Registered Psychotherapist / Registered Social Worker
Resilience First — a J&K Mental Health company
Kingston, ON · In-person · Independent Contractor · Flexible full- or part-time hours
Resilience First is a specialist trauma-informed service supporting first responders, military members, veterans, and their families. We're growing our team and looking for a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) or Registered Social Worker (RSW) who wants to specialize in trauma work with this population — without giving up the stability of a larger practice behind them.
This is a contractor role with real flexibility: build the caseload and schedule that works for you, backed by a full referral pipeline, an established brand, and a large multidisciplinary team for consultation and support. If you'd like more structure and predictability alongside your specialty work, we can also offer a hybrid caseload split between Resilience First and our sister practice, J&K Mental Health.
What you'll do
- Provide individual (and where applicable, couple or family) psychotherapy to first responders, military members, veterans, and their families
- Deliver trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment tailored to the operational stress and occupational culture of this population
- Build your clinical skill and cultural competency in working with first responder/military communities, with support from senior clinicians
- Maintain clear, timely clinical documentation
- Collaborate with a large, supportive multidisciplinary team through regular case consultation
What Resilience First offers
- A steady stream of referrals — no cold-calling, marketing, or chasing intakes
- Full control over your own schedule and caseload size
- A large team of clinicians for consultation, peer support, and clinical advice
- A genuine specialty focus: trauma and first responder/military-connected cultural competency
- The option of a hybrid role with J&K Mental Health for a more predictable, structured caseload alongside your specialty work
- Administrative and booking support, so you can focus on clinical care
- A collaborative, growth-minded practice culture with 40+ clinicians across both teams
What we're looking for
- Registered and in good standing as an RP with CRPO, or an RSW with the OCSWSSW
- Master's degree in psychotherapy, social work, counselling, or a related clinical field
- Genuine interest in trauma-focused practice and in developing cultural competency for work with first responders, military members, veterans, and their families
- Comfortable working independently while staying engaged with a team
- Able to work in-person in Kingston, ON
- Professional liability insurance (or willingness to obtain it)
An asset, not a requirement
- Training or experience in trauma-specific modalities (e.g., EMDR, CPT, CBT-T, somatic or attachment-based approaches)
- Lived or professional experience with first responder, military, or veteran communities
