April Bolin, LCSW

April Bolin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 25 years of professional experience supporting people through life transitions, relationship struggles, and mental health challenges. She has worked extensively with the LGBTQIA community, survivors of abuse and trauma, and individuals facing depression or a sense of emptiness. April emphasizes practical, evidence-informed strategies while respecting each person’s unique background and values.

Her clinical work has included roles in more intensive care settings, where she saw the value of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for helping people reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier coping patterns when stressors feel overwhelming. April also blends a psycho-spiritual perspective for those seeking support around grief, caregiver exhaustion, or recovery from religious dogma; she identifies as spiritual but not religious and honors diverse faith traditions and worldviews.

April believes that therapists who have faced and worked through their own struggles are better positioned to guide others with authenticity and compassion. She finds deep professional satisfaction in the moments of insight that spark lasting change, and she encourages patience and self-compassion in the often gradual process of personal growth. As she often cites, “Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground.”
