CLIENT FEEDBACK

April’s profound understanding of behavioral disorders is illuminated through her dynamic treatment approach. She helps clients not only confront their challenges but feel empowered to navigate the intricate path to behavioral wellness with confidence.

If I could leave 6 stars instead of 5, I would! I’ve been seeing April for a few years now and she’s truly helped me navigate through some of life’s most difficult seasons. She’s so welcoming, nonjudgmental, encouraging, and helpful in giving me alternative ways to look at things or giving little nuggets of advice that are absolute gold when I need it most.

Empower Counseling has been excellent. I have been a patient for about 3 years and April is both companionate and realistic. One of the hallmarks of a great therapist is being supportive but also willing to provide constructive criticism, Empower is a perfect blend of both of those principals.

April and her team at Empower Counseling are excellent and have made a huge positive difference in my life.  April is personable, funny and friendly, professional and knowledgeable.  She's a real person!  Her treatment was effective for me and my family.  April helped me look on the positive side while still acknowledging my real issues and the emotional pain I had.  Go see April and her team!!  Highly recommend!
