Overview
At Attachment Healing Space, we believe that healing happens in the context of safe, compassionate, and secure relationships. Our practice specializes in helping adults navigate early attachment ruptures, developmental trauma, complex PTSD, and chronically dysregulated nervous systems.
We are actively adapting to better support our neurodivergent clientele, specifically addressing executive functioning, sensory processing and integration, and tailored behavioural support. We are striving to holistically support our clients who identify within subgroups including ADHD, AuDHD, ASD, HSP, and PTSD. In addition to our trauma-specific care, we recognize a vital need to bridge this gap in specialized support, helping our clients navigate and ease the tangible barriers of daily living. We are looking for our a contract clinician who shares a passion for trauma-informed healing and values their own nervous system care as much as their clients'.
Our Ideal Candidate(s):
- Master’s Level Credentials: You are a Registered Social Worker (Clinical Specialist), Registered Psychologist, Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT), and/or Occupational Therapist.
- Professional License: You maintain current licensing and are a member in good standing with your provincial regulatory body with an ability to obtain professional liability insurance.
- Experience: You bring a minimum of two years of experience in a counselling/therapy setting, comfortably providing individual and/or couples therapy to adults.
- Therapeutic Orientation: Your practice is rooted in attachment and somatic principles. You are either trained or actively pursuing training/interest in modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS/Parts Work), EMDR, Ego State Therapy, DARe, Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. Although we are deeply rooted in attachment-focused care, we are curious about other practice approaches and modalities you might offer.
- Neurodivergent Support: Your expertise may also include evidence-based behavioural modification, sensory integration, and executive functioning support as it relates to neurodivergence and post-traumatic stress recovery.
- Shared Values: You are self-led and comfortable navigating daily operations independently, yet you value vulnerability, lifelong learning, and collaborative case consultation.
