Therapy In Blaine And Across Minnesota

There's still hope in the mess.

Compassionate, real-talk therapy for teens, divorce recovery, major life changes and individuals in relationships.

It shouldn’t feel this hard.

You're tired of feeling uncertain, with no clear path forward.

You feel like you've lost something, and can't get it back.

You're overwhelmed and exhausted from trying to pretend that everything is okay, when it's clearly not.

Whether you are watching someone you love spiral, picking up the pieces from a major change, or facing a new reality that leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself, the feeling is the same. You are stuck, grieving the life you thought you'd have, while trying to survive the one you're currently in.

Stop pretending that you have it all together.

You need a space where you can be completely honest.

At Kindred Counseling in Blaine, MN, I take a down-to-earth, realistic approach to help you let go of the picture you had of your life, so we can start building a new one that is just as good.

April Williamson, MA, LMFT

Hi, I’m April,

First, I just wanted to say…

I am so glad you are here.

Clients come to me when they are feeling overwhelmed, afraid, lost and sometimes lonely. Because clients come in struggling, my approach is deeply empathetic, and gently honest.

Our work together will be collaborative, I am not one of those therapists that sit in complete silence for 50 minutes. I do hold space for you when something big comes up, and I also provide psychoeducation and tools when you want to work on things outside of session.

Therapy isn’t meant to always be serious, I have a well-rounded sense of humor, and welcome laughable moments just as much as serious ones.

You won’t find me getting wrapped up in theories and therapy terms, I talk like a regular person. I believe that authentic conversations are important to build trust.

I am highly attuned to my clients, meaning I notice the subtle shifts in your energy and body language, and there will not be a doubt in your mind that I care about you, and your progress. I let clients take the lead in their progress, and if I suggest out-of-session homework, it is always optional.

Testimonials

I had been let go from several jobs when I came to see April. She helped me figure out what I wanted to do next. Through talking to her I was able to rebuild my self-esteem, and she helped me find the courage to apply for another job. I have been at my new job for over a year now.

I sought counseling because my partner was drinking too much, and I was super resentful. April helped me figure out what is best for me, and I was able to set some boundaries in my relationship.

I started going to therapy after my husband refused to try couples counseling. April helped me see what I wanted to change in my marriage, and encouraged me to speak up to my partner. I’m thankful for her guidance in helping me find my voice.

When I first came to see April, I had already decided I wanted to end my relationship and find my own place. She helped me find the courage to do what I set out to do and guided me through questions I didn’t know how to answer. I’m not sure I would’ve left without her support.

Having a baby really changed how I saw myself. It was supposed to be a happy time, but my relationship was struggling, I was overwhelmed by everyone’s needs, and I just needed a place to say the things I couldn’t say to my family or friends. April listened and helped me find my way back to myself.
