Client Testimonials
I am really happy with the experience I have had working with April. April actually listened to my concerns and struggles and validated my feelings; which hasn’t been the experience I have had with my other providers. April took the time to explain available treatment strategies, answered my questions, and explained the process moving forward. I walked away feeling confident in my decision to contact the team at Head Well and excited to start treatment.
I am so grateful to have found April when I did. I receive perspective & support that I’m learning to believe I deserve with her help.
April is amazing. I felt comfortable the whole time talking to her. She’s very intuitive, empathetic, and understanding. Great communication and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Very friendly and personable. Felt heard instead of just being asked a couple broad questions.
April has been fantastic at listening to my needs and responding with care and confidence in our next steps. She uses data from surveys I take before each session to drive our conversation and see specifically how I am improving or not in certain areas of my mental health. I love this method because it allows us a clear picture of what is working and what isn’t working that isn’t subjective to how I’m feeling that day. I would recommend her to anyone seeking help from a psychiatrist!
