April is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC).  She holds a dual Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology from Hunter College, New York, and earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from Delaware State University, graduating with honors. Additionally, April has more than a decade of experience serving clients who have presented a variety of mental and behavioral health problems. 

 

April recognizes that for many people, the decision to seek professional help, to meet with someone who can help address their mental health challenges, is a huge step. To help make this step easier, April offers clients a safe therapeutic space that provides them with the support they need in the beginning of and throughout their counseling journey. Within that space, April utilizes a client-centered approach and works in partnership with her clients to help them identify their strengths and needs to empower them to meet their challenges and achieve their objectives. She also understands the importance of identifying and addressing aspects of an individual’s life that can impact a client’s well-being, such as a client’s level of physical health, the availability of support systems (family, friends), the work or school environment, and the role of faith/spirituality in a client’s life.

​

April is deeply committed to working with marginalized clients, clients whose voices often go unheard. She advocates on behalf of her clients, coaches them in the ways of empowerment, and seeks to provide them with the knowledge and resources they need to overcome their challenges.

​

April serves adults of all ages and works with individuals, families, and groups in treating clients struggling with:

• Anxiety

• Depression
