April Fitzpatrick, LMHC

April Fitzpatrick, LMHC, is a Florida-based therapist who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work with adults and young adults struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), she blends talk therapy with creative practices so that people who find words alone limiting can still explore their inner experience through art-making and reflection. She is known affectionately as the Pineapple Lady and often encourages clients to "Make Room for Your Crown" as a reminder of resilience and inherent worth.

Her practice centers on narrative change, truth-telling, and transformation, with attention to racial healing and the many ways people protect themselves - much like a pineapple's spiky exterior. April uses art-informed approaches alongside evidence-based methods to help clients unpack anxiety, manage grief, address negative self-image, and navigate substance use concerns when they arise. She also supports challenges related to communication, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, and cultivating self-love.

April approaches therapy with curiosity, warmth, and a commitment to collaboration. She helps clients name their stories, explore choices without judgment, and discover practical, creative strategies to move through difficult seasons toward clearer purpose and greater self-understanding.
