About April Riley

I am a social worker licensed in Florida with 28 years of professional work experience. I have worked with clients coping with a variety of issues, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, major illness, addictions, and grief and loss. I worked extensively with veterans and am familiar with the unique challenges they face. Depending on the needs and concerns of the client, I utilize various approaches to treatment, including motivational, solution-focused, rational emotive behavioral (REBT), cognitive behavioral (CBT), and neuro-linguistic changework (NLP).
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you in your journey.
