About us
Angela Culbreth
Founder, Spark Integrated Wellness
Licensed Professional Counselor
Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor
AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
AASECT Certified CE Provider
Angela Culbreth is a Licensed Professional Counselor and an AASECT-certified sex therapist in private practice in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood of Atlanta. In practice in metro Atlanta since graduating from Georgia State in 2001, she is an extensively trained trauma therapist and a sex and relationship expert who over the years has also developed a specialty in grief and spirituality. She sees clients in person or virtually, individually or as couples. She also provides supervision to sex therapists seeking AASECT certification, as well as practice consultation and continuing education for therapists.
As an extension of her longtime interests in relationships, sex, trauma, and spirituality, Angela has a more recently developed speciality in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). After finding great success in her own year-long course of KAP, learning firsthand how it can help really (no, really) resolve problems that traditional therapies have failed, she decided that she wanted to be able to offer that option to people in her community. In 2022 she began the exciting and somewhat daunting journey of becoming an expert in all things KAP. A round of training with Polaris Insight Center in California started things off, followed by a fascinating experiential retreat in Canada to learn about using KAP with couples. Now Angela is an affiliate of Skylight Psychedelics in Colorado, which allows her patients to get high quality medical supervision of their ketamine. Next up in 2025 is a deep focus on providing KAP for other Atlanta therapists so they can get a personal sense of it and decide if they want to incorporate it into their practices.
Outside of work, Angela likes gardening, painting, cooking, and listening to all sorts of music. At any given moment, she’s got more great ideas than she can count and a list of unfinished projects that she doesn’t want to count. Like many of the people she admires, she has a certain knack at being reverent and irreverent in the same breath, sees the sacred in the ordinary, and knows for sure that any work we do to be deeply alive and deeply present with the people that we love is work that we’ll never regret doing.
What she does
Individual Therapy
Trauma-informed, culturally competent, evidence based, brave and grounded, Angela has years of professional experience as a therapist as well as years of commitment to her own personal growth. She is able to skillfully guide people as they explore their inner worlds, especially in the territory of trauma, grief, sexuality, and spirituality.
Relationship Therapy
Therapy with partners can be a life-changing experience when it helps people develop new insights into old patterns and then use new skills – like how to listen deeply, speak in ways that are hearable, effectively show compassion and empathy – that are more effective than the old ones that led to frustrating cycles of disconnection, loneliness, and anger.
Sex Therapy
Most of us weren’t raised to communicate directly about sexuality and plenty of people end up in the habit of avoiding …and this includes therapists! Seeing a certified sex therapist is a good idea if you want to experience deeper intimacy, pleasure, and connection in your most important relationships.
Ketamine Assisted Therapy
Particularly good for people who feel stuck in their lives, unable to change painful patterns despite trying, this innovative therapeutic approach uniquely blends the power of the prescription drug ketamine with attuned psychotherapy to create an approach that can deepen insight and allow for new possibilities of healing and change.
Group Therapy
Most people take some convincing, but it’s worth that effort because group therapy can be an amazing experience. Fostering connection and a sense of belonging, you can risk It’s useful for people who would benefit from feeling less alone, it can enhance the positive benefits of individual or relationship therapy, it can lead to increased self-awareness, gives an opportunity to practice connecting with others, feeling a sense of belonging, and benefiting from hearing diverse voices, getting and giving feedback, risking connection in supported space.
Sexual Education
Angela has a special passion for two things in the sexuality education arena: teaching parents how to be great at their jobs of being their kids’ primary sexuality educators, and teaching other therapists how to make space and be good guides for their clients when sexuality issues are part of the picture – because they often are, if you know what to listen for.
Services for Therapists
Supervision for emerging Sex therapists
Nurturing and direct with a developmental, context-aware approach, she attempts to channel the best parts of her favorite teachers over the years. About half of her practice is supervision for sex therapists from all over the United States.
Continuing
Education

Therapy and
Coaching
Angela is a therapist’s therapist who understands the unique needs of therapists in therapy. Whether through practice development coaching or individual or couples therapy, she considers it an honor to work with her colleagues in support of their thriving practices and fulfilling personal lives.
