Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Credit Provider
Our Shared Vision & Purpose
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services Inc., we believe that profound healing occurs when advanced clinical expertise meets deeply attuned, human-centered care. Founded on the conviction that no two journeys toward wellness are identical, our practice stands as a sanctuary for individuals, first responders, and mental health professionals seeking to move beyond surface-level coping and cultivate enduring, transformative growth.
Our team brings together highly skilled, master’s-level Registered Clinical Social Workers (MSW, RCSW) with extensive backgrounds in neurobiology, trauma recovery, and evidence-based clinical practices. Bound by a shared commitment to clinical excellence, continuous learning, and absolute ethical integrity, we view our work not merely as a service, but as a sacred partnership. We honor the courage it takes to step into therapy, and we hold space for every story with warmth, cultural humility, and unwavering respect.
What We Stand For
Holistic & Neurobiologically Grounded Care: We recognize the intricate connection between mind, body, and nervous system. Our clinical approach integrates diverse, proven modalities—including EMDR, Somatic Regulation, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies, and Relational Care—tailored seamlessly to the unique needs of each individual.
Empowerment & Autonomy: True healing is not about fixing what is broken; it is about reclaiming your innate resilience, agency, and authentic voice. We walk alongside you as compassionate guides, offering the tools and framework for you to navigate life’s complexities with confidence.
Specialized Support for High-Acuity Roles: We hold a deep dedication to supporting those who serve others. Our practice provides confidential, culturally competent care for first responders, healthcare professionals, and leaders bearing the heavy mental load of frontline, high-responsibility roles.
Advancing the Standard of Mental Healthcare: Beyond direct client support, we are passionately invested in the strength of the broader therapeutic community. Through accredited clinical consultation, mentorship, and advanced professional training, we actively contribute to elevating trauma-informed care across North America.
Our Core Purpose
Living with vitality, balance, and genuine peace should not feel out of reach. Whether guiding an individual through the weight of trauma, supporting a family through transition, or mentoring fellow clinicians toward professional mastery, Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services Inc. remains dedicated to illuminating the path forward—helping our clients and community anchor in resilience, discover authentic connection, and harness enduring joy.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
I am a trauma-informed, somatic, intuitive therapist supporting women, individuals, and couples - who are seeking deeper, root-cause healing for emotional, relational, and spiritual concerns. I often work with highly sensitive, empathic, intuitive, or neurodivergent clients, including mothers, caregivers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals in helping roles, demanding careers, or leadership positions. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, spiritual exploration, or periods of personal transformation. My approach integrates somatic work, compassionate and empowering talk therapy, nervous system healing, inner child work, energy healing, and more, to help you move beyond symptom relief toward greater inner safety, self-trust, and authenticity, and mind-body-spirit health and wellbeing.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
With over 20 years' counselling experience let me help you find the life you wish for. I am the proud mother of 4 sons (now adult) and grandmother to 8 (a mixture of girls and boys)! In addition to counselling I’ve worked in hospital administration, construction, business, advertising/marketing and farming. I also love to learn. Neurodiversity explains how our brains work and affect our behaviour and enables us to use tools to level the playing field so that you get the absolute most from your life. Explore the connection between your reactions and your past and the strong connection between the body, the psyche and the brain (including polyvagal work). (I also ballroom-dance at every opportunity!)

Aliya Amarshi
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
I offer warm, attuned, and inclusive online therapy for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the complexities of identity, family, and work. My approach integrates Gestalt, IFS (parts work), and somatic strategies to support nervous system regulation and deeper self-understanding. I hold space for the full range of your experience—without judgment—and tailor our work to what feels most supportive and effective for you. Healing, to me, is not just personal—it’s also a step toward creating a more compassionate world.

Andrew Saliba
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC (Registration No. 11246757), APC (Registration No. 834ON24)
Together, I believe therapy can be both transformational and perhaps even enjoyable.
Maybe you'd like to begin working on some things, but aren't sure where to start. I believe everyone deserves a safe place to share, process, and to find inner healing. I welcome you as you are. Contact me to let me know about yourself or what you're seeking help about.
My journey has been neither easy nor straightforward, so I see the need for empathy, deep listening, and a non-judgemental approach to issues.
One of the reasons I became a counsellor was to support those with either pain from the past, questions about life, or problems that require someone who listens well and has expertise to help. My desire is to help you understand yourself better and navigate your circumstances with a sense of strength, hope, and togetherness.
