Dr. April

get in touch

Dr. April Long before Dr. April Brown became known as The Doctor of Intimacy™, she had to discover what intimacy truly meant in her own life.

April learned early how to adapt, achieve, and keep moving forward. She earned a business degree and began building a successful corporate career. But in 1995, when she unexpectedly became a single mother, life took a different turn.

Behind the strength she showed on the outside were feelings of abandonment, betrayal, loneliness, and disconnection. She found herself pulling away from others and, in many ways, from herself.

Through her faith and relationship with her Higher Power, whom she calls God, April began slowing down and asking a question that would ultimately change the direction of her life:

Who is April beneath all the roles she fills for everyone else?

Not simply the mother. The professional. The daughter. Or the person everyone needed her to be.

April, the woman within.

That journey became her introduction to what she would later understand as intimacy with self.

It also led her away from corporate America and into counseling, where she began recognizing something familiar in the individuals and couples she helped: Disconnection.

Couples could love each other and still feel alone. People could be surrounded by others yet feel disconnected from themselves. And intimacy, she realized, was about far more than sex.

Through her personal journey, faith, research, and clinical experience, Dr. April developed a broader approach to intimacy encompassing emotional, communication, physical, spiritual, activities, service, forgiveness, and humor intimacy with intimacy with self at its foundation.

Today, as a Christian Relationship, Sex, and Trauma therapist, Dr. April has helped more than 10,000 individuals and couples and trained more than 50 therapists in principles of intimacy and connection. Her work has grown into Bringing Intimacy Back Podcast, the Improving Intimacy 8 book and workshop series, Personal and Partner Intimacy Assessments, Vacation Counseling Retreats (a Reconnection Experience for Couples), Love Mozaic (a Love Connection for Singles) & her successful intimacy counseling practices. Furthermore, she is happily married and has a strong bond with her faith, family, friends, professional colleagues, & community.

But everything she has built comes back to the lesson she first had to discover for herself: Intimacy isn't simply something we find. It's something we build.

One choice. One conversation. One moment of presence at a time.

And sometimes, finding our way back to each other begins by finding our way back to ourselves.
