True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
I specialize in helping individuals with personality disorders heal by reframing these patterns as survival strategies born from long-term trauma and dysfunctional relationships, not as something inherently wrong. My approach focuses on understanding the behaviours and defences, like shame, fear, or emotional walls-that shaped your personality to cope with past environments. Together, we explore these patterns, such as those seen in borderline or narcissistic personality types, and work on healing deep attachment pain, shame, and neglect. By grieving and releasing these core wounds, we transform the ego-driven survival mechanisms, allowing your authentic self to emerge. In an empathetic, non-judgmental space, we unravel these layers of the created self, fostering lasting change and return to the soul self.

Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Credit Provider
Restoring Internal Peace: Navigating Emotional Intensity and Relational Shifts
Living with a personality disorder—or navigating the intense emotional turbulence associated with one—often feels like moving through the world without emotional armor. Everyday interactions can trigger profound surges of anxiety, deep-seated fears of abandonment, or sudden shifts in how you view yourself and the people you care about most.
When your nervous system stays stuck in high-alert, protecting yourself can end up creating intense inner turmoil and volatile relationship patterns. It is an exhausting cycle: longing for deep, safe connection while simultaneously feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or terrified of vulnerability.
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services, we provide a stable, non-judgmental sanctuary where you are treated with dignity, not labeled by a diagnosis. Guided by our foundational values of empathy, integrity, tailored care, and authentic growth, we offer a structured, heart-centered space to help you make sense of these overwhelming emotional waves.
Through our neurobiologically-grounded, trauma-informed approach, we support you to:
Soothe Nervous System Dysregulation: Develop practical somatic grounding tools to navigate sudden emotional spikes, chronic distress, and feelings of emptiness safely.
Transform Relational Patterns: Understand underlying attachment wounds, build healthy communication strategies, and cultivate secure boundaries that foster lasting, stable relationships.
Anchor a Secure Sense of Self: Dismantle severe self-criticism, integrate fragmented emotional experiences, and build a quiet, steady self-trust rooted in genuine peace and resilience.
You are far more than a set of symptoms or coping patterns. Healing is about coming home to yourself—moving away from constant survival mode so you can step into balanced relationships, emotional stability, and restored vitality.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying the weight of a personality disorder. My goal is to support you as I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re also working on trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients. I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
From a psychodynamic lens, I aim to understand the ways in which your personality has developed through a constellation of bio-psycho-social factors: including your biologically-based temperament/constitution; the attachment relationships that have created internal sets of rules and external dynamics for how you interact with others; how you have learned to cope and survive via defense mechanisms; and how connected you feel you are to an enduring sense of self.
