Your therapist. Your cool Aunt April:)

I'm April Smith, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Cary, NC. I've spent years working with young adults who are navigating the messy, confusing, sometimes overwhelming stretch of life that nobody really prepares you for.

My clients are smart, self-aware people who are doing their best — and still struggling. Maybe you're anxious all the time and you don't totally know why. Maybe you're in a job that's draining you, or a relationship that's confusing you, or just feeling kind of lost in general. That's exactly where I come in.

I'm not the therapist who nods silently and asks "how does that make you feel?" I'm direct, warm, and real. I'll challenge you when it's helpful and support you when you need it. Think of me as the cool aunt who also happens to have a therapy license — someone who takes your problems seriously without making you feel like a case study.
