Minimum Requirements:

Interested candidates must be registered with their respective regulatory college (i.e., CRPO, OCSWSSW, CPO) and be able to practice psychotherapy in Ontario. Whether you are a seasoned therapist or a newly graduated therapist in the process of becoming licensed or registered—you are invited to apply.

Before applying, candidates are asked to read the "Our Values", "How we do Therapy", and the “Diversity” pages on our website, bbtherapy.ca. It is important that these values and general approaches are in alignment with those of our therapists.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate can work with individuals, couples, and/or families, and can work in-person. Candidates that do not offer all three modalities and/or can only work remotely are still encouraged to apply, especially candidates that are interested in offering more of these in the future.

Ideal candidates are kind, warm, supportive, positive, amicable, and are passionate about helping clients heal, grow, and connect. Ideal candidates work from a strength-based perspective, are anti-oppressive, non-directive, systemic-relational in their thinking, appreciate the importance of intersectionality, as well as the importance of relationships for well-being.

Because we highly value diversity, therapistsare also invited to apply if they have any special insight or experience working with clients in a different language, or with clients belonging to a particular cultural group, faith group, or any other identity or intersectionality. However, this is not a requirement.

Seasoned therapists as well as newly registered therapists are all welcome to apply. We may also be able to accommodate therapists who already have their own existing private practice and are interested in merging with our practice.

1. Our Mississauga location (close to Square One)

2. Our Toronto location (Bay and Bloor)

About Building Bridges Psychotherapy:

Founded on World Mental Health Day (Oct 10) in 2020 by Justin the Therapist, we are now one of the largest practices in Ontario. We are a diverse team of relational therapists that believe that healing happens through connection. We help our clients heal and grow by working on their relationships—not only romantic and familial relationships, but relationships with their communities, their cultures, their spirituality, and most importantly the relationship they have with themselves.

As for workplace culture, we believe that therapist well-being is key to providing quality service to our clients. Put simply, we believe that happy therapists do great therapy.

We believe that diversity is our strength, and we are committed to anti-oppressive practice. We are collaborative, diverse, post-modern, anti-oppressive, strength-based, and relational therapists aiming to make a positive difference in the communities we serve.
