Hi! I’m Michelle, a registered Social Worker in Russell, Ontario, who is passionate about walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s complexities. I offer counselling that is trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, compassionate, and tailored to you.
My practice is grounded in deep respect for each person’s unique story. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, including late-diagnosed individuals, and supporting families navigating new or evolving diagnoses. I also provide guidance through family conflict, attachment-related challenges, and experiences involving child welfare.
I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). This eclectic approach allows me to create individualized care plans that truly reflect your needs, strengths, and goals.
My work is built on a foundation of trauma-informed care, always considering how past experiences may shape the present. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your family, I strive to offer a space that feels safe, validating, and empowering.

When I’m not in the therapy room, or working my full-time job (because I haven’t yet mastered the art of sitting still), you’ll likely find me wearing my most important title: hockey mom. With three active kids, much of my free time is spent cheering from the stands, navigating arenas across Eastern Ontario, and serving as a full-time chauffeur with part-time snack delivery duties.
At home, life is equally busy thanks to our two husky dogs, who ensure there’s never a quiet moment (or a completely fur-free outfit). As a family, we love spending time camping, slowing down, and enjoying the simple things that come with being outdoors.
I also have a tendency to stay a little hyper-focused on all things neurodiversity. Whether it’s reading the latest research, listening to podcasts, exploring lived experiences, or falling down a rabbit hole about the newest findings in ADHD and Autism, it’s a topic that genuinely fascinates me both professionally and personally.
At the heart of it all, I value connection, authenticity, laughter, and creating spaces where people feel accepted exactly as they are. Those same values are what I strive to bring into my work every day at Harmony Haven.

Hi! I’m Jonayca. I’m a Registered Social Worker with 8 years of experience walking alongside children, youth, families, and individuals through life’s many twists and turns. I take pride in offering genuine, compassionate support—walking hand in hand with you (or your family) as you tap into your resilience, navigate challenges, and embrace healing at your own pace.
My approach is collaborative and client-centered. Together, we’ll explore insights, build coping strategies, and create meaningful change that fits your unique journey. Whether you’re hoping to strengthen relationships, manage anxiety or stress, or simply understand yourself better, I aim to make therapy a space where growth feels possible, personal, and empowering.
My practice is deeply rooted in respect for your experiences, identity, and values. I have had the privilege of working with diverse communities, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis (FNIM) individuals and families, as well as members of the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent community. These experiences have grounded my practice in cultural humility, inclusivity, and a deep appreciation for the ways identity, culture, and community shape our healing journeys.
I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy, while fostering a safe and nurturing environment for exploration and self-discovery. Together, we’ll transform challenges into opportunities for growth, strengthen your sense of resilience, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, grounded, and fulfilling.
Therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, deeply understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space that honours your story, validates your experiences, and celebrates your progress—without judgment, pressure, or pretense. Above all, I want you to leave each session feeling lighter, more hopeful, and connected to the strength that’s already within you.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll usually find me at Pilates (trying to convince myself the shaking means it’s working), exploring a hiking trail, planning my next adventure, or making another trip back to Toronto to spend time with family.
Originally from Toronto, I moved to Ottawa for university and somehow blinked and realized I’ve been building a life here since 2015. While Ottawa has become home, a big piece of my heart still belongs in Toronto, and I still jump at any excuse to head back and spend time with the people who know me best.
As the only girl among three siblings, I learned pretty early on how to hold my own, but nothing has stretched my heart quite like becoming a mom in March 2025. These days, life looks a little different, fuelled by coffee, cuddles, and learning to appreciate the magic hidden within everyday moments.
I’ve always been someone who feels most alive when exploring new places, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip, wandering through a city without much of a plan, or discovering a hidden gem while travelling, I love collecting stories and memories along the way. I’ve been fortunate to explore parts of Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and North America, and I’m always dreaming about wherever comes next.
When I’m not planning my next getaway, you’ll likely find me curled up with a good book, catching up with friends, or spending time in my community. Meaningful conversations, shared laughter, and feeling connected to others are what fill my cup and keep me grounded, and I carry that same appreciation for human connection into the work I do each day.

