Therapist

We're Hiring : Passionate Therapist [Social Worker or Psychologist] as an Independent Contractor for Inperson Therapy in Our Collaborative Group Practice in Olds, Central Alberta

WHY DID YOU BECOME A THERAPIST?

You LOVE doing therapy! You feel tremendous privilege in being able to connect with people on a deep level knowing that oftentimes you are the only person who sees their pain, knows their hidden story, and believes in their worth. The positive changes your clients have made as a result of your work together fill your heart with joy and a deep sense of purpose. Because you love doing therapy and you’re really good at it, there have been many times when you can’t believe you’re being paid to do this work!

Wait, I Did Not Think Becoming A Therapist Would Be Like This.

But lately, those thoughts have been less frequent. Maybe it’s because the caseload you’re expected to carry is high, you feel like you’re drowning in paperwork, there’s no flexibility in your schedule, you don’t get to work with your ideal population, and / or you feel undervalued and lonely. All of these factors are impinging on your love of doing therapy, and you want the joy back.

There is a way out; you can have it all with us. You could do the clinical work that you love without the burnout. We are looking for a Registered Social Worker or Psychologist to join our private practice.

There Is Hope!

WHO WE ARE

Canopy Cove is a boutique therapy practice dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families heal from trauma, strengthen their relationships, and create lasting resilience.

We provide an integrative and deeply personalized approach to mental health. Our collaborative team approach allows therapists to work together to ensure the best outcomes for our clients while simultaneously preventing burnout in our clinicians.

We are a team that chooses to risk, play, be messy and not be afraid to make mistakes in our learning. We encourage, walk beside and support each other to grow out of our comfort zones. We show up to celebrate each other and to be a soft landing place when this work and world are hard.

Our work is rooted in transformation—helping people feel lighter, at ease, and at home in their bodies and relationships. We want parents to say their home feels peaceful, couples to feel truly heard, and individuals to reconnect with their sense of self.
