Job Description & How to Apply Below
Psychiatrist - Calgary Institute of Counselling
About CIOC
Calgary Institute of Counselling is one of Calgary's leading multidisciplinary mental health clinics, home to a team of 25+ registered psychologists delivering a full range of psychological services to individuals, couples, and families. We are growing - with a new NW Calgary location opening in September - and are now expanding our clinical model to integrate psychiatry directly into our practice.
Our approach is built on true interdisciplinary collaboration. Psychologists and the incoming Psychiatrist will work with a shared patient population, coordinating care so that clients benefit from both psychological therapy and psychiatric expertise under one roof.
The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity for a Psychiatrist who wants to practice within a well-established, high-volume psychology clinic rather than build a practice from scratch. Our referral management system is fully operational - you will receive a steady stream of warm referrals from our existing psychologist team, who will continue to carry the therapeutic relationship while you provide psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and medication management.
Responsibilities
Conduct comprehensive psychiatric assessments for clients already engaged with our psychology team, as well as new referrals
Develop individualized treatment plans in coordination with the client's treating psychologist
Provide medication management and ongoing psychiatric follow-up
Assess and manage psychiatric risk, including crisis intervention when required
Participate in joint case consultations with psychologists to align therapeutic and psychiatric care
Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation in accordance with CPSA standards
Support the referral pipeline by providing clear, timely communication back to referring psychologists
Contribute to the integration of psychiatry services at our new NW Calgary location as it opens in September
Qualifications
MD with specialization in Psychiatry (General Psychiatry required; subspecialty training an asset)
Licensed or eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA)
Canadian Board Certification (FRCPC) preferred
Comfort working in an outpatient, psychology-forward clinical environment
Strong collaborative communication skills - you will be working closely with non-physician clinicians
Experience in outpatient or community-based settings preferred
Commitment to culturally sensitive, patient-centered care
What We Offer
Managed referral stream from a team of 25+ psychologists
Integrated care model with shared patients across psychology and psychiatry
A growing practice: second NW Calgary location opened in September 2026
Flexible scheduling to suit your practice model
Full administrative support including referral coordination and scheduling
Collaborative, respectful team culture with experienced mental health clinicians
Modern clinic facilities
We thank all applicants for their interest. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
