Professional statement

April Mollner is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #109123) known for her compassionate, affirming, and deeply human approach to therapy. She works with individuals carrying the weight of trauma, LGBTQ+ youth and adults seeking a space where their full identity is honored, and those in recovery who are ready to rewrite their story. Her clients often describe working with her as a journey toward the "true self" — one grounded in resilience, self-discovery, and meaningful healing.

April's clinical work is rooted in a lifelong commitment to advocacy. Her expertise in Human Sexuality and Gender Studies informs every aspect of her practice, from supporting individuals navigating gender identity and transition, Poly & Ethical Non- Monogamy with couples and adults exploring their sexuality in an affirming, nonjudgmental space. She specializes in Trauma, addiction and recovery, and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy. Drawing on a blend of evidence-based modalities — including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Strength-Based, and Solution-Focused approaches — to meet each client where they are and tailor care to their unique needs.

Her approach centers on the belief that life stories saturated in trauma can be reshaped through lived experience and personal resilience. April bridges the gap between pain and possibility by honoring her clients' histories while helping them build new beginnings — whether that means developing coping skills, processing past wounds, or stepping into a more authentic sense of self.

April currently accepts new clients through teletherapy in her group private practice, and continues her ongoing work in Human Sexuality, Gender Studies, Harm Reduction, and Trauma-Informed Care.
