April Hayes, M.A.
I am so excited to work with you and explore ways to guide you through the noise of our sometimes bewildering lives. By slowing down and checking assumptions (all assumptions!) one can see obstacles more clearly. Although you may not want to trust in yourself yet, you do have the power to make change. We all do!
At the root of my approach is the understanding that our culture needs help, not you. Many of your thoughts and behaviors are a product of living in a dysfunctional culture, and when we start from there, you will see it’s not your fault and you’re not alone. I do not aim to dismiss your behaviors or play them off as, "Oh it’s just culture’s fault”, I aim to expose Truth with you and help you see what is, and take action from that place. There is always a transpersonal undertone in what I offer you, and our exploration will consist of breaking down the truth behind your thoughts and beliefs, which will gradually lead to innate peace and wholeness.
Our time will be a practice of you feeling heard, seen, and understood, therefore teaching you how to hear, see, and understand yourself and others. Through a holistic lens, focused dialogue, and wonder, we will explore you, and what you have to offer yourself and others. I look forward to getting started!
My Focus:
1:1 Relationship guidance- traditional or queer
Communication/dialogue skill building and exploration
Transpersonal and existential awareness and teaching
Meditation and slow movement guidance and teaching
