About The Healing Quest LLC
A Trauma Informed Therapy Practice Offering Multi State Telehealth Care
The Healing Quest LLC was born out of a vision that healing is not linear. It is a lifelong journey, often winding, but always worth pursuing. The practice originated in Alaska on January 11, 2021, under the name Healing Talks LLC. It began as a solo venture, created by April McElhenny, LCSW, with the goal of offering trauma informed, deeply compassionate therapy during a time of global uncertainty and rapid personal change.
What began as a single location offering has naturally grown into a trauma informed therapy practice providing multi state telehealth therapy to clients in Alaska and licensed states including Washington and Texas.
Founded at the height of the COVID 19 pandemic and shaped by the unique challenges of frequent military moves, the practice evolved to meet clients wherever they were, both literally and emotionally. As a solo therapist navigating the world of business without formal training but with a strong family lineage of entrepreneurial spirit, April built her practice through grit, heart, and a deep belief in the transformative power of therapy.
As the practice expanded across state lines, April obtained multiple licenses to serve clients in various locations, many of whom were navigating major transitions, isolation, or difficulty accessing care. This growth reinforced a commitment to flexibility, accessibility, and client centered care through telehealth services.
Over time, a new name was needed to better reflect the evolving purpose and spirit of the work. The Healing Quest LLC represents not just the services offered, but the deeper meaning behind them. The idea that therapy is a personal quest for healing, growth, and self understanding.
Today, The Healing Quest LLC continues to serve individuals and families with the same heart and mission it started with, while thoughtfully planning for future growth as a group practice.
