Build Your Mental Health Private Practice Within Our Supportive Collective (with optional neurofeedback training opportunity to expand your offerings)

Great Lakes Wellness Collective (GLWC) is a growing counselling and neurofeedback private practice serving Lambton County, with locations in Point Edward and Petrolia. We are excited to welcome a kind, values-aligned therapist to our team of 16+ clinicians currently working with children, teens, and adults. If you are someone who prefers to focus on clinical work and client relationships rather than the operational demands of running a business, this role may be well suited to you. You’ll be supported by a thoughtful, behind-the-scenes team so you can stay grounded in client care.

This is primarily an in-person role, at our Point Edward office. Experience working with children and/or youth is considered an asset. An evening and weekend shift is necessary to meet client needs.

We invite you to reach out to inquire about office hours availability, as rooms are becoming more limited. Evening and weekend time-block required.

Addition Service Offering & Revenue Stream Opportunity: By joining, you’ll have the opportunity to become trained in our Signature Neurofeedback Program, including neurofeedback systems, tracking forms, intake packages and one-to-one training on clinical application and use. Therapists who complete an external two-day certification program and then welcome to integrate this brain-based modality into their work to support clients in nervous system regulation, resilience, and stress management.

Our Mission is Two-Fold

First, we are passionate about local mental health and our hope is to support individuals through the waves of life. Secondly, We are dedicated to supporting therapists through a turn-key, concierge style support model that takes care of the behind-the-scenes work, allowing therapists to build their dream practices with a full supportive administrative team behind them. This model supports therapists in providing client-centred care that fosters meaningful engagement and long-term, impactful change.

Our values guide everything we do. We lead with kindness, collaboration, curiosity, integrity, and humanness, with a deep commitment to thoughtful, high-quality and meaningful clinical care.
