April Gilchrist, LPC-S, NCC

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor who is dedicated to working with individuals to heal past trauma and the anxiety and depression that weighs you down. I am also experienced in working with addiction and helping individuals achieve life long sobriety.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of clinical experience, and I have worked with various individuals with Anxiety, Depression, Domestic Abuse/Violence, Trauma, PTSD, and Substance Use.

I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored to understand the client’s perspective better and develop solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Reality therapy, EMDR, and DBT are used when applicable. I believe that trust and genuineness are the bedrock of the therapeutic relationship.

I am a non-directive therapist that will attempt to meet you where you are. I take pride in being non-judgmental and providing an environment where you feel safe in being your authentic self. I am here to assist you in setting realistic and attainable goals. We will discuss, set, and review goals routinely throughout the therapy process.

Our first session is a chance to get to know one another and determine if we both feel it is a good fit. I will obtain background information and review the process of therapy. It is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have for me. We can get to know each other and if I seem to be a great match, I welcome you to reach out and get started today!
