My Story

Greetings! I am April Smith.  I consider myself a healer.  I come from a family of Mexican healers called "curanderos".  I have been working as a healer for decades. I worked as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (aka acupuncturist) for over 20 years and now I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor.

I started as a couples counselor and decided to change the focus of my practice.  I am now practicing individual, wellness psychotherapy.  I also run groups on different topics regarding mental health. 

My Expertise

My background and training has played a huge part in my approach to therapy which includes the Mind/Body connection.  I was an acupuncturist for 20 years and practiced Traditional Chinese Medicine.  I decided that I really liked the "talking part" of the treatment sessions and decided to go back to graduate school to study counseling.  

I approach each session with an open mind and open heart.  I do feel that women especially were not taught how to effectively express themselves in healthy ways.  I do focus on teaching empowerment techniques to help women find their inner strength.  

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.  I’m hoping every person will leave the counseling session with some new self-awareness.  After all, we are all just trying to find our way.
