April Smith

My communication style

I tend to be directive as a therapist. Clients who work with me will feel listened to but also walk away with more knowledge than they had before, and will have a better sense of what they can do to address their problems and make things better for them.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I like to help people with their problems. I like to help others based on my personal and professional experience.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with clients by finding out what they want to achieve and how they would like to benefit from therapy.

Our first session

At the first session, clients should expect to explain what brings them to therapy, what they are hoping to achieve, and to come away from the session with some knowledge of coping skills or strategies that they can use right away.