Salut! I’m Michelle. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) and a proud franco-ontarian.
I offer therapy to children, teens and families using an eclectic array of tools and approaches which draw from Attachment Focused Therapy, Collaborative Problem Solving, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy and Play Therapy with somatic and feminist approaches. I work collaboratively with clients to uncover your own knowledge, strengths and direction. My aim is always to empower and allow for you to direct your own healing, as you are the expert in your lived experience.
I believe in the complexity of our humanity. I believe that there is more to ourselves than we even know. When asked about my approach to therapy, my answer is simple: I walk the forest. A forest is ever changing, growing, decaying and flowering. It is unknowable, no matter how many times you walk it. A forest fire can fundamentally change and scar a part of the forest and yet, there will still be beauty, resilience and wonder to discover. Forests are wild and full of gifts, if you only know where to look. We are forests, and my job is to walk with you.

When I'm not working, I try to live a slow, intentional life despite the speed and pressure of... everything. I have a son and daughter who are bright, funny and delightful. We love games of all kinds, whether on a screen or on a board. Every week, my husband and I play D&D together with a group of friends.
I love to meander in the trail near my house or sit on my porch and watch the birds. I also love to listen to audio books while I try my hand at my latest hobby which can change monthly, but is sewing at the moment.

Hi! I’m Sean, a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist based in Ontario who is passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate anxiety, burnout, trauma, and life’s challenges. I offer therapy that is compassionate, collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique experiences and goals
My practice is grounded in creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I have a particular interest in working with individuals experiencing workplace stress and burnout, anxiety-related concerns, difficult life experiences, and trauma-related symptoms.
Prior to private practice, I worked in psychological health and safety leadership roles within the Government of Canada, supporting individuals experiencing stress, crisis situations, and workplace mental health challenges. This experience continues to shape my practical and empathetic approach to therapy.
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed approaches. I welcome clients seeking this specialized treatment approach for trauma, distressing memories, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or simply looking for support and direction, my goal is to help you better understand your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and reconnect with the parts of life that matter most to you.

When I'm not in the therapy room, there's a good chance you'll find me at a hockey rink. Hockey has been a huge part of my life for over 30 years, and I still spend a lot of time officiating, teaching, and working with Hockey Canada to help develop officials across the country. If there's ice involved, I'm probably not too far away.
Home is shared with my partner, Adam, our dog TJ, and our two cats, Jasper and Frosty—who have an ongoing disagreement about whose house it actually is. They do their best to keep life entertaining (and occasionally chaotic).
I'm also one of those people who genuinely enjoys learning. I have a habit of diving into the latest research on trauma, mental health, and human behaviour, often telling myself I'll read "just one more article" before realizing an hour has disappeared. Thankfully, my curiosity benefits my clients as much as it satisfies me.
When I can step away from work, I enjoy travelling, getting outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and finding opportunities to recharge. Whether it's exploring somewhere new or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, I appreciate the balance that comes from slowing down every now and then.
At the end of the day, I believe therapy works best when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves. I try to bring warmth, authenticity, a little humour (when it's helpful), and a genuine belief that change is possible into every conversation. My hope is that from the moment we meet, you'll feel like you're talking with another person—not just another therapist.

