• Formal Trauma-Focused Training: Candidates must be formally trained in a trauma-focused therapeutic modality such as EMDR, DBR, OEI, IFS, AEDP or a comparable approach. This includes holding a valid professional registration and completing recognized training programs that offer in-person or live interactive sessions, often over several days. Formal training should include theoretical education, case study exploration and supervised practice hours to ensure hands-on experience.
  
  Formal training further requires that practitioners demonstrate competency by passing skills assessments or evaluations and maintaining adherence to modality-specific ethical guidelines. Engagement in ongoing education is essential, and formal training may require membership in relevant professional organizations — EMDR training, for example, must be EMDRIA-approved.
  
  This qualification contrasts with informal training, where a clinician may have experience with a specific model of care but has been self-taught or developed their skill set through pre-recorded seminars that do not require the same standard of supervised practice and evaluation.
• Applied Trauma Experience: A minimum of one year of applied clinical experience using that formal trauma training directly with clients.
• Educational Background: A minimum of a master’s degree in clinical counselling, counselling psychology, social work, psychology or a closely related field is required. This academic foundation is essential for providing high-quality therapeutic services to our clients.
• Clinical Experience: Candidates must have at least two years of clinical, client-facing experience following completion of their master’s degree, working in depth with trauma populations. This experience is vital for ensuring that practitioners have the expertise to support clients in their recovery journeys in our trauma-focused clinic.
• Professional Registration: Candidates must be actively registered and in good standing with an appropriate regulating body in British Columbia that is recognized by insurance providers — BCACC (RCC), BCCSW (RSW), CPBC (R.Psych) or an equivalent. This registration is crucial for maintaining professional standards and ensuring that practitioners are eligible to provide reimbursable services.
• Location and In-Person Availability: Candidates must reside in British Columbia within commuting distance of Vancouver, and be able to offer in-person sessions in addition to online work. We are particularly interested in providers with evening and weekend availability.
• Professional Liability Insurance: Contractors are required to hold and maintain their own current professional liability insurance.
• Independent Contractor Model: This is a contractor position rather than an employee position. Candidates should have experience working within, or be comfortable operating under, an independent contractor arrangement — including responsibility for their own invoicing, taxes and benefits.
• Minimum Caseload Commitment: The ability to commit to a minimum of 15 client-facing hours per week.
• Eligibility to Work in Canada: Candidates must hold legal authorization to work in Canada at the time of hire. We are unable to offer immigration sponsorship.
• Criminal Record Check: A criminal record check, including a vulnerable sector check, is a condition of hire.

• Independently provide comprehensive, trauma-informed clinical services — including assessment, treatment planning, therapy, progress evaluation, and discharge — for clients referred to you.
• Maintain complete, timely and accurate clinical documentation and records.
• Document and report on cases for clinical and administrative case conferencing and management.
• Actively participate in group and individual professional consultation.
• Engage in ongoing professional development and training.
