April Chapel

I specialize in helping Christian women heal from trauma, narcissistic abuse, emotionally abusive relationships, spiritual abuse, low self-worth, and rejection.

My approach integrates Christian faith with evidence-based counseling, including spiritually informed CBT and DBT principles.

Areas of focus include:

• Depression and anxiety
• Relationship difficulties and trauma
• Narcissistic and emotional abuse
• Rejection and abandonment wounds
• Low self-esteem and shame
• Codependency and people-pleasing
• Trauma bonds and unhealthy attachment
• Boundaries and assertiveness
• Spiritual abuse/cult involvement
• Divorce and relationship recovery
• Stress and emotional overwhelm
• Identity and self-worth
• Christian faith and emotional healing

My practice is fully virtual, serving clients throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Nevada. I begin sessions with prayer and include biblical integration, practical skills, and therapy worksheets to support growth between sessions.

Individual therapy only.

My counseling is designed for women who want both clinical support and a Christian perspective as they work through painful relationships, rejection, anxiety, depression, trauma-related patterns, and difficulties with boundaries and self-worth.

I use Spiritually-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to evaluate thoughts and beliefs for truth, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to accept unchanging realities, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you heal wounded parts of yourself. The goal is to build a secure, Christ-centered identity that aligns with truth.

My therapy is very goal-directed. Clients should expect to practice therapy skills between sessions. I provide a safe, therapeutic environment to work through mental health concerns. I am compassionate but direct, and I love helping clients grow in grace. Judgment and criticism are avoided. Areas of focus include codependency, forgiveness, self-worth, relationship loss, divorce recovery, and crises of faith.
