Registered Psychologist, Registered Counsellor or Registered Social Worker – Adults, Couples & Families

Natural Psychology is a small private practice which specializes in integrated body and somatic psychotherapy for the treatment of trauma and other complex mental health issues.

We are looking for a Registered Psychologist, Registered Counsellor, or Registered Social Worker who would complement our team by bringing their own clinical interests, specialty, and knowledge to the practice. We welcome clinicians who are passionate about working with adults, couples, adolescents, children, and/or families and who are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-informed care while continuing to grow professionally.

What Makes Natural Psychology Different

Our practice is grounded in the belief that lasting healing occurs when we work with the whole person—not just symptoms. Our focus is on understanding the connection between the nervous system, the body, emotions, and lived experiences.

While many of our clients seek support for trauma, complex trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns, we welcome clinicians with complementary specialties who share our holistic philosophy of care.

We value curiosity, authenticity, collaboration, and a deep respect for each client's unique healing journey. We strive to create an environment where clinicians can connect, learn from one another, and maintain autonomy in their clinical work.

What We Offer

- Clinical mentorship and consultation.
- Flexible and negotiable working hours.
- A competitive associate compensation package with opportunities for growth.




- A bright and inviting counselling space in the heart of Saint Margarets Bay, featuring two private offices with beautiful views of the bay, a welcoming waiting area, kitchen, and free onsite parking.
- A supportive team culture that values collaboration, humour, authenticity, and helping one another through both the rewarding and challenging moments of clinical work.

Associates within the Natural Psychology team value

- Collaborating with other clinicians and contributing to a supportive professional community.
- Transparency, kindness, and open communication.
- Ongoing learning and skilled growth.
- Contributing to innovative services, workshops, or groups that complement traditional psychotherapy, such as breathwork, nature-based practices, somatic approaches, or other holistic offerings.
