April Bolin , LCSW

April Bolin is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience providing therapy in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of California Berkeley and her LCSW credential - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - which authorizes her to practice clinical therapy. Over the course of her career she has worked with a broad spectrum of people coping with life transitions, relationship strains, mood concerns, and trauma.

April has extensive experience supporting LGBTQIA individuals and people recovering from abuse and systemic harms, as well as those facing depression and deep feelings of emptiness. Her clinical background includes work in partial hospitalization programs, where she found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to be particularly useful for helping people recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping strategies.

She also completed training at the Chaplaincy Institute's Interfaith Seminary and integrates a psycho-spiritual perspective when clients seek help with grief, caregiver exhaustion, or recovery from religious harm. April describes herself as spiritual but not religious and respects diverse faith traditions that support human flourishing. She values the collaborative, reflective moments in therapy that lead to new insights and sustained change, and she encourages patience and gentle commitment to the ongoing work of personal growth.
