Palm City, FL - Accepting clients in FL
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.

I am a bilingual therapist that uses a culturally competent lens to empower individuals. I utilize a down to earth, genuine, and caring approach to help clients build resilience, heal from life’s challenges, and unlock their own strengths.
My parents came from Cuba in order to open up the doors for me to have what they never had the opportunity to obtain. I am the first person in my family to attend college and to this day the majority of my family does not speak English. My family raised me in a culture where family and relationships are highly valued. I feel very fortunate to have blended cultural values and morals, as this helps me better understand others from different cultures.
Are you struggling with crippling guilt and anxiety? Are you caught in a spiral of worry or stress you can’t stop, constantly second-guessing yourself? You feel stuck in the loop of “what ifs”: “what if I fail?”, “what if I lose my job?”, etc.
Has owning a business & battling the daily overwhelm of the constant anxious thoughts gotten to be more than you can handle?
Are you a first/second gen who is feeling the exhaustion of being the first at everything? You're a tightrope walker, trying to balance others expectations with your own desires. You feel like you’re never “good enough” and are tired of the guilt.
Is parenting an overachieving anxious teen leaving you feeling at a complete loss as to how to help them or where to even begin?
Hi, I’m Tery, I specialize in anxiety with a special interest/focus in first/ second gen, entrepreneurs, and teens. If you’re looking for a therapist who can relate and will interweave authenticity with a refreshingly no-bullshit, direct approach, then you have come to the right place.

Because sleep quality is critical to physical and mental health I am passionate about helping people get good sleep.
I received my PhD from Duke University and have been a practicing psychologist for many years. I work primarily with behavioral sleep medicine because sleep problems are so widespread and there are not enough specialists to meet the need. I continue working with people with anxiety, depression, and couples issues. The methods I use are evidence-based and trauma-informed. I am also an ordained member of the clergy (rabbi) and consider one's spirituality an important part of treatment for many, though not all people.
I’ve practiced telehealth exclusively since early 2020. Most people like working this way because of convenience. Therapy is not adversely affected and I am even able to do hypnosis via telehealth.

Feeling angry, frustrated or overly sad? Having difficulties in your relationship with family or friends? Changes in employment making staying focused and on task difficult? Have you found yourself being more withdrawn, hypervigilant, anxious or found yourself relying on alcohol, food or screen time to cope with stress? Sometimes we need a little extra support to gain clarity and explore other perspectives. Lets work together to explore healthier coping skills and make these situations feel less overwhelming for you.
I believe a respectful, supportive, collaborative, free from judgement relationship is important for therapeutic healing. I am warm, caring and supportive. My specialties include depression, anxiety, substance abuse, parenting, relationship concerns and sex therapy. I work from a mindfulness approach and I am CBT and solution focused oriented.
I enjoy working with clients of diverse ethnic backgrounds, cultures, gender, and sexual orientations. I believe in the power of choice and each persons ability to achieve their desired goals. I have a dual Masters in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and I’m currently working on my Ph.D in Clinical Sexology.

I help adults in Florida move through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, career stress, and major life changes — with support that feels real, practical, and empowering.
With over 10 years of experience, I offer virtual therapy for adults who are ready to feel better but aren’t sure where to start. Whether you’re overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or simply trying to find direction, I’m here to help you gain clarity and take steps forward.
Clients often describe our sessions as relaxed, supportive, and meaningful — like talking with someone who genuinely understands. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself, explore what’s going on, and start making progress at your own pace.
I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies to help you better understand your thoughts, regulate emotions, and build practical coping tools that fit your life. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you — whether that’s managing stress, processing past pain, or building confidence in the present.
Therapy with me is active and collaborative — we don’t just talk about change, we work toward it.
