About Dr. April McLean

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here.

I’m Dr. April McLean, a licensed psychologist and addiction specialist with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and purpose.

Education & Credentials

I earned my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) from the University of Denver Graduate School of Professional Psychology in 2002, after completing my Master of Arts (M.A.) there in 2000 and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from Eastern Connecticut State University in 1998.

I am:

·         A licensed psychologist in Connecticut (#2946), Florida (PY10482), and New York (#026972)

·         A licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CT #899)

·         Authorized to practice telepsychology in 40+ states through PSYPACT (APIT #8073)

Clinical Experience & Approach

I’ve worked in a wide range of settings—from nonprofit and state agencies to private practice—and with children, adolescents, and adults. My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I meet you where you are, help clarify what’s going on beneath the surface, and work with you to make meaningful, lasting change.

My therapy approaches include:

·         Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

·         Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma and PTSD

·         Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

·         Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

·         Solution-Focused and Strengths-Based Therapy

·         Motivational Interviewing

Specialties:

·         Addiction & Recovery

·         Anxiety and Depression

·         Trauma & PTSD

·         Life Transitions

·         Stress and Burnout

·         ADHD

I’m especially passionate about helping people who are high-functioning but overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, or working through past trauma or hurt.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Starting therapy can feel intimidating. I aim to create a space that feels comfortable, inclusive, and grounded in mutual respect. Therapy with me is a relationship—one built on genuine, caring interaction and trust. I help you explore not just what’s happening, but why, and how to move forward in a sustainable way.

Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, current stress, or looking for support in recovery, I’m here to help.

Flexible, Ongoing Support

Because I hold licensure in multiple states and practice under PSYPACT, I can continue working with you even if you relocate, go to college, or travel frequently. Continuity of care matters—and therapy doesn’t have to stop when life shifts.
