Hello! Welcome I have been around since Fred Flinstone, (not really) but I am active and very committed to helping people meet their personal goals. I have been a clinical supervisor for years so hopefully, I do have some expertise! Fortunately, there have been many positive comments and outcomes with my work. This is highly satisfactory. Many years ago, my career in sales was successful but I chose to change fields to assist those in need. I live in sunny Florida with a husband, cats and dogs and volunteer at a dog rescue.

I dedicate my work to assisting individuals in achieving greater self-awareness, healthy assertiveness, and the courage to be vulnerable in safe, empowering ways.

Whether you’re facing anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, or substance misuse, I won’t promise to “fix” everything. What I can promise is my full commitment—sharing every skill, tool, and insight I have—to help you explore, grow, and learn. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m ready to walk it with you.

My specific treatment areas include treating depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, anger control problems and impulse control disorders.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology(1986) and a Master of Arts degree in Mental Health/Rehabilitation Counseling(1993) from the University of South Florida. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida since 1997. For 12 years, I provided mental health services for children and teenagers with emotional and behavioral problems in the school system. Since 2004, I have had my own agency that provides mental health services and behavioral analysis services for the state of Florida's developmental disability program. I also provide mental health services for the elderly. For the last couple of years, I have provided telehealth therapy services for various populations.

I am an energetic and creative therapist passionate about meeting with people to bring more clarity, peace, and joy into their life. I am also a Christian, mother, cat-mom, artist, athlete, amateur cook/baker, and reading enthusiast. I utilize a mixture of evidence-based practices and creative exercises to meet people where they are at, develop a deep understanding of their circumstances, as well as how they are thinking about those circumstances. I guide my client to setting specific intentions for our time together that they agree will be worthwhile. I will be warm and understanding, but I am also not afraid to challenge my clients on things they could benefit from changing. I often enjoy using humor and laughter as a force for that change. I have experience serving in a private practice outpatient capacity, intensive outpatient hospital setting, and at the residential level of care. These unique settings have given me a variety of skills and an ability to understand multiple levels of distress and/or what past treatment may have been like for my clients (the good, the bad, and the ugly.)

I worked with a variety of age groups that exposed me to facilitate individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy and interventions. I also have over a decade of experience working in the fitness and wellness industry, which has influenced my therapy style, as I believe a healthy body leads to a healthy mind; therefore, activity and movement are highly encouraged and praised when working with me. I became a therapist mostly due to my interest in individuals and the recognition that everyone has their own story to tell.

Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a second graduate degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida. I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School. We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.

With a direct yet compassionate approach to therapy, I help clients identify issues that are causing distress in their lives. I have 36 years of experience and have written two books: "Bipolarized" and "Borderline" -- one on bipolar disorder and the other on borderline personality disorder. Many clients gain insight into their disorders through reading my books and identifying a list of issues to work on in therapy. Hypnotherapy is extremely valuable and I ask clients to record the sessions to listen to the recording every day. This reinforces positive messages to improve self-esteem, reduce anxiety, stress and depression and identify relevant issues on a subconscious level.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I specialize in working with busy women who struggle with high-functioning anxiety showing up as chronic worry, people-pleasing, perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed and more. Imagine a life where anxiety stops running the show. I'll help you shift your relationship with anxiety so you can stop the overthinking and self-doubt--and reconnect with yourself, and with the people and priorities that matter most. I help women who give everything to others but feel disconnected from themselves, high achievers, other therapists, and moms--heal what's beneath the surface. Together, we'll get to the bottom of what's keeping you stuck so you can finally feel free. Working with me means deep, transformative therapy--creating a space where you don't have to perform or filter your pain. Using EMDR and attachment-focused approaches, we work to uncover the real root of what's holding you back, so healing can last. This is your space to finally break free and move forward. I'm April Forella, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist based in Palm City, Florida. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I integrate EMDR therapy, somatic and attachment-based approaches, and tools from CBT and Polyvagal Theory to support deep, lasting healing. Whether you're carrying the weight of childhood wounds, navigating burnout, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, therapy with me is a space to slow down, reconnect, and grow into the version of you that feels most whole and grounded.
