Child & Family Psychologist or Social Worker

*At True Living Counselling & Coaching Inc., *we believe therapy should change lives, and that the earlier children and families get support, the bigger that change can be.

We're looking for a compassionate, skilled Child & Family Therapist who is passionate about helping children, teens, and their families move from surviving to truly living. If you love meaningful clinical work with young people, value authentic connection with kids and their caregivers, and want to be part of a supportive team that genuinely cares about both clients and clinicians, we'd love to meet you.

True Living Counselling & Coaching is located in Okotoks, AB. We are seeking Registered Psychologists and/or Registered Clinical Social Workers to join our expanding team. To meet the growing demand for child and family services, we are looking for clinicians who can provide counselling to children, adolescents, parents, and families. We specialize in anxiety and trauma, and we are open to other areas of specialization and interest.

*Hours and Services*

We are looking for a minimum of 15+ client hours per week, across a minimum of 3 shifts per week, with the opportunity to increase to full-time hours. Shifts are available during days, evenings, and weekends. After-school and evening availability is a strong asset, since that is when many children and families are able to attend.

Services are offered in person and virtually.

*What Is Unique About Us?*

We offer an environment where you can be both independent and supported. We only hire when we expand, so openings are rare thanks to strong therapist retention. Therapists stay because they feel valued, can work independently, are part of an excellent team, work with amazing clients, and receive ongoing referrals.

Our space is built with children in mind, including two dedicated play therapy rooms and family therapy rooms. We provide the resources you need to run a successful private practice, without you having to handle the administrative and business side of things.

* Registration with the College of Alberta Psychologists and/or the Alberta College of Social Workers
* Professional liability insurance
* Up-to-date record keeping and compliance with agency standards for communication and billing
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain progress and strategies clearly to parents and caregivers
