April Jones, MSW, LSW

I know first hand how difficult it is to be vulnerable but I believe in creating a safe space through rapport building, empowerment, collaboration, appreciating the silence and transparency. I am a lover of life, a wife, mom, grandma, and dog mom. I love traveling, and reading. Healing is not linear, but full of twists and turns; let's conquer it together.

Courtney Altherr, LMHCA

Hi, I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA), and I’ve been practicing under supervision since 2023. I work with teens and adults, and I’m especially passionate about helping people navigate trauma, build self-esteem, and heal from domestic violence. I also support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and relationship challenges.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly seen and heard. I take a laid-back, down-to-earth approach, and I believe the best therapy happens through real, honest conversation. I want you to feel comfortable showing up just as you are, and I’ll meet you there with honesty, compassion, and care.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. You're the expert on your life—I’m here to walk alongside you, support you, and empower you to grow in the direction you want to go. I offer in-person and telehealth sessions to meet your comfort and accessibility needs. In-person visits will be located at the Kokomo office.
