Hello, my name is Easter Spates. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor with over 20 years of experience providing counseling and supportive services to individuals, families, children and adolescents. I am a graduate of Prairie View A&M University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and earned my Master’s in Counseling and Guidance. My goal in the therapeutic process is to engage and guide individuals to evoke the specific "change" you need to experience. My focus is to ensure that the counseling experience is ordered and set up for you to feel pleased and invigorated throughout the process.
I see myself as a vehicle for the client’s change. Assisting you to make sense of your experiences and seeing better patterns. I would describe my therapeutic style as warm and engaging. I consider myself as leveled headed, balanced, and non-judgmental.
I do understand that making the decision to seek counseling can be overwhelming but by doing so you have begun the journey. Know that I am here to be a guiding light with you through each step of the way.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Truly Amazing and understanding
Easter Spades is excellent therapist! She is quick to response and is truly committed to listening to each patient from an individual perspective.
Wonderful therapist. She has helped me so much and I would highly recommend Easter as a therapist
I have been genuinely and consistently surprised by her knowledge, expertise, and engagement throughout my therapy so far. I wasn’t sure how effective it would be since I’m doing it online, and have never really believed that therapy could be very helpful in general, but I was completely wrong. Even in the short period of time that I’ve been undergoing therapy with Easter Spates, she has helped me identify and begin to overcome a number of lifelong issues that I was never able to understand on my own. She provides a lot of clear and direct support and a really comfortable environment that makes it easy to open up, which has also been helpful to me. My thoughts about therapy have changed significantly during the short time that she’s been helping me, and I will recommend she and BetterHelp to others whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Easter responds in a prompt manner and even on things that don’t require a response. She makes me feel empowered and heard. I have full confidence that with her help, I will be able to make changes in my life that will have a direct impact on my daily mood.
Mrs.Spates is amazing, she is prompt, friendly and provided a listening ear during our first session. Looking forward to more sessions with her.
Easter is responsive and offers feedback on ways to improve outcomes. I enjoy my sessions each time.
Beginning in this stage of therapy I’m thankful that I was connected to Easter. She is easy to talk to and I don’t feel pressured into talking about uncomfortable situation until I’m ready. That’s exactly what I needed.
Such a lovely individual and very intelligent
She was very kind and helpful. She provided worksheets and activities that dove deeper into things, as well as provide further information. She is very wonderful and knowledgeable.
I’ve been in therapy many times before but Ms. Spates is the first to respond no matter the time or day when I need someone to talk a situation out with.
She’s very welcoming and helpful.
