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.

Kim Silverthorn - Tacit Knowledge
Counsellor/Therapist, B.A., M.P.C.C., C.T.
Life can be hard sometimes and we all find ourselves needing a little support in those difficult moments. Reaching out is often the hardest part of the process. Tacit Knowledge can help - we offer individual and couples counselling to teens and to adults. All of our services are available in-person and online - and are available to everyone, all across Canada. I am Kim Silverthorn BA, MPCC, CT - I am the owner and primary therapist at Tacit, and my office is located in Beaumont.
I offer a variety of traditional and holistic counselling supports for adults and for teens/youth. I provide an empathetic and confidential atmosphere in my counselling office, as I assist individuals, couples and family’s in addressing some of the more emotionally difficult issues in their lives.
I also offer Neurofeedback Training - on its own or in combination with regular talk-therapy sessions (as desired by the client). Neurofeedback Training is an excellent type of support designed for managing stress, past trauma, chronic illness, concussion, ADHD, depression, racing thoughts, sleep issues, etc . It helps a person change their brainwave patterns so resiliency and safety is created and imbalance is neutralized (no electrical impulses are used - dynamical Neurofeedback is completely non-intrusive).
I also provide Professional Development Training to various agencies and organizations, helping staff enhance the skills they use in their own workplaces on a daily basis. And I provide excellent community based programming/courses for those in the general public who may not yet be able to access the training that I offer, through their places of employment.
I believe in providing my clients with the support they need on an individual basis - as part of your family - and/or with your bigger work team. I get to know you by first understanding the challenges you are facing from your perspective – and I help you come from a place of confidence and strength as you overcome those challenges in a successful and healthy way.
