me about self care, setting goals for myself and listening to what was happening in my life. After nine months, I decided to end my session with Aprile because I felt better and stable compared to when I first started. Aprile also felt it was time and we did an overview of my goals for coming to Betterhelp and of how I felt then versus now. I would definitely use Betterhelp and Aprile's services again. Thank you Aprile and Betterhelp! You changed my life for the better!

Aprille has been amazingly helpful at a difficult time in my life. She has been available and responsive. Therapy is new for me. If not for Aprille’s soft spoken, thoughtful words I probably not be continuing therapy.
Written on Jan 13, 2020 after therapy with Aprile for 2 months on issues concerning family conflicts, grief, and coping with life changes
This is my first time and using a counselor, and at first was skeptical of doing it for actually virtually. However, Aprile has been very patient and responsive with my messages and issues, proving to always be there when I am in the most need in crises.When we spoke, I didn’t feel like she was very far, and she is always very caring. She gives me very important advice that has helped me overcome my depression, and I have seen great progress and how I deal with my own problems. Would highly recommend Aprile to someone else who is in need, especially people who are grieving and who have relationship issues.

I'm very thankful to Aprile. She is a great therapist. She listened to me and understood root cause of the depression of mine which even I wasn't sure. I only knew I was very sad and not able to do anything. But Aprile made sure I understand myself and my problems and my solutions. I'm very grateful that I got to work with Aprile on my mental illness.

I can't thank Aprile enough and I am truly grateful for what I have been able to achieve with her. She not only guided me through difficult situations, but also challenged me to face my issues front on. I'm so glad I got matched up with Aprile because she made me feel so comfortable and valued. I found myself constantly looking forward to our weekly sessions and Aprile really took counselling to another level for me, I was able to speak freely and talk to her like a friend. As a result of our sessions, I've achieved a lot of mental clarity and I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

I joined BetterHelp after going through a difficult year and having to cope with a change in my body, but with some new life changes ahead. I was struggling to cope with all of this, and Aprile immediately helped. She is passionate about what she does, and she taught me how to use lifelong tools that now empower me to cope with the negative and appreciate the positive in my life. She always listened to me and helped me be kind to myself and deal with every difficulty that I encountered in this journey. I am happy and grateful for the time spent working with Aprile on my mental wellbeing. Thank you so much. :)

I chose Aprile as my therapist as I wanted someone that I could connect with, I needed to tell my story to a black woman that I could bond and trust her guidance. It was meant to bewith Aprile. Aprile has helped me to rebuild myself, I feel stronger and confidence and at this point ready to apply everything that I have learnt with her. She has help me to shape my confidence, to work in my black mixed identity, building a healthier and loving relationship with myself. Uplifting me whilst dealing with a break up, welcoming my break through and providing me with tips to deal with SAD. I believe I could have done everything by myself however it would have taken longer maybe years. Her support has been key in my healing journey and definitely I will come back to work with her, whenever I feel I need a bit of extra support in my life journey.
Thanks Aprile.

Dr. Andelle has been a fantastic source of support. Working with her on my confidence issues has been challenging, yet incredibly rewarding.

I’ve been working with Aprille for quite some time. She has helped me through difficulties with a certain relationship and also issues with infertility. When I first made the decision to try BH I was desperate and felt like I couldn’t breathe. I was afraid of what was to come and how I was going to get through things. I’m so glad I was matched with Aprile, as she is so kind and caring and knows exactly how to give one the tools they need to become stronger and believe in themselves. I will be eternally grateful for her help and I feel a lot more confident in myself now that I have all these tools I can use to help me going forward.

Aprile has helped me so much in such a short period of time. She has helped give me techniques to manage stress and anxiety. She is also very responsive and works with my schedule. I would highly recommend Aprile to anyone I know.

Aprile has been amazing with providing me with skills and tools to help better manage my anxiety and relationships. She helps me to understand the method and background behind solid strategies that I can use on a daily basis, and provides articles to refer to. She's also very supportive while also being realistic and provides both encouragement and constructive feedback; always things I need to hear!
Written on Nov 20, 2018 after therapy with Aprile for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and self esteem
I decided to join Betterhelp because I was in a relationship that I felt very weak in, some may call it a toxic relationship. Before I started working with Aprile Andelle I was having mixed feelings of anxiety, stress, and frustration. I always felt drained and had no control over my life
anymore. Aprile helped me learn more about myself and how I can take full control over my life by simply deciding to take a step towards change. Aprile’s Solution focused based Approach helped me in becoming proactive as we worked through the problem I was facing. She helped me understand what I really want in a relationship, and helped me practice setting healthy boundaries that lead to my comfort. When I first joined betterhelp I was a bit skeptical about the online counseling method, I also wasn't sure whether the counselor I was going to be paired to could really help me. However Aprile Andelle was even more than what I expected. She really knows what she's talking about and she helped me transition to a whole new state of mind. Now that I am done with counseling I can say that my experience with Aprile was very positive and successful. I feel that I am empowered to take lead of my life and every step within it. I am very comfortable with everything
that has become and I’m also very grateful for it.

