Getting to know April Gilchrist

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Texas and Louisiana. I see counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the counselor, having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for improved life and work, and systemically work toward realizing these goals. My approach I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, exploring patterns of thoughts and actions to better understand your perspective and develop solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Reality Therapy, EMDR, and DBT are used when applicable. These strategies encourage accountability within the individual. My focus I have a special interest in working with individuals healing from trauma (both past and present), anxiety, depression, and addiction issues. I have significant experience working with the opiate-addicted population, having spent 6.5 years providing services in a MAT program. My communication style I am a non-directive therapist who will attempt to meet you where you are. I take pride in being non-judgmental and providing an environment where clients feel safe and secure in being their authentic selves. I believe that trust and genuineness are the bedrock of the therapeutic relationship. My role is to facilitate discussion and guide you on your journey to finding answers within yourself. My journey to therapy My journey began with an interest in why people do what they do, which soon turned into a passion for helping guide people to answers and solutions in their lives. I completed my undergraduate degree in psychology with a minor in forensic psychology at Texas State University–San Marcos in 2006. I then earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Louisiana State University–Shreveport, graduating with honors in 2009.
