Work With Us

Registered and Provisonal Psychologists are welcome!

This opportunity is best suited for someone who is already trained in or is willing to receive training in ERP for OCD, CBT for Anxiety and other Disorders, and Evidence Based Treatments for PTSD (CPT, PE, EMDR), though someone with a strong willingness to learn and other relevant training would be considered.

This will all depend on where you are in your learning, but I’m equipped to help people who are learning how to do a clinical intake and differential diagnosis through to those with intermediate skills who are looking to learn the advanced technical nuts and bolts of behavior therapy for specific concerns. I also provide access to the “Treatments that work” series of CBT protocols, and deliver many of these protocols myself. I’d be happy to walk through them with you as you learn them and use them with your clients.

Preference will be given to candidates who wish to work up to 20 hours per week, with some evening and weekend hours, as well as to those with experience/interest in working with gender and sexual minorities or other marginalized groups.

My dream colleagues are enthusiastic and have an unflinching commitment to evidence based practice. Bonus points for a great sense of humour!

Oh, FOR SURE. I absolutely love joining people in developing their areas of interest. The things that are not negotiable have to do with a commitment to evidence based practice and an enthusiastic wish to do clinical work, as well as our goodness of fit personally. When I first started working in the areas I now specialize in, I had a lot of trouble finding clinical consultation that didn’t cost an arm and a leg, and I deeply wished that I could work with some specialists without signing a non-compete that would hobble my future career. I’m hoping to “be the change”, lol.

The biggest differences have to do with our mutual investment in one another. I ask for a two year committment from you and provide weekly clinical consultation in hopes of you building mastery in the areas that we work in. Following that two year committment you can take your caseload with you and start a private practice of your own, and I am happy to provide information and support around that. A lot of the reason I do this is to provide mentorship and enhance a community of practice in the areas I work in, so my investment in the success of the people I work with is high! This is a big contrast to the mutually low level of committment that is common at many group practices.

We also do not share a group office space, but rather work out of offices in different areas of the city, so no lunch room unfortunately!

No. Because many of the areas that we specialize in have CBT treatments as the gold standard/evidence based treatments, this isn’t the right practice for folks who don’t have CBT as a major area of interest and practice (CBT includes Schema therapy, ERP, ACT, DBT, PE, CPT, and more). It’s totally possible to be a great therapist and never do any CBT, however (hot take!) it’s not currently possible to do evidence based treatment for OCD or anxiety disorders without doing CBT. I’ll be the first to cheer when something that has better PR than exposure therapy starts to show more promising results, but alas, not yet.

This also is not a good fit for folks who do not know or don’t want to learn differential diagnosis for commonly occurring clinical conditions. Not every client wants/needs/has a diagnosis, but those that do have to be able to access them.
