Getting to know April West
My career started as a classroom teacher and school counselor. I currently have over 20 years of experience working with students and families. I earned my MEd in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. In addition to my school counseling career, I am a crisis clinician in a major hospital in the DFW metroplex and work in over 32 emergency rooms providing on-call patient care.
My role as a therapist is to assist and support clients as they learn new ways of coping and adjusting to life's challenges. Counseling will vary depending upon one's personality, stage of life, strengths, or particular concern. Getting started can feel overwhelming. You have no idea where to even begin. You've been putting off therapy because you're afraid it won't help. More than anything, you'd like to be able to feel happy again. You'd like to be able to put yourself out there more and create deeper, more meaningful relationships with others. You want to have the courage to be your authentic self without hiding behind a mask.
My goal as a therapist is to find solutions that work for you on an individual basis, helping you to discover the true potential of your life. We can work together to find comfort and resolve the difficult areas of your life and the challenges you have to face-all from the comfort of your couch. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer, and we can connect. We all face unexpected challenges that sometimes leave us feeling hopeless and powerless. I believe that we have the ability to make healthy and appropriate choices regardless of the circumstances in which we may find ourselves.
