Testimony from some of Dr. April Brown’s former interns:
“I worked under Dr. Brown for my entire clinical cycle and I feel really lucky to have had her as my supervisor. She has so much knowledge in the field and is truly business savvy which is exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for as a supervisee. I knew that private practice was the route I wanted to take right out of grad school and Dr. Brown created an open environment where I was able to learn the ins and outs of private practice in ways that I would have missed out on had I interned at an agency. I’m really grateful for the whole experience!”
~ Nicole Geddie
“Finding a supervisor who will guide you through the internship years is an important task, and I was lucky and glad that I found Dr. Brown who took me as an intern. During supervision time, it is a journey towards growth, and as an intern, I needed a supervisor who could understand both the objective and subjective factors that new beginning counselors will face in their supervision years. Dr. Brown provided guidance on the counseling process and how the counselor interns will be able to be successful in their internship. I do thank you Dr. Brown for sharing her experiences and guiding me during my internship, and I strongly recommend her to any counselor intern who is beginning the internship journey. “
~ Carlos Moreira, LMHC

During, the time I was becoming licensed, there were moves and shifts. Dr. Brown made sure that there was enough physical and emotional space as well as consistent supervision of our work. She provided candid and non-judgmental support as well as ethical direction teaching me to find what was clinically appropriate. Dr. Brown always following up on clinical recommendations.
