About Easter
As a licensed therapist in Texas with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, relationship dynamics, family conflicts, and personal growth.
I bring a compassionate, culturally-informed approach to therapy, with a deep commitment to understanding each person’s unique journey. My expertise spans areas including trauma recovery, communication challenges, self-love, and healing from past relational wounds. I particularly focus on supporting women, young adults, and individuals working through midlife transitions.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner strength. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients address issues like isolation, attachment challenges, codependency, and family of origin dynamics.
I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and genuine care as you move toward healing and personal empowerment.

- “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.”
- “She is great”
- “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”
