Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
Hello, my name is Michelle.
I am a registered psychotherapist who draws from a variety of different approaches. I appreciate the steps that you are taking towards change and growth. I am a mother of four, and in my free time I love to read, hike, dance, and travel. I personally understand what it is like to come from a place of needing and asking for help. This awareness helps me to empathize and create a place for you to share your unique experiences. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe space for you to do so. It would to be an honour for me to help you re-write new chapters in your story. I provide a 15 minute free consultation in which you can determine if I am the right fit for you.

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.
