April Galligan

April Galligan is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist, holding credentials as an LCSW and IMH-E mentor. She has recognized the profound impact that recent years have had on children, navigating through significant losses and adapting to an environment filled with caution, grief, and anxiety. Many of the children she works with are facing challenges in their social-emotional development, struggling to connect with peers, siblings, and even parents. These young individuals often express feelings of worry, fear of separation from their parents, and difficulty sleeping due to their heightened emotional states. The parents who reach out to April are looking for insights into their children's behaviors and ways to support their emotional well-being. With a focus on collaborative healing, April fosters a supportive environment where both parents and children can openly discuss difficult emotions. She understands that we are living in unprecedented times, filled with big feelings and stress that affect everyone, especially children. By working together, families can find a safe space to talk and play, nurturing the healing process necessary after such challenging experiences. April is committed to partnering with families to help children navigate their feelings, aiming to provide them with the time and space needed to reflect on their experiences and to foster their emotional recovery.
