Therapists in Leona Valley, CA

I believe that the power of vulnerability is one of our greatest strengths and ultimately can provide us with a deeper sense of self, security, comfort, and more compassionate towards one another. Coming from a strength-based form of doing therapy and providing support to others, I work to provide my clients with a sense of validation and comfort. As a cis male that identifies as Latinx and as a proud member of the LGBTQIA community, I am able to hold the experience of living in many diverse, cross-cultural emotional experiences that we sometimes may not even know how to begin to understand.

My name is April Hayes and I am a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with a wide range of clients and guide them in improving their strengths on various issues. When I'm not providing therapy, I enjoy spending time with my culturally diverse and active family.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist who has more than 20 years experience, I strive to help my clients face their struggles, develop a strong sense of self and create healthy relationships in their families and marriages.

Life can have difficult moments. Sometimes, those moments add up and can lead to difficult thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that feel unmanageable. When our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors feel unmanageable, it can be difficult to get our needs met. When our needs go unmet in relationship, work, and life, it can lead to deep pain and suffering. My philosophy on healing involves exploring the source of our challenges and resolving our unmet needs. Therapy can provide a space for you to identify and explore your unmet needs while learning tools to empower you to get your needs met in healthful and healing ways.

My mission is to empower you to achieve your most fulfilling life. I provide client-centered & trauma-informed services to adults, adolescents, couples, families & teams. If you are struggling with sadness, worry, anger, intrusive thoughts, loneliness, chronic pain, career or work/life balance issues, or family or relational challenges, I can provide support. Our work together will be collaborative & will focus on achieving your individual goals. You will develop further awareness of your barriers & strengths, & learn & rehearse new skills toward increasing satisfaction, success, & connection with yourself and others.
