It shouldn't feel this hard.

You're here because something isn't working.

Maybe you're watching your teen struggling with depression, anxiety, or a total lack of motivation.

Or maybe you're trying to recover from divorce, a major life change, or a relationship where you're doing all the work.

You need a space where you can let go of the life you thought you'd have, and start building one that actually fits.

At Kindred Counseling in Blaine, MN, offering in-person and virtual therapy. I specialize in teens who are hurting in ways that are hard to name, divorce recovery, menopause support, major life changes, and relationship counseling when your partner won't come to therapy. I take a down-to-earth, gently honest approach to help you let go of what life was supposed to look like, and build something that actually fits.

April Williamson, MA, LMFT

Hi, I’m April,

I help you identify the thought patterns, perspectives, and behaviors that keep leading you back to the same place, and guide you through changing them. Together, we’ll work toward a version of your life that feels different from the one that brought you to my door.

I don’t know about you, but when I need to talk to someone about what’s going on, I don’t want a therapist who tells me to breathe deep or asks, “What feeling is showing up for you right now?” I’m someone who will talk to you like a real person and mean it. Both tears and laughter are welcome here.

Specialties

Divorce Recovery

The papers are signed, but the loss, exhaustion, and uncertainty are still there. I’ll help you work through what’s still challenging for you so you can start rebuilding life the way you want it. {Learn More}

Therapy For Teens

Teens often carry more than they will say, and finding the right space to talk about it is important. I help with managing the stress of everyday life, building self-esteem, and developing the resilience to handle what comes after this. {Learn More}

Menopause Support

Menopause can leave you feeling like a stranger in your own body, irritable, anxious, and disconnected from the relationships you hold the closest. I help you sort through what’s happening so you can feel like you are more than just surviving. {Learn More}

Individual Relationship Counseling

You don’t have to wait for your partner to be ready, before you get help with your relationship. I work with you to improve communication, set boundaries to protect you, and figure out what you need from your relationship. {Learn More}

Navigating Life Changes

When the world around you shifts, it can feel like the old version of yourself went with it. I help you make sense of where you are now and find a path forward that feels like yours. {Learn More}

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.
