You will find the length of sessions, what to expect at your intake or healing session and more information about how each service can be of help to you. Please note that counseling services can not be combined with Holistic Services. You will be asked to make a choice at your intake call as to which service you are seeking. This is due to licensure restrictions and guidelines of LMHC.

Individual Counseling

Counseling sessions for individuals typically last 50 minutes. April offers flexible payments and a sliding scale fee.

What to expect at your intake session:
The first counseling session tends to take a little longer than a typical counseling session because April likes to gather a full social history of you, your family and your presenting issue that is bringing you to therapy. April will ask that you arrive to your appointment 10-minutes early to fill out paperwork in the waiting room. The intake session typically lasts for 90 minutes. This amount of time will give you the opportunity to discuss the reasons why you are coming to counseling and will allow you to set your intention and goals for therapy.

Counseling for Children

Counseling sessions for children run between 30-35 minutes depending on the child's attention span. April offers flexible payments and a sliding scale fee.

Play therapy is usually the most effective form of counseling for children as PLAY IS A CHILD'S LANGUAGE. Children who are dealing with anger issues, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a parent's divorce etc. will also be educated on coping and anger management skills through bibliotherapy, role playing and specific board games that address these issues.

Children thrive on predictability and consistency. It is recommended that at least 3 counseling sessions are made at the intake session. If it is possible with your schedule, you and April will choose a specific day and time for your child's counseling sessions and stick to that schedule on a weekly basis for the first 3 sessions. Sessions thereafter can be determined to continue once a week, once every two weeks or once a month depending on the child's progress. This will give the child a day and time to look forward to each week.

What to expect at your child's intake session:
Believe it or not April will ask that you the parent, caregiver or guardian come to the intake session without the child. The reason for this is to allow April the opportunity to gather as much information as she can about the child, the family and the issues the child is dealing with along with gathering a full social history. April will ask that you arrive to your appointment 10-minutes early to fill out paperwork in the waiting room. The intake session can take up to 90 minutes. This amount of time will give you the opportunity to discuss the reasons why you are seeking counseling for the child and will allow you to set your intentions and goals for therapy.

Couples and Family Counseling

Counseling sessions for couples or families typically last 60 minutes. April offers flexible payments and a sliding scale fee.

What to expect at the intake session:
The first counseling session tends to take a little longer than a typical counseling session because April likes to gather a full social history of each individual in the relationship and/or family and explore the presenting issue that is bringing you to therapy. April will ask that you arrive to your appointment 10-minutes early to fill out paperwork in the waiting room. The intake session typically takes 90 minutes. This amount of time will give you the opportunity to discuss the reasons why you are coming to counseling and will allow you to set your intentions and goals for therapy.
