Company: Toronto Relationship Clinic

Location: Virtual, licensed to practice in Ontario

Salary: Contractor rate commensurate with experience

Who We Are

Toronto Relationship Clinic (TRC) is a focused group practice of independent contractors who are radically anti-oppressive, abolitionist, and actively working towards decolonizing the mental health and justice space. We provide an intensive and structured treatment program for men who have sexually offended, whether or not charges have been laid. We offer trauma-focused collaborative care to survivors of sexual abuse. We provide a comprehensive framework for addressing sexual harm through a restorative and transformative justice lens that prioritizes relationship and connection in a way that is protective and empowering for victims while allowing for offenders to be held accountable.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking to hire, train, and develop a relationally-oriented Forensic Psychotherapist to join our exceptional clinical team.

In this position, you will be working primarily with men in Ontario who have perpetrated sexual harm or have been criminally charged with sexual offences, including offences against minors. This position can also include relational work with partners and families and/or survivors of sexual trauma. This position offers a unique opportunity to enter the highly specialized niche of forensic psychotherapy for sexual behaviours, and to build your private practice while being part of a supportive community.

We’re looking for Registered Psychotherapists, Registered Social Workers, Registered Marriage and Family Therapists, and other mental health professionals who are recognized and authorized to practice psychotherapy in Ontario, who are passionate about transformative justice for sexual harm, who are motivated to learn, and who have a long-term vision for professional growth. We are open to meeting qualified therapists from diverse backgrounds who are committed to providing high-quality, systems-oriented, and justice-centred care.

In essence, we are seeking top-notch clinicians who are passionate about mental health and transformative justice, and who are eager to be part of a growing collective. If you're looking for a flexible and collaborative environment to start and grow your practice alongside like-minded professionals, we’d love to hear from you.

• Provide 1:1 psychotherapy to clients
• Maintain accurate, clear, and timely client records, clinical notes, and other relevant data
• Attend weekly clinical and administrative supervision

• You have the capacity and drive to undergo an intensive training process.
• You want an entrepreneurial role, yearn for autonomy and crave the opportunity to network and collaborate with fellow clinicians.
• You aspire to build your own private practice with a structured vision for long-term success, but feel nervous about launching out on your own without support.
• Your passion for working with clients is matched by a commitment to ongoing learning, curiosity, and professional growth.
• You are affirming and experienced in working with marginalized communities, including but not limited to 2SLGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent individuals.

• A proven track record of implementing mental health initiatives and/or community development work that centres the dismantling of racism, anti-oppressive and anti-racist practices, and culturally responsive clinical care and its collective impact.
• Strong ability to integrate critical analysis, problem-solving skills, and creativity with justice-oriented, client-centred care.
• Ability to adapt and work effectively in a variety of settings, independently, collaboratively, and within diverse communities.
• Writing, marketing, and creative skills for blog content, social media, and other projects.
