Getting to know April Hayes
Hi there, I'm April!
My name is April Hayes, and I am a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with a wide range of clients, guiding them to build on their strengths and address various issues. When I'm not providing therapy, I enjoy spending time with my culturally diverse and active family.
My approach
I don't believe one size fits all, so I like exploring each client's goals and collaborating on the best approach to meet them. As an eclectic therapist, I typically draw from humanistic and existential philosophies while remaining solution-focused.
My focus
I have experience working with adults, children, Veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds, often when English is their second language. My primary focus has been supporting those who have experienced various types of trauma, which can manifest in many ways such as anger, anxiety, depression, isolation, and panic attacks.
My communication style
As a soft-spoken therapist, I am skilled at listening carefully and asking questions to ensure I understand clients' internal and external experiences. I want my clients to feel comfortable discussing anything without embarrassment. I believe mutual respect between therapist and client is essential.
My journey to therapy
Like many therapists, I have faced my own challenging experiences and successfully worked through them. This has motivated me to help others manage their challenges and has allowed me to connect with clients on a deeper level. Many clients have shared that they feel I truly understand their experiences. These situations have also given me extensive experience advocating for victims of trauma as an expert witness in court.
My goals for you
I believe it's important to work together as a team to set goals and determine how we will measure progress toward meeting them.
