My name is April Barker Casey. I am an independently listened social worker in the state of OH. I have have over 25 years of professional experience in helping people manage symptoms of stress, and heal past trauma. I believe that you are the expert in your life and that you have strengths that will assist you in overcoming challenges. I’m here to help you manage symptoms related to stress, anxiety, trauma, and abuse so that you can thrive in the face of obstacles.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, we will introduce ourselves and I will ask a bunch of questions to determine what you are seeking from therapy. We will decide together if we are a good match and develop at least one goal to begin our work.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My experience is my most valuable asset. I believe that sessions belong to the client. The client's goal is my goal. I'm definitely a "straight shooter." I believe that therapy is what you make of it. I want client's to have the best experience possible. I am just as comfortable challenging clients as I am praising them.
