About Therapy Villa
Therapy Villa is a psychology and psychotherapy clinic with locations in Etobicoke and North York, working with adults, couples, families and adolescents, with particular depth in trauma, mood and anxiety.
The role
Therapy Villa has grown faster than our senior clinicians can keep up with. We're looking for a Registered Psychotherapist in independent practice to carry their own caseload and support our growing team of RP (Qualifying) clinicians through clinical supervision and case consultation. You'd be another senior clinical voice on a team of about 15 clinicians.
The work
- Therapy with adults, couples, families and adolescents, within your training
- Clinical supervision of 2-4 RP (Qualifying) clinicians, if you're open to it, paid separately
- Talking through hard cases with peers, and helping shape how we supervise
The role is hybrid, so you can see clients on site in Etobicoke, North York and remotely. We also hold regular team meetings with our clinicians. That's time with peers, because this work can be isolating.
How the role grows
- Availability for at least 15 hours a week, with room to grow more
- Our admin team books new clients into your calendar, so you don't need to bring your own
- You meet each supervisee before taking them on
What's taken care of by us
- Intake, booking, reminders and billing
- Following up on payments
- Marketing
- Office rent and upkeep of the physical space
- Other day-to-day administrative tasks
Compensation
$100 - $130 per client session, depending on your experience and the session fee. Supervision is paid separately.
Where it can go
As we grow, each service will need a Clinical Lead, such as anxiety, and training and coordination for new interns and therapists. Some of these are still being built, and you are welcome to contribute in the build. Lead work is paid separately. If this works for both of us, we discuss that at six months, against criteria we agree on mutually.
You might be
- An RP in an agency, hospital or school board role who misses having your own caseload
- In solo practice and tired of doing your own scheduling at 9 pm
- Someone who enjoys supervising RP (Qualifying) clinicians along with your own client sessions
What you need
- Registration with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) as a Registered Psychotherapist, with the independent practice requirement met
- At least five years of extensive clinical experience, so you meet CRPO's definition of a clinical supervisor
- Use of evidence-based therapy approaches. Training in trauma-informed modalities, such as EMDR, somatic therapies or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), is an asset, as many of our clients look for these
- Your own professional liability insurance
This role supervises RP (Qualifying) clinicians only. Psychologists and Psychological Associates in supervised practice are supervised under CPBAO, and therefore outside the scope of this role.
Assets
Experience supervising RP (Qualifying) clinicians, training in clinical supervision, and evening availability
