APRIL AGRANOFF
M.A. Clinical Mental Health Counseling
Depth Oriented Somatic Therapy
Astrology & Tarot
"It's always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising.
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands,
Each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."
-John Muir
Welcome! My name is April, and I'm a depth oriented somatic therapist, who also works with spiritual development.
What does that mean?
I see you as human, and work with your strengths. Rather than look for "what's wrong" with someone, I approach symptoms with curiosity, looking for the hidden wisdom or unmet need beneath distressing patterns of thought, emotion, and body symptoms. This process often illuminates parts of the self, sometimes younger parts, that need tending and support. I take a trauma-informed approach, working with my clients to find a pace that honors all parts of the self. ​
What does somatic mean? Somatic approaches go beyond rational thoughts, and understand the nervous system's response to stress and trauma, such as fight, flight, and freeze.
​
I'm a Master's Degree Candidate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University. My professional background includes leading trauma-informed yoga groups for women, facilitating abuse intervention groups for both male and female abusers, as well as 10 years in the outdoor industry as a whitewater raft guide and on ski patrol. I am truly passionate about helping individuals navigate their shadows, and step into their full embodied power.
​
I work with a variety of issues, but specialize in mind-body-spirit healing for anxiety, depression, and sexual trauma.
​
Do we have to incorporate astrology and tarot?
Absolutely not. I respect and embrace all spiritual beliefs and non-beliefs.
Astrology and tarot can be incorporated upon request for those who fell called.
Many who desire to explore their psyche find the archetypes and powerful art in tarot and astrology to be supportive, similar to the way people find jungian and art therapy healing.
