Therapy Session in Florida

Your journey, your pace—I'm here to walk beside you. Navigating life’s challenges—whether facing depression, processing trauma, or adjusting to major transitions—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. In my practice, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be unapologetically yourself. Healing begins when you’re heard, understood, and supported, and that’s what I strive to offer. You are in the driver’s seat of your care, and I am committed to meeting you exactly where you are. Therapy isn’t about fitting into rigid expectations—it’s about discovering what works for you, embracing authenticity, and moving toward meaningful change. As a solution-focused therapist, I believe in not just talking about challenges but actively working toward progress and growth. Every session is an opportunity to reflect, gain insight, and take steps toward the life you envision. Whether you’re navigating emotional wounds, building resilience, or seeking clarity in uncertain times, we will work together to create pathways forward—ones that align with your strengths, values, and personal goals. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. If you're ready to take that next step, I’m here to support you.

Hello and thank you for reading my bio! I was born and raised in New York and have extensive professional experience across various settings, including schools, non-profits, private practice, addiction and mental health treatment centers. My goal as a therapist is to create a strong therapeutic alliance by building trust and rapport with my client. I believe this is identified as the greatest predictor for change. I obtained my license as a mental health counselor in 2011, and I am a qualified supervisor for interns. I utilize evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, and family systems. Incorporating an individual's creative outlets into the session can be another way to express feelings in a non-verbal way. I like to think outside the Box! I hope to connect with you and be a part of your journey.... April Medici, LMHC QS
