April Chen, LMSW

Practicing Since: 2022

April strives to create a compassionate and nurturing atmosphere where individuals can safely explore their emotions and challenges. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and enhanced through creative interventions, fostering growth and helping clients achieve optimal outcomes despite the mental health challenges they face.  She has significant experience helping clients return to their baseline levels of functioning.  She is committed to helping clients find hope, resilience, and strength in the face of life’s most difficult moments.

April views mental health as an integral part of overall well-being, and believes the therapeutic process is a mutual exchange that thrives on trust and rapport. Establishing a strong, supportive relationship with her clients is the foundation of successful therapy. She is deeply committed to erasing the negative stigma surrounding mental health treatment, promoting openness, and normalizing the pursuit of mental wellness. Through this approach, she aims to guide clients towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and fulfillment in their personal journeys.
