It can take work and lots of practice to find the key to balance in your life. I personally find my balance through ongoing self-care, self-reflection, and movement.

I have been in the counseling field for over a decade starting first in Forensic Counseling as an intern and spending 10 years in community mental health. I am now an owner of a private practice where I provide individual therapy ages 18+. My practice is in Wisconsin and offer telehealth to residents in Colorado, Florida, and Utah.

April Wilson

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


I'm a licensed therapist and social worker who supports teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and neurodivergence.

I'm crisis-trained, LGBTQIA-affirming, and bring both warmth and practicality to my work. I draw from DBT, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to help my clients feel grounded, empowered, and in charge of their own story.

I earned my degrees at the University of Utah and completed my clinical training at Huntsman Mental Health Institute and the University of Utah Hospital, where I worked with clients working through complex physical and mental health conditions. I have particular experience working with depression, anxiety, Autism and ADHD, behavioral concerns, chronic mental health conditions, and clients facing self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
