April Zapata

I’m a certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes that mental health care should be personal, compassionate, and free of judgment. I take the time to listen and understand what you’re experiencing rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that supports your goals and helps you feel more like yourself again. My goal is for every patient to feel heard, respected, and comfortable being completely honest about what they’re going through.

I believe effective mental health care starts with feeling heard and understood. I take a whole-person approach, considering your symptoms, physical health, experiences, lifestyle, and personal goals when developing your treatment plan. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where we can work together to find an approach that fits you—not simply treat a diagnosis. I view treatment as an ongoing partnership and will regularly reassess your progress and make adjustments when needed.

Your first session is a comfortable, judgment-free opportunity for us to get to know each other and understand what you’re experiencing. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, medical and mental health history, and any current medications. We’ll also talk through treatment options and create an individualized plan that feels appropriate for you.
