Independent Contractor | The Mindful Loft | Ottawa / Ontario

The Mindful Loft is looking for a Registered Psychotherapist to join our growing practice.

We work with individuals and couples navigating betrayal trauma, infidelity, childhood relational wounds, attachment patterns, relationship anxiety, emotional shutdown, conflict, trust repair, people-pleasing, over-functioning, separation, and major life transitions.

We are looking for a therapist who is comfortable working with both individuals and couples and is interested in building their work within a relationally focused practice.

About the Role

Clients may be seeking support with:

- betrayal trauma and infidelity
- trust and relationship repair
- childhood relational wounds
- attachment and relationship patterns
- anxiety, people-pleasing, and over-functioning
- emotional shutdown or difficulty expressing needs
- conflict and emotional disconnection
- separation, divorce, grief, or major life transitions
- intimacy and relationship concerns

The mix of individual and couples work will vary depending on client needs, clinical fit, therapist availability, and scope of competence.

Who We’re Looking For

You may be a valuable fit if you:

- have experience providing both individual and couples psychotherapy
- have a relational, attachment-informed, or trauma-informed approach
- have relevant training such as EFT, Gottman Method, attachment-based therapy, trauma therapy, or another evidence-informed approach
- are comfortable working with betrayal, infidelity, trust injuries, and relationship distress
- understand how childhood relational experiences can affect adult relationships
- can work with strong emotions, ambivalence, grief, anger, shame,



defensiveness, and emotional shutdown
- value accountability, boundaries, pacing, emotional safety, and client autonomy
- can appropriately assess risk and recognize when couples therapy may not be appropriate
- value consultation, continued learning, and collaborative practice

Applicants should already feel reasonably comfortable working independently with both individuals and couples within their scope of competence.

- be authorized to practise psychotherapy in Ontario
