“It was very nice meeting Susan. She was very nice, calm, great listener. Did not come to conclusions. Eager to learn about me. When I smiled, she was so happy for me.

Getting to know Susan Sparks
Susan Sparks, is a licensed professional counselor who brings a holistic, trauma-informed lens to therapy, grounded in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. She believes therapy is most effective when it feels safe, compassionate, and collaborative—a space where trust and attunement allow new patterns of connection, insight, and self-understanding to emerge.
Susan works collaboratively with clients to explore how early relational experiences shape present-day challenges, supporting healing at both emotional and physiological levels. Her approach integrates interpersonal psychology, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, EMDR, and ecopsychology, offering a comprehensive mind-body framework for growth and restoration. She helps clients reconnect with their bodies as sources of wisdom and resilience, while also honoring the grounding and restorative role of nature in the healing process.
Susan works with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and complex trauma, ADHD, grief, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and family dynamics, including parenting and co-parenting challenges. She brings a grounded, relational presence to her work, creating a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to live with greater authenticity and wholeness.
In addition to her counseling practice, Susan is a 200-hour certified yoga instructor through the Mount Madonna Institute in California. Her yoga training enriches her clinical work by supporting nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and self-compassion, further bridging the mind-body connection.
She also serves as an adjunct professor and as the Director of Calm Convos at Texas Christian University, where she is passionate about fostering mental health awareness, meaningful dialogue, and community connection.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My strengths as a therapist lie in creating a space where people feel genuinely safe, seen, and understood. I bring a calm, grounded presence and move at a pace that respects each person’s nervous system and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the mind-body connection and help clients notice what their bodies are communicating alongside their thoughts and emotions.
I have a strong ability to build trusting relationships and to listen beneath the surface, helping clients gently explore patterns shaped by past experiences without judgment or pressure to change too quickly. I integrate mindfulness, somatic awareness, and a person-centered approach to support regulation, insight, and meaningful change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy that prioritizes emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and trust. We begin by building awareness and stability, then gently explore patterns in relationships, attachment, and self-protection. Using mindfulness, somatic awareness, parts-based work, and EMDR, I help clients understand how past experiences shape present challenges and support healing at both the emotional and body-based level. Therapy is collaborative, paced to your comfort, and focused on creating lasting change through deeper self-understanding, healthy boundaries, and meaningful connection.
Clients often leave sessions with me feeling more grounded, understood, and connected to themselves. You can expect a space that feels calm, collaborative, and supportive, where your experiences are met with curiosity and compassion.
Over time, many clients gain a deeper awareness of their emotions, patterns, and nervous system responses, along with practical ways to regulate stress and feel more at ease in their bodies. Sessions often support increased self-trust, clarity, and the ability to respond to life’s challenges with greater steadiness and choice. Ultimately, clients take away not just insight, but a felt sense of safety, resilience, and connection that extends beyond the therapy room.
