Getting to know April Farael

April Farael is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their CA license number is 148163, and their current employer is April Farael Psychotherapy. April earned a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and holds a Bachelor's degree from San Francisco State University. Life can feel like a constant balancing act-juggling responsibilities, relationships, and personal growth while quietly battling self-doubt, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection. You may have tried all the "right" things-self-help books, mindfulness practices, pushing through-but something still feels missing. Maybe you're questioning your path, comparing yourself to others, or struggling with expectations that never seem to let up. Therapy offers a space to escape the noise and tune into yourself. Together, we can untangle the patterns holding you back, challenge unhelpful narratives, and build a more authentic, fulfilling life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe a trusting therapist-client relationship is key to growth and healing. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and couples, tailoring my approach to each client’s needs. Using an integrative approach, I draw from many modalities to offer support in a safe, compassionate space where you can explore challenges and build lasting change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach to talk therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every client is different, and so is our work together. I follow what each person needs and wants, creating a space where they can explore their emotions, challenges, and goals in a way that feels right for them. Therapy should be a reflection of you—not a rigid process. My role is to support, guide, and adapt to what serves you best.
