Therapeutic Coaching with April Christman

Find strength beyond the overwhelm

Reclaim Your Clarity and Confidence

You’re not falling apart, but something feels… off. You’re doing the things. Showing up. Keeping it together. Pushing through. 

But underneath it all, you’re tired. Disconnected. Unsure. Maybe even a little numb. You might catch yourself thinking, “I don’t know what I want anymore.”

It comes up quietly, sometimes alongside, “I’m just so overwhelmed,” or “I feel like I’ve lost myself.” And when you’ve been holding it together for so long, of course, it makes sense to feel out of touch with yourself.

Real change begins with compassion, not pressure.

In my 15 years as a therapeutic coach, I’ve had the privilege of helping people shift from “just getting by” to truly feeling grounded, purposeful, and whole. Real change doesn’t come from pushing harder … it starts when you finally give yourself permission to pause, feel, and heal.

Common concerns I can help with

I use EMDR and trauma-focused therapy to help you work through trauma and PTSD. Here’s what’s possible:

  • Safely process painful memories.
  • Reduce emotional distress.
  • Support your healing at your own pace.
  • Build coping skills to handle triggers and stress.

I use CBT and motivational interviewing to help you transform your struggles. Here’s what’s possible:

  • Identify and change negative thought patterns.
  • Develop practical tools to manage daily emotions.
  • Explore what motivates you to create positive change.
  • Set achievable goals for mental well-being.

I use relational and person-centered approaches to help you build connection and trust. Here’s what’s possible:

  • Improve how you connect and communicate with others.
  • Build healthier boundaries and deeper trust.
  • Explore your feelings in a safe, non-judgmental space.
  • Learn new skills to resolve conflicts peacefully.

Many people who struggle with substances also have what’s called a “dual diagnosis.” That means they are also dealing with other mental health challenges, like depression, anxiety, or trauma.

My approach combines both strength-based and narrative methods to help you achieve clarity and resilience. Here’s what’s possible:

  • Focus on your strengths to overcome challenges.
  • Understand the story behind your struggles.
  • Develop healthier habits and coping strategies.
  • Receive support tailored to your unique journey.
  • Support for dual diagnosis, treat substance use alongside anxiety, depression, or trauma.

With a background in Christian counseling and holistic care, I’m here to help you find purpose and inner strength. Here’s what’s possible:

  • Integrate your faith and values into healing.
  • Build confidence and a positive self-image.
  • Explore your spiritual path alongside emotional growth.
  • Create balance between mind, body, and spirit.

I use a flexible and personalized counseling approach to help you navigate change and feel confident in your role as a parent. Here’s what’s possible:

  • Navigate changes like becoming a parent or major life shifts
  • Develop strategies for managing stress and relationships
  • Receive support tailored to your family’s needs
  • Build resilience through life’s ups and downs
