Who We’re Looking For

• 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.