Hello, I am Natasha, a Registered Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting children, youth, adults, and families with a range of mental health challenges.
My practice is rooted in respect, empathy, and the belief in each person's unique strengths and potential for growth. I like to empower my clients to navigate complex systems and provide practical, personalized support, particularly for youth, children, and families managing ADHD, ASD, developmental disabilities, and dual diagnoses. My commitment to advocacy and person-centred care helps families access essential supports and feel understood.
I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed practices, and strengths-based interventions. This flexible, collaborative approach allows me to tailor therapy to each client's needs and goals.
My experience in youth mental health, crisis intervention, behavioural support, and developmental services has shown me the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, family conflict, parenting concerns, or life stressors, I aim to provide a space for healing, self-discovery, and growth.
Seeking support can be challenging, but you do not have to face difficulties alone. Together, we can build on your strengths, develop practical tools, and work toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. I look forward to supporting you. -
Outside of Harmony Haven, I work full-time as a Youth Counsellor at the Robert Smart Centre, where I support youth experiencing complex mental health and behavioural challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centred, and strengths-based, with a focus on building therapeutic relationships, fostering resilience, and helping youth develop healthy coping strategies.
Supporting children, youth, and families through life’s challenges is deeply meaningful to me. I am passionate about creating safe, supportive environments where people feel heard, empowered, and encouraged to reach their full potential. I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-informed care and to meet each person with empathy, respect, and understanding.
When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me on the water with my paddle board or spending time camping and enjoying nature. Being outdoors helps me slow down, recharge, and feel grounded, and I find that it allows me to bring my best self into both my personal life and my work.
I also value spending quality time with the people I care about. Building meaningful relationships, fostering open and honest communication, and creating a welcoming, non-judgmental environment is important to me. I believe everyone deserves to feel respected, accepted, and safe to be themselves, and I strive to create that kind of space for every client I have the privilege of supporting.
Whether I’m in the counselling room, or enjoying time in nature, I aim to lead with kindness, authenticity, and compassion. My hope is that everyone I work with feels supported, understood, and empowered to recognize their strengths and move toward the life they want to build. These are the values I look forward to bringing to my work every day at Harmony Haven.

I’m Emile Yav Kayembe, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO. I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and move toward greater emotional well-being and connection.
I believe that healing and growth happen when people feel truly heard, understood, and accepted. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, creating a space where you can explore your experiences openly and at your own pace. Whether you are facing anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, emotional stress, or significant life transitions, I strive to provide support that is compassionate, culturally sensitive, and tailored to your unique needs and goals

When I am not in the therapy room, I enjoy staying active through sports, spending time in nature, and maintaining meaningful connections with family and friends. I also appreciate spending time with seniors and listening to their stories, wisdom, and rich experiences.
I am naturally curious and committed to lifelong learning. You will often find me reading, exploring current research, or learning new therapeutic strategies. I am particularly interested in emotional disconnection, life transit, relationships, and trauma-informed care areas that continue to deepen my understanding of the human experience.
At the core of who I am, both personally and professionally, are compassion, authenticity, genuine human connection, and respect for each person’s individual story. These values keep me grounded and guide me in offering a warm, attentive, and culturally sensitive presence to the clients I support at Harmony Haven.

Hi, I'm Kaity (she/her/elle), a registered social worker and psychotherapist. I believe meaningful healing and personal growth begin when people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences and move towards meaningful change.
Through my work across diverse mental health and social service settings, I have developed a broad range of skills supporting individuals, children, youth, and families through life’s challenges and transitions. I approach therapy from a collaborative, compassionate, and client-centred perspective, recognizing that no two people experience the world in the same way. Because every story is unique, I believe therapy should be personalized to reflect your individual needs, values, strengths, and goals.
Being a queer identifying therapist myself, I understand the importance of meeting people where they are at and supporting them on their journey, which is part of why I am so passionate about providing an inclusive space for folks from all walks of life.
My approach to therapy is person-centered and eclectic, using evidenced-based modalities like Gottman Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), and Brainspotting. I work alongside folks to deepen self-understanding, develop practical coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and foster lasting growth. I strive to provide care that is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and affirming of diverse identities and lived experiences.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, navigating a major life transition, or simply seeking a space for reflection and support, I am committed to walking alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Together, we can build on your strengths and create a path forward that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m usually trying to convince myself that one more pilates class or yoga session is a good idea (it always is, eventually). Movement has become one of my favourite ways to recharge and stay grounded.
Whenever possible, I can be found at my family's waterfront property, soaking up the peacefulness that comes with being near the water. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee, time spent outdoors, or simply enjoying the view, it’s one of my favourite places to reset.
My parents and I own "pug brothers", mine being named Frank, whose big personality and endless charm keep things interesting. Like most pugs, they have plenty of opinions, a healthy appreciation for snacks (which, same), and a talent for making himself the centre of attention. Don't be scared to ask to see a picture of the pugs because I am always beyond eager to share!
At any given point, I value connection, silly-goofy moments, authenticity, and creating space for both growth and rest. Those same values guide the way I show up in my work, helping me create a space where clients feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely seen.

