Testimonials
Dr. April Brown provides excellent services. We were referred to her and had our premarital counseling with her. She is professional, uses evidence based assessment tools and overall does an excellent job.
-The Smiths
My husband and I were lucky enough to attend an intimacy couple’s retreat with Dr. April Brown at Peace Retreat in Costa Rica. She is so knowledgeable, compassionate, understanding and easy to talk to. She gets to the root of any issue and gives you new and helpful tools to use, while creating a path towards positive change. She helped my husband and I understand each other better, and helped us work through 12 years of unresolved issues. I can confidently say that she helped save our marriage. I am truly grateful for all Dr. Brown has done for me and my family.
-Hannah Shopoff
I love my sessions with Dr. April. She is very kind and considerate and makes me feel at home. She counsels in a non- judgmental manner allowing me to remain autonomous in care and decision making. I have been seen by her for a year and a half and I will say that I am a much better person because of her guidance. Highly recommended therapist.
