We are hiring a Registered Psychologist or Registered Social Worker. Come join our growing team of specialized child therapists at Kids Reconnect and couples therapists at Couples Reconnect!

We encourage a diverse pool of candidates to apply.

Research has found that many stellar candidates (typically, women or diverse candidates) do not apply for jobs at which they would excel unless they are 100% certain that they fulfill all the criteria listed in a job posting. That means the world is missing out on some outstanding talent.

Although we cannot change that everywhere, we want to do what we can to bring about change in our tiny corner of the world. We encourage you to apply (for this job, or any other amazing job at
which you feel you could be amazing) if you fulfill the essential requirements.

Even if you are not a registered psychologist or a registered social worker (which are essential qualifications for this role), you can still be part of changing the world of work for someone: if you know a person who might be interested in applying for this or any great role in which you feel they would excel, please share the posting with them and encourage them to apply. A little encouragement from someone who believes in you can go a long way.

Could this be a terrific job for you or a terrific therapist in your network? Click on the links below to find out more about this job posting and why our team is super special:

Happy birthday, Canada! 💙

Growing older offers us an opportunity to look back and grow our understanding, compassion, and connection to each other. To dig deeper into our personal histories and our collective history as a nation.

For some of us, the conversation of reconciliation is newer. As settlers and as mental health professionals living on this beautiful land, we seek to listen and learn with a spirit of kindness, empathy, and reconnection to our past. We have some terrible things to acknowledge in our past, but we also have some things to be proud of in Canada. Greater understanding brings us closer as humans who support each other to heal our hearts and grow together.

Here are some resources and further reading:
• The University of Alberta's Indigenous Canada course, which explores the different histories and contemporary perspectives of Indigenous peoples living in Canada.

• 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act. Joseph, Bob. 2018.

• Truth and Reconciliation Commission Reports by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). These digital copies can be accessed or duplicated at no charge from the NCTR’s website.

• White Fragility, by Robin DiAngelo.

• Psychology’s Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Report. A report of the Canadian Psychological Association and the Psychology Foundation of Canada, 2018.

Happy International Women's Day from our (women-led!) team of amazing leaders.

Today we are grateful for all the wonderful work that has been done to date. Although we have come a long way, there is still much to be done to achieve diverse, inclusive leadership in the workforce. And we are here for it.

We are heartbroken and horrified over the situation that is unfolding in Ukraine and Russia.

Our conscience compels us to state our support for the extraordinary courage of the people of Ukraine, who are facing an invasion and a humanitarian crisis.

As psychologists, we understand that conflict and human behaviour are complex. War is an extreme conflict; it is complex and tragic on a global scale.

The targeting of civilians in Ukraine directly devastates Ukrainian people as victims of an unprovoked attack.

It is challenging for our hearts and brains to simultaneously hold two thoughts that seem opposed. American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote about the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. The term for this is dialectics; this is where two seemingly opposite things are true at the same time.

The tragedy of war times is so vast that it does not stop at the border. The horror of this war impacts the Ukrainian people. It also impacts the lives of ordinary people in Russia and other countries.

Here in Canada, we are hearing from kids—of Ukrainian heritage, of Russian heritage, and of both— who are expressing confusion and strong emotions, including deep sadness.

During times of tragedy, ordinary people are called to demonstrate extraordinary courage and compassion. We stand in compassion and strong support of the people of Ukraine and to people worldwide, especially kids, whose lives are being torn apart by this tragedy.

Our broken hearts go out to you all.
