Couples Therapist (RP or MSW)

Vaughan / King City, ON Contract $90 – $132 an hour

You’ve built your experience. Now find a practice that values it.

Purposeful Change Psychotherapy is looking for an experienced Couples Therapist to join our growing practice.

We’re looking for a clinician who has developed genuine depth in couples and relationship therapy, someone who understands that what happens between two people is rarely just about communication. Beneath recurring conflict, disconnection, betrayal, or intimacy concerns are often deeper patterns shaped by attachment, individual histories, identity, trauma, and the ways each partner has learned to protect themselves within relationships.

You know how to work with that complexity.

And you know how to create a therapeutic space where both partners can feel understood while still being challenged to look honestly at the patterns keeping them stuck.

If that sounds like the kind of work you care deeply about, we’d like to meet you.

About Purposeful Change

At Purposeful Change, we believe good therapy should lead somewhere.

Our approach is customized, collaborative, and grounded in helping people understand what is keeping them stuck and create meaningful change in their lives and relationships.

We value clinical excellence without rigidity, warmth, and evidence-informed care that recognizes the complexity of each person’s history, relationships, culture, identity, and lived experience.

Our therapists bring different areas of expertise and different approaches to their work, and we share a commitment to thoughtful, purposeful therapy and to continuing to grow as clinicians.

We’ve created a practice where experienced therapists have the autonomy to do meaningful clinical work while still feeling connected, respected, and supported.

The Work You’ll Do

As a Couples Therapist at Purposeful Change, you’ll work with couples navigating a wide range of relationship challenges and complex relational dynamics.

Your work may include supporting couples experiencing:

  • Recurring conflict and communication breakdowns
  • Emotional disconnection and loss of intimacy
  • Attachment injuries and insecure relationship patterns
  • Infidelity, betrayal, and rebuilding trust
  • High-conflict relationship dynamics
  • Parenting styles
  • Differences in needs, values, expectations, or relational patterns
  • The impact of trauma and individual histories on the relationship
  • Intimacy and sexual concerns
  • Separation, discernment, or uncertainty about the future of the relationship

You’ll be trusted to draw from your training, experience, and clinical judgment to develop treatment that reflects the needs of the couple in front of you.

You will also have the opportunity to build your individual psychotherapy caseload. This will offer you the opportunity to build experience in a diverse population of needs as well as build a niche area of practice.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You…

You see couples therapy as a specialization, not simply individual therapy with two people in the room.

You’re able to hold complexity without rushing to determine who is right or wrong. You can recognize the patterns underneath conflict, remain grounded when emotions run high, and create enough safety for honesty, accountability, vulnerability, and change.

You value your own professional and clinical development. You value consultation, advanced training, reflection, and learning from other thoughtful clinicians.

You’ll need:

  • Current registration in good standing as a Registered Psychotherapist (RP, RPQ) with the CRPO or Registered Social Worker (MSW) with the OCSWSSW
  • Clinical experience providing couples and relationship therapy
  • Training in one or more established couples therapy approaches
  • Experience working with complex relational dynamics, including high conflict, attachment injuries, betrayal, communication breakdowns, and emotional disconnection
  • Strong clinical judgment and the ability to work autonomously
  • A commitment to ethical, culturally responsive, inclusive care
  • Availability to provide in-person psychotherapy from our Vaughan and/or King City locations
