April is a lovely individual who cares deeply about her clients and cultivating a skilled and supportive team. Her expertise in both DBT and EMDR makes her our go-to person for consultation and support regarding complex trauma. We highly recommend Emotion Wise Counselling for anyone seeking supportive and non-judgemental counselling supports.

As a fellow counsellor I can highly recommend April and her team at Emotion Wise Counselling. I have sent clients to Emotion Wise and have heard nothing but great things about their experiences with the team there. In particular, I have heard glowing reviews about how helpful the DBT group is and what a great counsellor April is. The team is professional, compassionate and very skilled at what they do.

April at Emotion Wise Counselling is truly fabulous. Her warmth and authenticity shine through, creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone she interacts with. With her deep understanding of trauma and emotion regulation, I have full confidence in referring clients to her and her team, knowing they’ll be in the care of a counsellor who genuinely cares.

April is compassionate, knowledgeable and skilled at getting to the heart of the issue. Her background in working with women using DBT and EMDR has been especially helpful.

I would highly recommend April. I have referred clients to her over the years and have only ever heard good things.

I would not recommend that anyone seek counselling at this location. I saw intern Adriana Leone regarding some difficult trauma from a past relationship that I had not had a chance to deal with due to COVID-19. While Adriana seemed professional at first, she cancelled the therapy in the middle of our third session, stating she "did not think she would be able to understand me." I don't think these people realize the amount of effort it takes to seek help in the first place. To cut things off just when the therapy is beginning struck me as very unprofessional. Additionally, I would like to mention that the quality of their online sessions is very poor, with the image of the practitioner being very pixelated. There was also confusion and poor communication with regards to them billing my insurance. This ate up additional time on my end trying to sort it out with my provider.

April has been helping me work through a series of complex issues for the past few months, and the progress I have made is unbelievable. She is an expert in recognizing the deep causes of the issues and provides a safe, peaceful, and non-judgmental space for her clients. I am forever grateful for her help.

April has done a great done of helping me work though a couple tough issues. She is caring and great at identifying deeper causes. I also really appreciate how she is willing adjust her schedule to fit people in if there are no times that work.
