SAFE HAVEN COUNSELLING
Join a Thriving Private Practice and Make a Meaningful Impact
Are you a Registered Clinical Counsellor or Social Worker looking to grow your private practice as an independent contractor? Do you value deep, experiential work that fosters real transformation in your clients’ lives?
Private practice can at times feel isolating and overwhelming. As such, we offer a supportive, warm and dynamic environment with ongoing learning opportunities and team support.
We welcome expressions of interest from skilled and compassionate therapists who want to be support clients both in-person and online. Our practice provides a warm, professional home where therapists can thrive while making a real difference in the lives of adults and youth.
Our Approach
While our current counsellors each bring their own rich backgrounds and preferred modalities to the team, we specialize in relational and experiential therapy, working with individuals and couples from an attachment-focused lens. Our therapeutic models include:
✔ Internal Family Systems (IFS)
✔ Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
✔ Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry
✔ Gottman Method Couples Therapy
✔ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
✔ Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
We pride ourselves on meeting clients exactly where they are, offering a space of compassionate connection where healing happens not just through words, but through deep, felt experiences that can be integrated into everyday life.
This is a hybrid opportunity, with both online and part-time in-person sessions available, providing flexibility while maintaining a strong sense of community and support.
