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.

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.
