JESS GARDNER

CERTIFIED IAT COACH

Being a former fearful avoidant (meaning I had both anxious and avoidant tendencies), I have a unique perspective on what the challenges are like on both sides of the attachment coin.  

Having experienced different challenging relationships throughout life and navigating my own struggles both in partnerships and while single, I know how hard it is to navigate this journey alone. I did many years of cognitive therapy but never quite hit the nail on the head. When I finally discovered attachment theory and was mentored in IAT I saw real progress in my life and my relationships... so much that I felt inspired to become a coach so I could help others.

I am now what we like to call in the attachment world “earned secure” and I did this by doing the same methods that I will be teaching you. Everyone's journey will be a little bit different. I will create a personalized program for you and teach you the skills to become secure. My work is based on the belief that through attachment healing, individuals will find their way home to their truest, most authentic & happiest self.

Fulfilling relationships come from within… and the most important one starts with yourself. I’m here to help guide you.

  • “ Through Jess's guidance, I am empowered to become a better version of myself. She provides me with the necessary tools and insights to navigate various challenges along my personal growth journey. Her genuine care, attentive listening, and guidance have helped me feel much better about myself.“

  • “ I had tried traditional talk therapy for many years with many different therapists. It was helpful and some modest gains were achieved. But it doesn't even come close to comparing to the monumental progress I have made since starting attachment coaching with Jess. I have been astounded at the changes that I have seen in how I feel each day and how I am significantly less triggered by things.”

  • “After years of talk therapy, with many different therapists I never had that "breakthrough" moment. Working with Jess was so different (and better) than any of my previous therapy experiences.”

  • “The coaching offered by Jess goes way deeper than talk therapy. I was amazed at the changes I saw in myself and in my life.”
