I help people with depression, anxiety, trauma, and loneliness, as well as those experiencing stressful situations like dating, relationship problems, work issues, grief, and life transitions like going to college, marriage, divorce, and retirement. I also specialize in working with people who have trouble sleeping, losing weight, chronic pain, quitting smoking/vaping, and adjusting to medical illnesses like cancer, diabetes, and dementia. Additionally, I help couples who want to improve their communication skills, resolve conflicts, and increase the quality of their relationship.

Hi there—I’m so glad you’re here. Life has thrown me my share of curveballs: childhood trauma, family struggles with addiction, deep losses, and the constant upheaval of moves and changing homes. Those experiences taught me what it feels like to question your worth—and how powerful it is to reclaim it.

Since 2022, I’ve been walking alongside people who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply trying to make sense of being human in a complicated world. As an EMDR-certified and EFT-trained therapist, I love helping clients uncover the roots of their pain and build the skills to heal and thrive. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and always centered on you—your story, your goals, your pace.

I work with teens and adults specializing in complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma related mental health issues. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about what therapy might offer, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want—with compassion, curiosity, and practical tools for lasting change.

April Quatrine

Therapist

Many adults come to therapy wondering, "What's wrong with me?" I believe a more helpful question is, "What has shaped my experience, and what makes sense about the way I think, feel, and respond?" Lasting change begins with understanding yourself—not fixing yourself.

I have a special passion for working with neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD, autism, and AuDHD, as well as adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Whether you've spent years masking, feeling misunderstood, or believing you simply needed to "try harder," therapy can be a place to better understand yourself with curiosity and compassion instead of self-criticism.

I earned my Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and bring over 10 years of clinical experience supporting adults with a wide range of mental health challenges, including serious mental illness (SMI), trauma, anxiety, and depression. These experiences have strengthened my belief that healing happens in relationships where people feel genuinely seen, respected, and accepted without judgment.

My goal is to help you understand how your mind, emotions, nervous system, and experiences shape the way you move through the world so we can build practical strategies that fit your life—not someone else's expectations. I believe therapy isn't about becoming a different person; it's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can live more authentically, navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Mesa

Searching for couples therapists in Mesa starts with finding someone trained to work with the relationship, not just each partner as an individual. Couples therapy, marriage counseling in Mesa, AZ, and relationship counseling can support partners working on communication, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific couples training, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy in their profiles.

In Mesa, finding one therapist who works for both partners often means balancing location, appointment times, and session format. Some couples may prefer an office near home, work, or nearby East Valley areas, while others may find virtual sessions easier to fit into two schedules. As you compare options for couples counseling in Mesa, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for both partners, and provides a brief initial consultation to discuss fit. Therapist bios can also show how they structure sessions and how they approach communication, conflict, and shared goals.

Couples therapy in Mesa can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to find a couples therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and has availability for new clients.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
