Business Experience
Of my 18 years as a licensed therapist, the past 11 years have been spent as a business owner as well.
I launched my private practice, Decision Point Therapy, in 2014 in Maryland. My practice has been profitable from the start.
I’ve owned and managed it, while helping hundreds of couples and families save and transform their relationships in the Washington, D.C. area and in Virginia Beach, VA. This has included many military families.

North Carolina born and raised. Entrepreneur. Therapist. Dog mom. Nerd. Amateur Stoic philosopher. Runner. Yogi. Violinist. Whiskey drinker. Deep passion for psychology and helping others.

Launching Founders Psych
I’m April McDowell, Ph.D., LMFT, the Founder of Founders Psych.
I launched Founders Psych after two realizations…
One, I have a strong passion for entrepreneurship and wanted to add value to fellow business owners by contributing my knowledge and expertise.
Two, I realized that there is a huge lack of services on the market that help entrepreneurs navigate the psychological and relationship challenges of starting and growing a business. I’m eager to change that!
