“Help People, Help People.”
As the founder of Butterfly Counseling and a Qualified Supervisor (LCMHC-QS), I stand firmly behind this mission. My career is rooted in the belief that when we support the healer, we strengthen the entire community.
I look forward to every opportunity to expand this mission—not just through direct therapy, but through the mentorship and clinical supervision of the next generation of counselors. By connecting professionals to their purpose and clients to their path of healing, we serve those in need far beyond the therapy room.
Butterfly Counseling was founded in May of 2021 by April Sunshine Dupree, M.A., LCMHC.
The name, Butterfly Counseling, was lovingly chosen in honor of her late mother, whom regularly visits April in the form of yellow butterflies.
My journey in the mental health field began in 2017. Since my early days as an intern and through becoming licensed in 2018, I have dedicated nearly a decade to supporting the emotional well-being of our community.
After years of successfully founding and managing a group practice, I have transitioned into a season of 'renewed focus.' Today, I combine my extensive clinical experience with my role as an LCMHC-QS (Qualified Supervisor) to provide both high-level therapy for my clients and dedicated mentorship for the next generation of counselors.
