Megan Parks DuBose

I am a career counselor, therapist, and advocate for neurodivergent women and queer folks. I am passionate about helping autistic and ADHDers embrace their strengths while addressing their unique realities in a world that caterers to neurotypical experiences. I feel called to help women identify their unique strengths, break free from painful patterns, and move toward fulfilling personal and professional lives. ​I know I was put on this earth to get into good trouble - the kind that makes some people uncomfortable, and empowers those who have been marginalized. Before founding Spark and Pivot Counseling, I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Southern Methodist University and Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Davidson College. Most of my pre-license clinical work was with incarcerated individuals. In a local county jail, I learned firsthand how many of our systems intersect in devastating ways - keeping our most vulnerable community members trapped in cycles of poverty, substance abuse, and mental health crisis. It was in that setting that I learned how my privilege and personal resources protected me from similar outcomes; and must be used to break these intergenerational cycles of violence through my work. I also lead a group of clinicians that are passionate about helping neurodivergent clients. We offer diagnostic testing, couples counseling, and EMDR via telehealth and in-person in Dallas, TX.
