Jessica Sparks-Gardner: Anxiety, Couples, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BA
Burlington, ON L7P
I draw from evidence-based, relational, and developmental approaches, including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT).
You may have spent years holding it together while feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of what you need. Perhaps you've always been the strong one, yet something feels missing. Many of us were never taught what to do with our emotions, so we learned to push them aside. I offer a warm, supportive space, for teens, adults, and couples, to better understand your emotions, make sense of difficult experiences, and strengthen your connection with yourself and others. Together, we'll work toward greater clarity, self-understanding, and connection to yourself and others.

You’re someone who’s always pushing forward, balancing the demands of life, career, and personal goals. You’ve explored self-help resources, dabbled in mindfulness, and perhaps even sought therapy, but still feel like you’re not where you want to be. Overwhelm, anxiety, self-doubt, or maybe ADHD are part of your daily challenges, compounded by the quest for a healthier work-life balance. Your relationships might also reflect this struggle, marked by a tendency to prioritize others’ needs or finding it hard to achieve fulfillment with those closest to you.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based practices, tailoring each session to your unique needs.
At the heart of my practice is mindfulness. I believe that lasting change begins with awareness. When we learn to observe our thoughts, emotions, and experiences without immediately reacting to them, we create space to respond with greater intention, self-compassion, and freedom. This mindful awareness becomes the foundation from which we heal and growth.

Together, we’ll draw on your strengths while using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and ACT to help you heal.
Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, it’s never enough? You may look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside, you feel weighed down by self-doubt, painful memories, or a sense of failure. Past experiences may continue to haunt you, leaving you struggling to enjoy the present. Living with trauma, grief, or chronic pain can make it hard to feel truly happy or at peace, even when you think you “should.” If you’ve tried to push the past aside but find it still impacting your daily life, you don’t have to face it alone.
