April N. Martin, MSW, LCSW-C
I'm April, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C).
My focus is to offer a safe, therapeutic space for individuals (15+) seeking to alleviate stress, anxiety, and navigate life transitions (i.e. "adulting," educational and career decisions, general life balance, relationships, motherhood, etc.). Additionally, I specialize in working with women and black/bipoc teens and adults.
I have nearly 10 years of clinical experience working in various mental health settings, including school-based, residential, and outpatient.
I am...
...a Maryland native and received my Bachelor's in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and my Master's in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. I am licensed to provide teletherapy to clients in the state of Maryland.
Maybe you...
...are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, nervous about the next step, or having trouble adjusting to pending or present changes. Perhaps you are having a hard time managing life and its endless responsibilities, and doubting yourself in the process, and simply in need of a safe place to figure it all out.
Oftentimes...
We are bombarded with societal pressures to manage, remain strong, be successful, and balance many roles, while mental wellness takes a backseat. Although therapy may sound nice, many people, particularly black/bipoc individuals, may be concerned wondering if the person you talk to is able to provide culturally-competent services. Talking about mental health can already be difficult enough without the stress of worrying if your therapist "gets it."
My goal in therapy...
...is to offer a safe, judgement-free clinical environment while genuinely investing in YOUR therapeutic goals. I offer holistic, strength-based, individually-tailored therapy that incorporates an acceptance and solution-focused approach. I strive to help each client explore and discover how to become the healthiest, happiest, most balanced version of themselves.
Additionally...
I offer Christian faith-based services upon request.
