While it is true that April Brandon uses a variety of therapeutic techniques in her practice, her…read morepreferred methodologies could accurately be described as "Staring Unblinking Into the Camera" and "Long, Awkward Silences." Her sub-specialty training must have included a long seminar on how to turn one's face to stone, as she averages 1-2 facial expressions per hour. When addressing a client's fears and premonitions, April utilizes a somewhat lesser-known tactic called, "just tell them not to worry about it," a method previously discredited by actual therapists on account of it not working. Her humanistic and clearly well-thought out approach to hearing her clients' issues includes key elements like, "not listening while they speak" and "interrupting frequently." Her ability to make clients feel awkward and stupid for not knowing how best to seek counsel from an apathetic wall of granite is borderline impressive. In all seriousness: I spent about 8 sessions with April, and I am worse off for it. She is offensively disengaged from her patients, does not engage with them while they speak, and possesses all the warmth and compassion of driftwood. After those 8 sessions, when I told her I did not wish to reschedule, she admitted to me that she "was going to recommend I'd go with someone else." When she planned to tell me that is something I couldn't hope to guess, but I'm grateful nonetheless that she chose to blatantly waste my time. It genuinely concerns me that April Brandon is tasked with aiding people toward mental wellness, as she is profoundly, ceaselessly, and laughably lousy at it. If you're considering her as a therapist, this is your sign to run screaming in the other direction. Save yourself the frustration, and find a therapist with a discernible pulse.
