Hello! My name is April and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work in Maryland and Virginia. I have over 10 years of clinical experience in a variety of mental health settings. My goal is to offer a safe, judgement-free environment while genuinely investing in YOUR therapeutic goals. I offer holistic, strength-based, individually-tailored therapy that incorporates an acceptance and solution-focused approach. I strive to help each client explore and discover how to become the healthiest, happiest, most balanced version of themselves.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will discuss the therapeutic process and what to expect. I will learn more about what brings you to therapy, your background and story. We will work together to identify goals that you'd like to address moving forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am aware of the barriers that black and bipoc individuals face when searching for a therapist. Although therapy may sound nice, many are concerned wondering if the person you talk to is able to provide culturally-competent services...I've been there before! Talking about mental health can already be difficult enough without the stress of worrying if your therapist "gets it." In addition to offering a calming, judgment free space, I offer a safe space for black and bipoc individuals to engage in therapy.
