Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a trauma therapist who is grounded in anti-oppressive frameworks and who values collective care, curiosity, and ethical relationship-building. You don’t need to know everything, but you must be deeply committed to showing up for survivors, your coworkers, and yourself.

This role might be for you if you

• Know that healing work is political, relational, and not one-size-fits-all

• Can hold grief, rage, resistance, and joy without rushing to “fix”

• Believe rest, boundaries, and consent apply to staff, too

• Are willing to stay in hard conversations with care

• See therapy not only as a service, but as a space to challenge oppressive systems

Qualifications

• Education: A master’s degree in Social Work, Counselling Psychology/Counselling education, Mental Health Psychotherapy, Clinical Psychology, or equivalent with current or eligible registration with the appropriate professional body.

• Clinical Experience: Minimum two years of providing one-on-one therapy, preferably with survivors of sexualized violence and individuals living with complex trauma, dissociation, and attachment disruptions.

• Critical Analysis of Social Factors: Strong critical analysis of social and cultural factors contributing to sexualized violence and child abuse, with a commitment to anti-oppressive, decolonizing, pro-choice, and feminist practice.

• Therapeutic Modalities: Experience with or interest in Feminist Narrative, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, CPT, and other body and justice-based approaches.
