Getting to know April Simms

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly 20 years of experience in mental health. My goal is to guide you through your counseling journey by helping you recognize your strengths, boost your self-esteem, and develop healthy coping skills to manage life’s challenges. I bring energy, compassion, and professionalism to every session. I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, grief, life transitions, and couples/marital issues. I provide individual and couples counseling. I’m trauma-informed and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which allows me to help you process difficult memories and reduce distress. I blend evidence-based methods to tailor our work together, always honoring your pace and personal goals. You can expect a warm, collaborative atmosphere where your voice is heard and valued. My therapeutic background encompasses eclectic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Strengths-Based Therapy. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply seeking personal growth, I’m here to partner with you. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Feel free to reach out to schedule a consultation—I look forward to meeting you!
