I have had the distinct pleasure of working with April over the past few years. April has an advanced understanding and application of knowledge and skills and effortlessly combines the science and art of counseling. She is intuitive, creative, and inclusive in her practice, connecting with her clients where they are at. Her approach is gentle, compassionate, and holistic, and I appreciate the way in which she interweaves our natural world as a healing partner into her therapeutic approach. I value that she is down to earth and authentic- she views her clients as people, not diagnoses or problems to be fixed. April holds an accepting space for the people she serves… one that fosters hope, encouragement, and healing." |
Sharing space with April leaves you feeling grounded, thoughtful, and curious. April approaches her work with an immense amount of compassion, vulnerability, and intention. April has a way of cultivating relationships that inspire and support deep reflection, new perspectives, and meaningful growth. Through my consultation with April, I have learned an incredible amount about myself and my practice as a counselor and supervisor. I can say with complete certainty that I am a better counselor, educator, supervisor and person because of my work with April. I highly recommend April as a counselor, supervisor, and consultant, she is at the top of my list for referrals." |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often will we meet?
A: This varies, but usually clients begin with weekly or biweekly sessions. After we have accomplished your goals, we can shift to as needed.
Q: Where do we meet?
A: We will meet via a secure platform with a unique link each time. This will be emailed to you 48 hours prior to our scheduled appointment time. I use a program called Simple Practice. Phone sessions are also available, if you prefer.
Q: How long will I need to be in counseling?
A: This also varies based on each client's situation. Some of my clients have worked with me for just a few months, and many have been with me for years (sometimes off and on) as needed. Counseling is a normal part of a holistically healthy life.
Q: Do I need a diagnosis?
A: If you plan to use insurance or submit superbills for reimbursement, then, yes--a mental health diagnosis is required.
Q: What do I need to know about the No Surprises Act?
A: You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or, for current clients, contact April.
