April Dupree,
Owner/Founder

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor

April Dupree is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). She provides an eclectic approach technique while assuring that her therapeutic techniques are what best suit the client. While specializing in counseling for depression, anxiety, life transitions, domestic violence, sexual issues, self-esteem, suicidal ideation and previous suicide attempts, PTSD, and more, she primarily uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and as a trained Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist, she is also able to help individuals impacted by trauma in their lives. April believes that most clients' issues stem from some sort of trauma in their life.

She believes when given proper guidance, people can become more capable of drawing out their own strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling and happy lives.

April is the proud owner of Butterfly Counseling, PLLC.

Butterfly Counseling, PLLC started in 2021 and is named in memory of April's mother. Butterfly Counseling officially opened in January 2022. Butterfly Counseling represents the transition of one's life as a butterfly transitions from a caterpillar to a free flying butterfly.

Austin Andrews

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate

Austin looks forward to working with clients.  With a background in Psychology, Social Work, and trauma-informed trainings he has found that there are many different paths to reach a point of healing and what Maslow might call "self-actualization." He understands that the idea of therapy can be daunting if not yet experienced, or maybe you have and it went poorly, and maybe you're just looking to engage with yourself in a new way. Through the use of art therapy techniques, sand tray therapy techniques, play therapy techniques, and traditional talk therapy his clients can explore underlying anxieties and worries, experiences (traumatic and non-traumatic), and behaviors that you feel keep you from moving forward. 

Austin offers therapy services to ages 8+ years of age.  His primary focus is on individual therapy, however, he has availability to work with families and couples as well.
