Why Join Building Bridges Psychotherapy?
We value providing high quality therapy to clients and believe that healing happens through connection. Be part of a team where everyone truly cares about helping the world be a better place.
- Your well-being as a staff member is prioritized. Our philosophy within the practice is “Happy therapists do great therapy”. We do our best to take care of you, so you can take care of your clients.
We are a diverse, inclusive, and fun team of professionals. We support and connect with one another through peer consultation, social events, and one-to-one mentoring and coaching.
We strive to match roles and projects with the interests of our staff, as we believe that if a staff member is doing something they’ll enjoy, they’ll do it well.
Let us know if you are looking for full-time, part-time, or flexible hours! We’ll do our best to accommodate.
Most of our roles allow you to work from home, most of the time if not the whole time.
We also offer health benefits to our full-time staff! Our benefits plan includes paramedical (e.g., psychotherapy, massage therapy, physiotherapy, naturopathy), dental, drugs, vision, and more.
There are ample opportunities to grow in the company, as additional roles (including management positions) tend to be hired internally!
Join our practice and learn why we are one of the fastest growing therapy practices in Ontario, and are currently one of the largest practices by quantity of therapists and quantity of in-person locations!
Minimum Requirements
Depending on the role, your experience and education should match what you’re hoping to do. For example, if you’re hoping to work or volunteer in a client-facing role, it would make sense for you to have some sort of training and/or experience in the fields of psychology or mental health. All are encouraged to apply! Selected candidates will be contacted for an interview.
Before applying, candidates are asked to read the “Our Values“, “How we do Therapy“, and the “Diversity & LGBTQ+” pages. It is important that these values and general approaches are in alignment with those of our therapists.
The Ideal Candidate
Relational Therapy and In-Person
The ideal candidate can work with individuals, couples, and/or families, and can work in-person. Candidates that do not offer all three modalities and/or can only work remotely are still encouraged to apply, especially candidates that are interested in offering more of these in the future.
Opportunities for All Experience Levels
Seasoned therapists as well as newly registered therapists are all welcome to apply. We may also be able to accommodate therapists who already have their own existing private practice and are interested in merging with our practice.
Diversity and Inclusivity
Because we highly value diversity, therapists are also invited to apply if they have any special insight or experience working with clients in a different language, or with clients belonging to a particular cultural group, faith group, or any other identity or intersectionality. However, this is not a requirement.
Personality and Professional Orientation
Ideal candidates are kind, warm, supportive, positive, amicable, and are passionate about helping clients heal, grow, and connect. Ideal candidates work from a strength-based perspective, are anti-oppressive, non-directive, systemic-relational in their thinking, appreciate the importance of intersectionality, as well as the importance of relationships for well-being.

About Building Bridges Psychotherapy
Founded on World Mental Health Day (Oct 10) in 2020 by Justin the Therapist, we are now one of the largest practices in Ontario. We are a diverse team of relational therapists that believe that healing happens through connection. We help our clients heal and grow by working on their relationships—not only romantic and familial relationships, but relationships with their communities, their cultures, their spirituality, and most importantly the relationship they have with themselves.
As for workplace culture, we believe that therapist well-being is key to providing quality service to our clients. Put simply, we believe that happy therapists do great therapy.
We believe that diversity is our strength, and we are committed to anti-oppressive practice. We are collaborative, diverse, post-modern, anti-oppressive, strength-based, and relational therapists aiming to make a positive difference in the communities we serve.
Our Locations
We proudly have many in-person locations for our therapists to see clients. Therapists who wish to only work remotely are also encouraged to apply!
