Strong Referral Stream | Relational & Attachment-Focused Work | Supportive, Values-Led Virtual Team

Follow application steps below please!

Are you a relationally oriented therapist looking for a virtual practice where you can do meaningful clinical work, feel supported behind the scenes, and be part of a grounded, collaborative team?

Gather & Ground Wellness is a growing virtual counselling practice based in Vancouver, BC. Our clinicians are offered strong referrals, thoughtful administrative systems, and a leadership team that values connection, integrity, and sustainable practice. We are a modernized therapy clinic becoming known within the Vancouver community for relational, attachment-focused work.

As referrals continue to grow, we are most aligned with clinicians who are seeking stability and professional continuity rather than a short-term or transitional role. The right candidate is someone who can handle a consistent referral stream.

Who This Role Is Best For

You will likely thrive here if you:

• Enjoy working with relationship patterns, attachment, and trauma
• Are comfortable holding relational depth (with individuals and/or couples)
• Value autonomy with support (not micromanagement, not isolation)
• Appreciate flexibility and consistency
• Are seeking a practice where clinicians are respected as whole humans
• Want to grow within a virtual model rather than using it as a short-term stop
• Are open to feedback and the ongoing evolution of your therapy skills.
• Are interested in further specialized training.

What This Role May Not Be a Fit For

• Clinicians seeking a short-term or highly casual caseload
• Those looking for a temporary placement while transitioning
• Therapists who are not comfortable with feedback or ongoing professional growth
• Those not interested in participating in team connection both virtually and in person
• Someone who does primarily non-directive therapy (this doesn't align with our client base).

Client Focus Areas

Our client population commonly presents with:

• Couples & Marriage challenges
• Attachment challenges
• Trauma and relational wounds
• Anxiety, life transitions, and low self-worth
• Grief & Loss
• Parenting challenges
• Divorce & Separation
• Intimacy challenges and desire discrepancies

Time Commitment & Structure

• Minimum 15 clinical hours per week, with additional consult times to offer.
• Either 3 evenings available (until 7pm) or two evenings and one weekend day is required to meet client demand
• Fully virtual role (clients primarily located in BC)
• Contract-based position with flexibility and autonomy

This role is best suited for clinicians who want consistency and growth within a flexible framework.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Counselling, Psychology, or a related human services field
• Registered or eligible for registration as RCC or MSW
• In good standing with BCACC or equivalent regulatory body
• Training in one or more evidence-based modalities (e.g., EMDR, EFT, CBT, Somatic, Family Systems, Narrative)
• Comfort working virtually and using modern practice tools (Jane, Google Workspace, Slack)
• Based in the Greater Vancouver area (preferred, to support in-person team connection)

Compensation

• 60% split to contractor / 40% to clinic
• Competitive session rates aligned with market standards
• All credit card processing fees covered by the clinic

What We Provide

We intentionally remove as much administrative burden as possible so clinicians can focus on clinical work:

• Dedicated administrative support (referrals, billing, failed payments, no-show follow-ups)
• Jane App subscription (booking, billing, video, reports)
• SEO, Google Ads, and marketing support aligned with your offerings
• Curated clinician bio with SEO strategy embedded
• G&G email address, phone line, and branded materials
• Access to established clinical forms, policies, and procedures
• Monthly team meetings and peer consultation
• In-house training opportunities and clinical resources
• In-person team socials 2–3 times per year (for Vancouver-based clinicians)
• A collaborative, respectful, and grounded team culture
• Referrals are centrally managed and aligned with your scope, availability, and clinical interests.

Contract Details

• Initial 6-month contract, with strong potential for renewal if it mutually feels like the right fit (then up to 1 year contract)
• Designed for clinicians interested in building continuity and longevity within the practice
