April Fitzpatrick

April Fitzpatrick, LMHC, is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor who brings eight years of experience to her work with adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. Known as the “Pineapple Lady,” she often returns to the phrase “Make Room for Your Crown” as an encouraging reminder that growth can be both protective and powerful.

April believes people are intrinsically creative, and that creative expression can open new ways of understanding choices, challenges, and inner strengths without judgment. When words feel limited, she may incorporate art-based experiences to support greater awareness and insight, alongside evidence-based practices. Her clinical approach can include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy, helping clients explore patterns, emotions, and the stories they carry about themselves and their lives.

At the heart of her work is a commitment to truth-telling, narrative change, and transformation. She supports clients as they face concerns like negative self-image, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, communication difficulties, and questions of purpose and self-love. April approaches therapy with curiosity and engagement, centering each client’s unique experience while offering creative, practical strategies for moving through life’s seasons with greater clarity and resilience.
