Hi, I’m April Forella, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Palm City, Florida. I help women who feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns from the past. The pressure to hold everything together never really turns off. On the outside, life may look fine, but inside there’s exhaustion, self-doubt, and a sense of never being “enough.” If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. You're ready to move beyond the past and do the deeper work to a life that actually feels good to live.

Clients often come to me when they're struggling with anxiety, childhood trauma and relationship wounds. My approach is warm, depth-oriented, and trauma-informed. EMDR therapy allows us to go beyond talking about what’s wrong and get to the root of it—helping your mind and body finally integrate what happened.

With warmth, empathy, and deep understanding, I walk alongside my clients as they navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re facing anxiety, childhood trauma, or unresolved pain, I provide a safe, faith-informed space to explore healing and growth. Take the first step toward greater peace and resilience by scheduling a free consultation call.

I work with women who look like they have it all together—but inside, they're tired, anxious, and overwhelmed. My clients often struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and carrying the weight of past experiences. Through EMDR therapy, we work to calm your nervous system, heal emotional pain, and help you finally feel like you can exhale.
