Opportunity for a Registered Clinical Social Worker: Join a Creative, Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice!
Are you a Registered Clinical Social Worker seeking the freedom and autonomy of private practice but with fewer administrative demands? Do you value a collaborative, team-based approach and a chance to make a real impact on neurodiverse and mental health communities? If so, we have a unique opportunity for you!
About Us: TherapyWorks is a multidisciplinary practice with a vibrant team of Nurse Practitioner, Social Worker and Clinical Counsellors, Occupational Therapists, Youth Development Facilitators, and Specialized Educational Support Workers.

Our practice prioritizes a flexible, “meet the client where they’re at” approach, fostering creativity and neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed care.
Our clinical environment is supportive and lively. We value authenticity and encourage team members to bring their whole selves to work, creating a space where clinicians feel as supported as our clients.

This is a part-time independent contractor position with flexibility for increased hours if desired.
