About Mountain Brow Counselling
Mountain Brow Counselling is a growing group practice in Hamilton focused on trauma-informed, relational mental health care, helping clients across the lifespan and supporting the well-being of individuals, couples, parents, and families. We are seeking a part-time therapist with strong foundation and expertise in trauma who is looking for a long-term team home and values collaboration, clinical excellence, and meaningful client work.
Our unique approach includes walk-and-talk therapy, giving clients the opportunity to connect and reflect in nature as part of their healing journey.
About the Role
You have a strong foundation in trauma-informed treatment models and enjoy supporting adults through a variety of life challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting stress, life transitions, grief, and the lasting impacts of trauma.
You are passionate about helping clients develop deeper self-understanding, emotional resilience, and meaningful change. Experience supporting women, parents, and individuals navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, reproductive loss, perimenopause, or menopause is considered a strong asset.
You have training in evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, IFS, somatic therapies, CBT, ACT, DBT, EFT, Brainspotting, Deep Brain Reprocessing, Narrative Therapy, or other trauma-focused modalities and are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care.

- Regular opportunities for social connection outside of work, including team gatherings and fun events
- Opportunities for professional growth and development, including monthly group supervision
- A values-driven practice with clients committed to meaningful change
We are looking for a clinician who wants more than just a job: you are looking for a professional home and a team you can grow with. While we are hoping to hire soon, we are happy to work with the right candidate's schedule regarding their start date.
