Take a Look Inside...
Hi, I’m April Snow, LMFT...
A psychotherapist, consultant, and author in California inspiring Sensitive Therapists to think outside the box to create sustainable practices.
During the 15 years before becoming a therapist, I held various managerial roles where my specialty was creating systems during times of growth and finding organization amidst the chaos.
I've created more schedules than I can count, often managing 30-50 people at a time.
My most recent position was as the administrative manager for a quickly growing non-profit counseling center.
I now apply my innate organizational skills and acquired business savvy to help overwhelmed therapists create systems and ease in their practices.
I created this course because...
When I first became a therapist I arranged my schedule based on what everyone else was doing. I saw most of my clients in the evenings or when it was convenient for them and crammed in sessions back-to-back.
The result? I was overstimulated, struggled to get notes done, and began to feel resentful of this work that I love. If it wasn't for my strong organizational skills, I probably would have got overwhelmed and burned out as I saw happen to many of my peers.
Slowly, I began to realize that there was another way and began to honor my needs for downtime between sessions and only working 12-6pm a few days per week.
I created this course so you could skip all the trial and error that I went through and get straight to creating a balanced, supportive schedule based on your own needs - not what anyone else is doing.
When you create an intentional and predictable schedule using the tools in this course, so much becomes possible:
(1) You'll feel more prepared and present in your sessions.
(2) Have more mental energy to get notes done.
(3) Experience peace of mind knowing all the important/essential tasks are not only accounted for, but you have time in your calendar to get everything done.
(4) Have a routine built around your unique needs with fewer decisions to agonize over.
(5) Find it easier to hold boundaries and stick to your preferred client availability.
(6) Spend less time decompressing and more self-care time enjoying your evenings and weekends.

This is the perfect time to take this course! It's so much easier to build your schedule from scratch rather than moving existing clients and commitments around.

The course could help in two ways: reflect back on what wasn't working in your previous job's schedule and help you start your next position with more intention to prevent burnout.
