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.

Robert M. Lee
Registered Psychotherapist
You feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, or self-doubt, struggling to trust yourself or move forward. Maybe past wounds linger, creative blocks hold you back, or the pressure to perform—on stage, in relationships, or within yourself—feels exhausting. You may have glimpsed deeper awareness through dreams, meditation, or spirituality but find it hard to integrate. My approach blends Zen, Taoism, and Jungian analysis with mindfulness, depth psychology, and somatic awareness to help you uncover unconscious patterns, build self-trust, and reconnect with clarity and purpose. Change isn’t about forcing yourself forward but understanding what holds you back—allowing transformation to happen naturally.

Jennifer Morley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, BSc, BA, CCPA
It’s not easy being human right now. Especially when you’re carrying anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for everyone else. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or the people they care about, and who are ready for meaningful change.
My approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, helping clients build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that brought them to therapy.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, high stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you don’t have to perform, explain away your feelings, or have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional ease.

Registered Psychotherapist, MFA, MPS, Embodiment Coach
My job is not to fix you or heal you. You are not broken. The path has been thoroughly traveled a-thousand-fold. Healing is possible. It may be that you need to unravel trauma loops, recover childhood memories or give yourself the time to figure things out in this moment of your life. Growth and transformation is within reach. I am a survivor and a thriver from emotional, physical, sexual and spiritual abuse. I offer unconditional non-judgement as a gentle process for your journey.

Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Sometimes the ways we learned to cope helped us through difficult moments, but later can leave us feeling stuck. If you’re carrying painful experiences, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or finding that addiction has become difficult to manage, therapy can be a place to make sense of what’s happening without judgment.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. We can explore how past experiences may connect with present challenges while building skills that support you in everyday life. You don’t need to know exactly where to start—we can begin with what feels most important to you.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Sometimes life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, ADHD, disordered eating, family stress, or the impact of difficult or unsafe relationships. Whatever brings you to therapy, you do not have to figure it out alone.
I work with youth, adults, and couples to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and move toward healing and growth. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be tailored to the person in front of me.
Together, we can explore patterns, develop practical tools, strengthen emotional regulation, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but reaching out for support is a sign of strength.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
You are here because relationships and life for you have been an emotional and spiritual battle through your drained soul and body. Long-term narcissistic abuse, BPD, codependency and complex trauma have been a journey of living in survival mode. You are tired of suffering and not living better. You want better than this, and yes, you can have it. Many clients have told me they have been missing something from therapy after countless therapists - deep, soulful relationship healing and actionable steps that get into your heart of soul wounds, not just talk therapy and endlessly validating feelings. While we do this, we do so much more. Being in therapy with me is like experiencing the deep end of you with a professional best friend, shaman and prophetic healer in tune with your soul, body and spirit.
I will help you heal your complex trauma, navigate difficult relationships and guide you toward the reclamation of your soul, voice and power.
Evidence-based, integrative, holistic, complex trauma-informed DBT, mindfulness, Gestalt method and faith-based, I don't leave any part of you out of the equation - mind-body-soul-spirit healing. Where science, natural intelligence and God intersect. All parts of you deserve therapy at this deep level. If you're still reading and feel it, book a consultation with me. I look forward to connecting with you

Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
Healing happens in relationship and I create a heart-centered space for our work together. I have many years of experience working with clients on issues ranging from anxiety to relationship difficulties and life transitions. I use a therapy model called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps you understand the different parts of you that are experiencing challenges. For instance, there may be a part of you who is a perfectionist, or a part that may feel overwhelming anxiety. We get to know these parts of you in a compassionate and curious way, which helps you to get to the root cause. Through this clarity, a spaciousness opens up in your psyche and body, which can often lead to profound healing. I teach clients how to engage their mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.
