Careers · Believe Therapy & Coaching

Work that matters.
A team that supports you.

We are a small, intentional practice in Westboro, Ottawa looking for therapists who want to do this work with depth, integrity, and genuine care.

Who We Are

Believe Therapy & Coaching is a boutique private practice in Westboro, Ottawa founded by Amelia Dowell, RP. We offer individual therapy, couples therapy, trauma-focused work, and clinical supervision — in-person and virtually across Ontario.

We are small by design. We are not a high-volume referral mill. Every clinician on our team carries a carefully managed caseload, receives regular clinical supervision, and operates within a culture of genuine professional support. Quality of care is the only metric we track.

What We Look For

We are selective because the quality of care we offer depends entirely on who is in the room. We look for therapists who are:

  • Registered Psychotherapists (RP) or RP(Q) in good standing with CRPO
  • Trained in at least one evidence-based modality (CBT, ACT, EMDR, EFT, DBT, or similar)
  • Genuinely warm, curious, and invested in the therapeutic relationship
  • Comfortable working autonomously while remaining open to supervision and collaboration
  • Committed to ongoing professional development and clinical excellence
  • Aligned with our values: non-judgment, honesty, client autonomy, and lasting change

Areas of Particular Interest

While we welcome strong clinicians with a range of specialties, we are especially interested in hearing from therapists with training or experience in:

  • Trauma and EMDR (EMDR training an asset)
  • Perinatal and postpartum mental health
  • ADHD and neurodivergence in adults
  • Couples therapy (EFT training an asset)
  • Intuitive eating and body image
  • Motor vehicle accident (MVA) billing and rehabilitation

What We Offer

Flexible Scheduling

Build a caseload that fits your life. Part-time and full-time arrangements available. We don't dictate your hours.

Clinical Supervision

Regular individual and group supervision with Amelia Dowell, RP. A genuine investment in your clinical growth — not a checkbox.

Referral Pipeline

We generate consistent client inquiries. You won't be left to build a caseload from scratch. Warm referrals matched to your specialty.

Administrative Support

Scheduling, billing, and intake handled through our system. You focus on the clinical work — we handle the rest.

Competitive Fee Split

We offer a competitive percentage of session fees. Compensation is discussed openly during the hiring process.

Collegial Team

A small team where you're known by name, not just your caseload. We consult, support, and celebrate together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you hire new graduates or RP(Q)s?+
Yes. We welcome applications from RP(Q)s who are newly registered and working toward full RP status. We provide meaningful clinical supervision that counts toward your supervised practice hours, and we genuinely invest in the development of junior clinicians.
Is this an employee or contractor position?+
Therapists at Believe Therapy & Coaching are independent contractors. You maintain your own professional liability insurance (required), set your own schedule, and operate with professional autonomy within our shared values framework.
What does the hiring process look like?+
After reviewing your application, we'll schedule an informal phone or video call with Amelia. If there's a mutual fit, we move to a more in-depth conversation about your practice, approach, and goals. We aim for a clear, respectful process without unnecessary steps.
Can I build a mixed in-person and virtual caseload?+
Yes. Our office in Westboro is available for in-person sessions and we offer secure virtual sessions through our platform. Many of our therapists carry a blend of both, which we strongly support.
You deserve a practice that supports you.

Let's build something
meaningful together.
