Now Hiring: Registered Clinical Counsellor, Registered Social Worker, or Registered Psychologist
Independent Contractor Hybrid In-Person & Virtual Vancouver, BC
Your unique skills deserve a unique workplace.
Providence Therapy is a leading trauma-focused clinical counselling group practice in the heart of Vancouver's Fairview neighbourhood. We are a collaborative, dog-friendly, forward-thinking team of regulated clinicians united by a genuine passion for depth-oriented, experiential trauma therapy - and we're growing.
We are currently seeking in-person, experienced Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC), Registered Social Workers (RSW), and Registered Psychologists (R.Psych) with formal, in-depth training in experiential trauma-focused approaches to join our team as independent contractors. At this time, we are particularly interested in candidates with formal training in core trauma-focused reprocessing models and competencies such as EMDR, DBR, IFS/ Parts based therapies, Somatic Therapy, AEDP, OEI, complex trauma and dissociation, or similar; and candidates who have significant clinical experience in couples therapy and DBT, in addition to their trauma training.
NOTE : We can appreciate the role cognitive models such as CBT can play in supporting clients, however, training in cognitive models alone do not meet our clinics experiential focused needs at this time.
If you are a driven, growth-oriented clinician who thrives in a collaborative team culture and is deeply committed to the art and science of trauma therapy, we would love to meet you.
A note on applying
We know job hunting means filling out a lot of applications, but we'd love for you to slow down for this one. As part of the process, we ask a few screening questions, and we take them seriously. We're looking for candidates who've genuinely taken the time to read this job description, spend a few minutes on our website getting familiar with the work we do and what we specialize in, and thoughtfully reflect on how they'd be a fit for our team.
Applications with skipped questions or short, generic answers are often passed over quickly, even for candidates who might otherwise be a great fit.
So if you're applying, please take the time to give complete, intentional answers; it genuinely makes a difference in how we review your application.
We're excited to meet candidates who are as invested in finding the right fit as we are, and we look forward to reading yours.
