April Shields, LPC, LPCC

April Shields, LPC, LPCC (Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), creates a compassionate space where people can explore what is holding them back from loving themselves, pursuing meaningful work, and deepening connections with others. She focuses on helping individuals identify obstacles to personal and professional growth and supports them in developing healthier, more positive relationships. Her approach invites self-discovery through empathy and steady encouragement, with the aim that clients feel more supported and confident as they move toward a more passionate life.

Therapy with April is collaborative and tailored to each person's needs; she works alongside clients to clarify their goals and to craft a path that fits their unique circumstances. She meets people where they are and adapts each session to the concerns and pace of the individual, communicating in a non-judgmental and compassionate manner. In addition to conversation-based methods, April incorporates somatic techniques such as guided meditation and breathwork to help integrate emotional and bodily experience.

Her central aim is to guide clients toward greater self-trust, self-compassion, and self-love so they can rely on their own judgment without constant second-guessing or overanalysis. April supports practical steps and internal shifts that allow people to move forward with increased confidence and clarity.
