Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Mount Pearl, NL

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.

Trauma and grief can happen to us in so many different ways, from a relationship breakdown to being victimized, it can feel so scary and isolating. Experiencing trauma can take away our sense of self and you may feel like parts of you are holding you back or impacting your relationships and you have no control over them. I understand how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for help, so whether this is your first time reaching out for support or your tenth, please take the time to admire your strength.

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.

Mental health is never static; it ebbs and flows with the unique realities of our lives through experiences of joy, trauma, growth, loss, relationships and everyday stress. Understandably, some of those moments' impacts will leave us bruised, lost or broken. The concept of becoming overwhelmed by one’s thoughts, feelings, or bodily existence can create a sense of chaos and hopelessness; a future that you, the individual daring enough to be in this moment, have determined is but a moment of your journey, not your story. Therefore, I offer a space where you can experience safety in exploration and guidance in the recovery of self.

Although our counseling services are exclusively offered online at this time, we have a team of qualified and diverse counselors who are equipped to address a broad range of mental health concerns. Our approach emphasizes holistic healing, encompassing the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of well-being. We provide counseling to individuals, couples, families, and groups with equal dedication. In the event that a client is not fully satisfied, we are committed to finding a suitable replacement within our team or referring them to an unaffiliated professional outside of our organization to meet their needs.
