Therapists in Mount Pearl, NL

Hello ! I’m Hannah Sparkes with Spark Your Growth. Seeking support can be hard so I appreciate you taking time to view my profile and see if I am a suitable fit for you! I work with clients to help heal trauma, develop self-confidence, cope with life’s stressors, build stronger relationships, regulate anxiety and stress, overcome addiction and achieve a life you want to live, amongst other things. Given that each person is unique, I understand there is no one-size fits all when it comes to therapy. I use a combination of cognitive and somatic therapies to create an approach that will meet each individual's needs and interests.

I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for clients to develop a better understanding of themselves through gaining insight into their feelings, thoughts, behaviours and patterns. Therapy has aided people to achieve their goals, learn about themselves, and develop new coping strategies.Therapy with me is individualized and tailored to your specific goals and current concerns. I take a collaborative approach and include my clients throughout the entire process.Using evidence-based therapies, clients can see a decrease in stress levels, anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as improve relationships and help with ADHD symptoms.

I have a special interest in working with adults struggling with relationship challenges, career and life transitions. My personal lived experiences within toxic relationships have provided me with a compassionate lens that allows my clients to feel validated and understood. Allowing space for new perspectives on healthy relationships can create new paths to greater joy. As a special needs parent and educator, I also work with parents and teens who are challenged by new or ongoing diagnoses, including ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders, Autism and mild to profound delays.

I work primarily with parents, soon-to-be parents, and those trying to conceive who wish to improve their wellbeing. Parental wellbeing is the main determining factor for infant and child wellbeing and I work with people to prevent postpartum issues by enhancing their wellbeing prior to becoming a parent and supporting their wellbeing during their transition into parenting and beyond. I also help parents (at any stage of parenthood) through hard things and help them take care of their families by taking care of themselves.

I know that things are rough for a lot of us right now. We're overwhelmed with responsibilities, a constantly shifting social landscape, a pandemic, work, family, and the list goes on and on. Sometimes we just need to chat, other times we need some more structured support and treatment. I practice from a feminist oriented framework, which is to say that I understand the stress brought upon us because of all of the different ways that our experiences shape us. I keep up to date on multicultural counselling practices, and I'm experienced in working with a lot of "non-traditional" relationship dynamics and personal experiences.

Lesley has spent the last 18 years working with adults and children in a number of capacities including counselling, social development and child behavioral modification.

There are so many experiences in life that can make us lose touch with ourselves. You may feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and you’re unable to relax or let go. If you've had to be the one keeping it together and supporting other people, you may be here because you feel like you're just treading water with no direction or sense of safety. Therapy can be a place for you to finally let those walls down, let go of the burden to be "the strong one" and reconnect with yourself.

Today you have taken the first step to getting your life back. I know that mental health issues and life circumstances can leave you feeling overwhelmed, out of control, and without hope. BUT, don't believe everything your mind tells you! Regardless of the issues or circumstances that have brought you here, starting right now, you are on the road to recovery. Together, we will work to build the knowledge and skills that will enable you to manage and even overcome your issues, so you can start living the rich, meaningful life you want, today.

Hello! My name is Kristan and I am glad you have taken this first step. At times it can be difficult to determine what we are looking for or what we need, I am an empathetic and receptive therapist who is determined to help you navigate your way through life in a way that works best for you. It is of utmost importance that my clients seeking therapeutic intervention experience a safe and non-judgemental environment to share and heal.

You have a big inner world right now that no one in your life has the capacity to fully understand much less than help you through. What you sense and pick-up from your outer world may also cause stress and overwhelm. You may not even know what it really is, or where it stems from beyond surface stuff. It’s a dilemma. One that is often internalized with confusion and doubt until one day the discomfort moves to a new level. Maybe that day is today... you’re getting ready, building courage to ask for help. Navigating the journey forward requires space, recognization, understanding and skill… and I'm here as your Seasoned Guide. - M.

Giving some prior thought about your expectations for counselling is helpful, especially the roles for helper and client and their working alliance, and your goals for the process. It's important to choose a counsellor that best fits you. I see my role as 'on your team', yet not the manager or coach. You are the expert on you. I prefer a ‘level playing field’, so I endeavour to keep things open and transparent as possible. Since I think you already possess skills and strategies to tackle challenges ahead, our work together is about uncovering strengths, strategies and making a game plan together so 'wins' are truly yours.

Everyone needs additional support at times. Life can become tangled with mixed emotions and underlying thoughts or beliefs. There may be unexpected obstacles, challenges and changes in your life causing you to feel stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, or you may not identify with how you are feeling, but you have noticed that your mood and behaviours have changed. You may not be aware of the physical and/or social impact this may be having on your life. Together we can identify your inner strengths and develop additional strategies and tools to not only help you cope, but to support you and help you grow.

I believe that one can improve their quality of life by improving their mental health and so I offer a safe space where clients can share and learn healthy ways to cope with various stressors. I have experience working with neurodiverse population as well as clients facing depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, adjustment & anger issues, OCD, relational problems and other stressors.