Aprile is a very attentive and aware counselor. When she knows that something might affect you, she takes that into consideration in working with you, whether its to encourage positive outcomes or to help avert potential negative effects. I appreciate her detail-oriented approach a lot!

Though my time with BetterHelp and Ms. Aprile Andelle was short, she helped me tremendously in a period of serious need. She helped me to see through the darkness of the turbulent storm I was in, serving as the lighthouse that guided me back to safer shores, encouraging me to use healthy tools and techniques at my disposal to paddle along. I highly recommend Ms. Andelle to young people dealing with all the building stresses of life, from entrepreneurship to personal relationships.

Aprile has been amazing! I have tried counselling before and I hated it. I get so excited for our weekly calls and it's nice to have someone to talk to when I am in need instead of waiting for my next session.
She is an amazing listener and really encourages me to grow and become better. She is always using positive reinforcement to help encourage me to keep going.

Before working together I was feeling very insecure, I had many personal issues going on in my life. Aprile helped me to look within myself and reach out to God to be able to rebuild my own security, she also gave me very constructive advice in my relationships. And the most important she helped me feel like I wasn't alone of crazy for thinking, or feeling like I was feeling. She never judged me, and feeling free to be myself and feeling the worth of my actions through the scope of a person who is trying the best she can to be better, and understood, was worth everything to me. Now I feel much more secure, I am able to understand myself better as well as my emotions, I also am braver, and have been able to face in a very logical way the different mountains in my life and process them in a healthy way.

Aprile was absolutely amazing. She has such a wonderful and positive energy. I have only been using this platform for just over a month but I already have so much more of a positive outlook that I no longer feel I need counseling. She really tunes into you as an individual and customizes her approach based on what you need, and she’s asks the right questions that make you think and actually often come to the right conclusions on your own which puts your problems into a perspective. I will genuinely miss speaking to her on a regular basis but that just shows how great she was. :)
Written on Jan 26, 2018 after therapy with Aprile for 1 month
Aprile has been a great help in the short time we worked together. She’s a great listener, very understanding and made a lot of suggestions on ways to deal with my situations. She is very informative, a great communicator and just a sweetheart. I’m so grateful for her help. I would recommend both Aprile and BetterHelp to anyone looking for counseling services.

Aprils has been wonderful, and I couldn't have asked for a better counselling experience so far. I was nervous to begin, but have found that Aprile has made it so comfortable for me to talk things through with her, and has already helped guide me through a difficult decision in my life & relationship. I'm so grateful to have her guidance & couldn't recommend her enough.

I’d like to put out there that I really appreciated the help I got from y’all. Aprile Andelle was so kind and understand. She really helped me get through conflicting thoughts and feelings toward myself. I had a vehicle accident and since talking with her have had easier times in a vehicle with way less stress. She helped me recognize things in myself for what they are and that they’re very overcome-able. Definitely feeling empowered and able to move forward. Thank you again Aprile!

I was completely new to counseling and found an easy and soft way in with Aprile's help. She helped me on a family matter with hinting on the options I had to solve it, but without being pushy. It helped me start conversations in my family in a way I would have normally been too stubborn to chose. I'm very grateful to her for showing my how helpful counseling can be and I feel I'm now ready too seek face-to-face advice by a counselor in my own city and language. Thanks Aprile.

I had Aprile as my consultant for a month. I was in deep depression and I didn't know what I was going to do with the depression. After I started with BetterHelp and started talking to Aprile Andelle, I felt less lonely. She supported me and helped me through some tough times. She gave me lots of advice that actually made a difference in my life. With her help I went to my doctor, and my doctor referred me to a psychiatrist. I'm going to have an appointment with the psychiatrist next week. It's a big step I ever have made in my entire life. I have hopes that I will be better and have a healthy life. And it's all thanks to my counselor, Aprile Andelle.