Hi! My name is Alexandra and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences and a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward meaningful change.
My practice is grounded in creating a supportive, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I am committed to providing trauma-informed and culturally responsive care and value taking the time to understand each client’s identity, worldview, and lived experiences.
As a Portuguese-Yugoslavian Canadian raised in an immigrant family, I bring both personal and professional insight into the diverse experiences and perspectives that shape our lives. Growing up in a religious family has also given me a unique understanding of the complexities of faith, spirituality, religious trauma, and the role religion can play in a person’s identity and well-being. I welcome conversations around these topics and strive to support clients in exploring them in ways that feel meaningful and authentic.
My therapeutic approach is dynamic, which means that it is based on several evidence-based modalities including Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy.
Together, we can explore difficult experiences, strengthen coping strategies, and build upon the resilience and strengths you already possess. I look forward to being part of your journey!

Hi! I’m Carolyn, a Registered Social Worker with 13+ years of experience working with children, youth and families. I love helping those who find themselves in tricky and difficult situations navigate the obstacles that come in living life and being part of a family. I have worked in the school, youth justice, and mental health systems. I believe that it is never too late and you have never gone too far to make changes.
I am a trained family therapist who has worked with families facing many different hardships, including family conflict, youth justice involvement, and substance use. I work with youth and adults in family therapy as well as individually through a variety of concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, violence, and life stress. I offer different treatment modalities from family therapy to psychoeducational and practical ideas and want to work with you to find what fits you and your life best. I enjoy connecting with community members and want to help you in advocating for yourself and your family as needed.
I have an eclectic approach, grounded in evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), FFT (Functional Family Therapy). I also use an ARC (Attachment, Regulation, and Competency) Framework and draw from Narrative therapy. I find that being eclectic in scope allows for a best fit approach in order to be the most helpful to you and your family. I have a client-centered approach and believe that you are the expert in your own life.

When I’m not in the therapy room, I am chasing my two young kids. You will find me at school drop off and pick up, and local playgrounds. I also crave the quiet home life, and I enjoy being at home with my husband, kids, and two cats. I am a huge Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings fan (some would say nerd), and my husband, kids and I all build and collect Lego. I enjoy board games, baking, and coffee. We are active in our local church.
We are a military family, and we have moved from Nova Scotia to Victoria, British Columbia, and then east again to Ottawa (yes, this includes my two cats who have now driven from NS to BC to ON). I am a proud military wife and I understand the struggles that come along with this lifestyle and moving and starting over in new places and building a new village every time we land.
We love to travel and I am always dreaming of where the next adventure will take us. Whether it is a local camping trip, visits to family out west or back east, or planning a bigger adventure, I am invigorated by travel and seeing new places and learning about history and culture. As our extended family extends coast to coast, my children have been on countless flights and love going to the airport.
I am fascinated by human development and interactions, and I am always trying to figure out where someone is coming from and what circumstances and decisions led them to where they are now. Our past experiences lead us to where we are now, but they don’t have to dictate where we are going in the future. My interest in history and people’s stories comes from the idea that we have so much to learn from each other, which we need as humans to move forward and sometimes we all need someone to help us see new ideas and try new things.

Hi, I’m Stacey. I’m a Registered Indigenous Social Worker, and for more than a decade I’ve had the honour of walking alongside children, youth, and families as they uncover their strengths, nurture resilience, and build connections.
I specialize in supporting individuals living with ADHD, ASD, youth and children, families in crisis and parents seeking guidance and healing in their relationships with their children. I am passionate about guiding individuals through complicated systems and working to dismantle obstacles that stand in the way of accessing support.
While my practice is deeply rooted in supporting Indigenous individuals and families as they unpack cultural identity, address the impacts of intergenerational trauma, and connect with their roots and spirit, I also work with people of all cultural backgrounds, offering a safe, inclusive space for those looking to explore a deeper sense of their identities.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and culturally grounded. I integrate evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies, while honouring Indigenous ways of knowing and healing. Together, we can create a safe space where your story is respected, your strengths are celebrated, and new pathways for growth and connection can emerge.
