Job Description
Anderson Therapy Services (ATS) is currently seeking full-time Registered Psychotherapists for our Mental Health Team as the demand for our services continues to grow. ATS provides child-led services where we focus on highlighting strengths to empower the individual to overcome the obstacles that prevent them from achieving their full potential in school and in community. Currently, we offer services to the Dundas and surrounding areas, but most of ATS’ clientele stems from contracts with Indigenous communities across Ontario, Nunavut, and Quebec. Due to the nature of our work, the team at ATS highly valorizes partnership, integrity, compassion, and innovation. We believe in a collaborative approach to provide caring whereby the ATS team works with Northern and Southern clients to create innovative and personalized therapy services for people of all ages and places, including locally, across Canada, and internationally. In addition to the high-quality service, we provide in our clinic, we use advanced technology to conduct online therapy sessions, reaching clients in their most convenient location. Our proven approach is far from one-size fits all, which is why our team is seeking equally creative and innovative applicants.
At Anderson Therapy Services, employee satisfaction is one of the top priorities. Hence, we foster a collaborative cross-disciplinary work environment with job flexibility and opportunities for career development to ensure our team is supported. Clinicians at ATS have the opportunity work either remotely or in a hybrid model of remote and in-clinic services delivery. Clinicians are also able to participate in trips to the communities with whom they work to allow for greater connection between the community, the child, and the clinician. If you are passionate about being part of a multidisciplinary team, possess strong critical thinking skills, and are motivated to learn, then this is the job for you.
