About Riverwise Psychological Services
Riverwise Psychological Services is a family-friendly psychology clinic providing a range of in-person services in Barrie, Ontario. We also offer assessment services in Muskoka and Keswick and provide virtual services across Ontario. In addition to serving families privately, we partner with a variety of community organizations and funding sources, allowing us to make services accessible to a broader range of children, adolescents, and families.
At Riverwise, we believe that children and adolescents thrive when they are well understood and supported. Many of the families we serve seek support and services related to learning, development, anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioural concerns, and overall mental health and well-being.
We are currently seeking an experienced Psychologist or Psychological Associate to provide a combination of assessment and intervention services in Barrie and/or Muskoka.

The successful candidate will have experience assessing and diagnosing children and adolescents with cognitive, learning, developmental, social-emotional, and behavioural challenges. The successful candidate will also have experience providing psychotherapy for a range of presenting challenges, using a family-centered approach that actively involves parents and caregivers in supporting intervention goals.
