Join Our Team<\/span> <\/b><\/p>\n Healing Tree is a growing group practice in the West Island of Montreal, built around a shared commitment to trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, nervous system-aware, depth-oriented, IFS-anchored clinical work.<\/span><\/p>\n We are always looking for the right fit \u2014 licensed psychologists and psychotherapists who are drawn to complexity, invested in their own development, and looking for more than a place to see clients and go home.<\/span><\/p>\n If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you.<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Apply now<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”1090.9px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” max_width=”74%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n Our caseload is varied. Many of our clients are navigating complex presentations \u2014 trauma, dissociation, complex PTSD, neurodivergence, eating and body image concerns, abusive relationships \u2014 the kinds of cases that require real clinical depth and don’t fit neatly into a single diagnostic box.<\/p>\n We also work with the full range of everyday human struggles: depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties. A balanced caseload is a healthy one, and we think about it that way.<\/p>\n What our clients have in common is that they tend to be self-aware, motivated, and looking for something more than surface-level support. This is depth-oriented, long-term work \u2014 not brief intervention or symptom management. Whether the case is lighter or heavier, you’ll find it genuinely engaging.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for a caseload that will challenge and develop you, you’ll find it here.<\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n IFS is our primary clinical framework, and it runs through everything \u2014 case conceptualization, supervision, and how we understand our own countertransference. Beyond IFS, our team draws on somatic and sensory processing approaches, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and humanistic and person-centred frameworks.<\/p>\n We are IFS-primary but modality-curious and integrative. Clinicians are encouraged to pursue their own training interests, and we actively support emerging specializations through caseload matching and group learning.<\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n Ongoing supervision is a mandatory component of working at Healing Tree \u2014 and we think that’s a feature, not a limitation.<\/p>\n Supervision here is grounded in IFS, trauma-informed practice, and a core belief that the therapist’s internal state is the primary clinical instrument. That means we don’t separate clinical skill-building from personal development \u2014 the two are inseparable, and we work both.<\/p>\n In a field where fully licensed clinicians are often left to navigate complex cases entirely on their own, we believe that regular supervision is one of the most important things we can offer. It’s included at no cost.<\/p>\n What supervision looks like in practice:<\/b><\/p>\n Individual supervision<\/b> \u2014 weekly or biweekly depending on your caseload, at a ratio of 10:1. Sessions are provided by both co-directors, each bringing their own clinical depth and areas of expertise. This is a dedicated space to think through your cases, explore what’s being activated in you, and develop your clinical thinking \u2014 without the clock running on your own time or dime.<\/p>\n Biweekly group supervision<\/b> \u2014 two hours, open to all clinicians and strongly encouraged. It runs in two parts:<\/p>\n The first half is a structured case presentation. <\/b>Clinicians take turns presenting a single case they are actively following \u2014 not a summary, but a real clinical exploration, with the group thinking alongside them. This is where some of the richest learning happens.<\/p>\n The second half is typically a live IFS demonstration<\/b> \u2014 experiential, unscripted, and one of the most distinctive parts of how we learn together. Clinicians can volunteer to take on the role of either therapist or client, and the supervisors participate as well. We believe the richest learning happens when you experience the work from both sides \u2014 not just reading about technique or watching it demonstrated, but feeling what it’s like to be in the chair, and seeing how the work actually unfolds in a natural, real-time way. It’s as close to being in the therapy room as supervision gets.<\/p>\n When the group has other needs, this time can shift to didactic teaching on topics relevant to what the team is encountering<\/b> \u2014 changes in regulations, emerging clinical areas, or themes the group has requested, such as queer-affirming care, working with DID, or navigating complex ethical situations.<\/p>\n Group supervision is not mandatory for fully licensed clinicians \u2014 but those who attend consistently find it one of the most valuable parts of working here.<\/p>\n Ad-hoc consultation<\/b> \u2014 we are available between sessions for urgent clinical questions. You are not on your own with a difficult case.<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n We are a small, close-knit team \u2014 and we keep it that way on purpose. We are not a large, impersonal practice where clinicians are just names on a roster, and we are not a revolving door. We know everyone on our team, we stay engaged with how things are going, and we genuinely care about the people who work here.<\/p>\n We often joke that we are work wives and the team is our family \u2014 but we actually mean it. When we bring someone onto the team, we are not just hiring a clinician. We are adding someone to the Healing Tree family, and that’s exactly how we think about it in our interviews.<\/p>\n One of our clinicians put it simply: “We work together, but we’re humans together.”<\/i><\/p>\n There is clear leadership and shared clinical standards. We hold a high clinical bar, conduct professional growth conversations at regular intervals, and are direct when something needs to shift. But we hold that standard the way we ask our clinicians to hold their clients \u2014 honestly, and with genuine care for your growth.<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n Referrals are provided. <\/b>Clients come through the practice and are assigned based on fit, availability, and licensing status. You are not responsible for building your own caseload from scratch, although you are not prohibited from taking on private clients alongside ours.<\/p>\n Administrative support is in place.<\/b> Our client care coordinator handles intake calls, client assignment, billing administration, third-party payer setup, and administrative support for clinic operations. You manage your own session notes, scheduling for existing clients, and direct client communication \u2014 the rest is covered.<\/p>\n Compensation<\/b> is percentage-based and pay is biweekly.<\/p>\n Scheduling<\/b> is flexible and can include daytime, evening, and weekend hours.<\/p>\n Both in-person and virtual<\/b> work is available. Licensed clinicians who see clients in person do so from our centre \u2014 we have several fully furnished, soundproofed offices available at flexible rental rates.<\/p>\n
