Couples Therapist

Company Description  Inner Voice Therapy supports individuals and couples in breaking cycles of self-doubt, shame, and guilt by helping them reconnect with their authentic inner voice. Care is grounded in evidence-based approaches and provided in multiple languages, with tools tailored to clients’ cultural values and intercultural identities. The practice offers a safe space for clients to explore conditioning and patterns that no longer serve them and to step into a self-concept proudly shaped by their heritage.

Inner Voice Therapy is committed to the well-being of both clients and clinicians, recognizing clinicians’ emotional and mental health as essential to providing high-quality care.

Role Description  The Couples Therapist will provide couples counseling with a focus on relationship dynamics, communication, and conflict resolution, using evidence-based and culturally responsive modalities. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting intake assessments, developing treatment plans, delivering psychotherapy sessions, maintaining accurate clinical documentation, and collaborating with other providers as needed. This is a contract, hybrid role based in Mississauga, ON, with a combination of in-person sessions and some work-from-home flexibility for virtual appointments, documentation, and team meetings.
