April Elsasser, MA, LPCC
Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by the human mind and formation of personalities. As a child I found myself naturally curious about people around me. "Why are people the way that they are?" I would constantly ask myself.
​
My pursuit in the mental health field led me to keep asking questions. I feel grateful to be in a career where I am constantly learning. I take my love for therapy outside of session by networking and collaborating with colleagues, reading text, and absorbing any therapy-related media I can.
My clients have taught me so much throughout the years. I tell them often, I am the lucky one. Throughout my work I value growth, rest, empowerment, and community. I hope to consistently be challenged in my position while guiding others in discovering the answers within themselves.
