TESTIMONIALS |
......These tributes are from past clients who when they began treatment were similar to caterpillars with their limited perspective and downtrodden body language. They were depressed and suffering.
......When they terminated treatment they had undergone a metamorphosis in their thinking, doing and learned the difference between being selfish and self loving. Like the butterfly, they are now winged, empowered with a new perspective, feel their freedom to make healthy choices and soar on the winds of change. |

“When I first met Shoshanna I was scared, confused and headed for a nervous breakdown. The night when I left her office after our first session it was as if the Almighty heard my prayers to help me and give me strength to carry on. I will always be grateful to her for her wisdom, love and informative ways of coping with life.” |

"Some people have to try lots of therapists before they find someone they click with and trust. I was lucky to find Shoshannaa at my first time in treatment. I feel comfortable with her and would not miss a session for anything. I think she's the bomb. I have met my goals of stopping smoking, have lost weight and feel really good about myself.” |

“Today I feel free and take better care of myself. Shoshanna taught me how to bring balance into my busy lifestyle and stop the enmeshed relationships that drained me. For all who feel guilty when you give to yourself I would recommend therapy with Shoshanna. You too deserve new understanding about yourself so you can stop self defeating behaviors.” |

“ My name is David, and I’ve been a client of Shoshanna April’s for a long time. I’ve suffered from major bouts of depression for over 23 years. This note is to offer an enthusiastic recommendation to try Shoshanna as your counseling professional, or life coach. Shoshanna is a true professional, who is enthusiastic about her craft. She comes with a wide variety of skills, applicable to many life situations. She has assisted me through family crisis, coached me to professional growth, assisted me and my wife with marriage difficulties, and been with me through hospitalizations due to my depression. With Shoshanna’s guidance, I’ve confidently managed a successful major career change, and my marriage of 16 years is still going well. I credit Shoshanna for many of my life’s blessings.
Shoshanna operates from a spiritual base that is a terrific match for anyone of any faith. She consistently searches for new tools and information to benefit a wide variety of people with life’s challenges. I’ve worked with her one-to-one, in a couples setting, and in group settings of single, or mixed genders. Shoshanna brings humor, love and warmth to all her sessions. I’ve also noted that everyone in her group sessions has a deep appreciation for her drive and commitment. She will try hard to excel for you, and this makes you want to do the same for her.
One thing Shoshanna is not; she is not an enabler of unproductive behavior. Frequently, she will challenge you with questions and comments you don’t want to hear. These challenges don’t feel good at the time, but it’s these tough challenges that will drive you to improved personal transformation. Shoshanna has a unique ability to drill down personal issues to the root cause and a gifted insight to drive your personal change to productive results.
Shoshanna’s true professionalism is best expressed when she suggests her services might not be needed any further. Shoshanna can recognize when your growth has reached a point, when you may not need to see her any further. She has the wisdom to know when you are able to fly on your own for a while. This sends a message to me that she is not in this business for herself, but she is truly in it for your benefit.
My bouts of depressions come and go, but I continue to see Shoshanna through good times and bad with varying frequency. She always has a unique perspective that I benefit from. I trust her, and I give her my highest recommendation. This is not a guarantee Shoshanna is the best person for you. Counseling is like buying shoes, and you have to choose the pair that fits you best. I strongly suggest giving her “a test drive” for a least a couple of sessions to see if she is a good fit for you.
Good luck with your quest, and I hope you experience all the blessings I have.
