Couples Therapist
Fern Creek Psychotherapy
Fern Creek Psychotherapy is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Couples Therapist to join our team at any of our three locations in Brooklin, Courtice, Bowmanville.
We’re looking for a warm, skilled, and relational therapist who genuinely enjoys working with couples and is passionate about helping partners reconnect, communicate more effectively, and build healthier relationships. The ideal candidate will have experience working with couples experiencing relationship conflict, communication difficulties, infidelity, life transitions, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, and/or attachment wounds.
About Fern Creek Psychotherapy
Fern Creek Psychotherapy is a growing group practice serving individuals, couples, children, youth, and families across Ontario. We believe therapy should feel human, approachable, and meaningful—not clinical or one-size-fits-all. Our team is collaborative, supportive, and committed to providing high-quality, evidence-informed care while reducing barriers to accessing mental health services.
About the Role
As a Couples Therapist at Fern Creek, you will provide psychotherapy to couples through virtual and/or in-person sessions. You’ll work with couples from a variety of backgrounds and presenting concerns while developing treatment plans that reflect each couple’s unique goals and needs.
We’re particularly interested in therapists with training or experience in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman Method, or other evidence-informed couples approaches.
You’ll also have opportunities to collaborate with other therapists within our practice when couples work intersects with individual, family, or youth mental health needs.
We’re Looking For Someone Who:
- Is a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Registered Social Worker (RSW), Psychologist, or otherwise appropriately registered to provide psychotherapy in Ontario
- Has specific training and/or meaningful clinical experience in couples therapy
- Is comfortable working with couples experiencing significant relationship distress and conflict
- Has a strong understanding of attachment, relational dynamics, and emotional regulation
- Brings warmth, empathy, confidence, and authenticity to their clinical work
- Is comfortable working independently while also being a collaborative member of a team
- Values ongoing professional development and consultation
- Maintains strong clinical documentation and professional standards
- Is reliable, organized, and committed to providing an excellent client experience
Additional training in EFT, Gottman, IFS, or another recognized couples therapy model is an asset.
What Fern Creek Offers
- A supportive and collaborative group-practice environment
- Referrals
- Excellent administrative support
- Client billing
- The opportunity to build a couples-focused caseload
- Flexible scheduling and virtual/in-person options
- Clinical consultation and opportunities for professional development
- A team culture that values connection, collaboration, and quality of care
- The opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of our couples programming
This is an excellent opportunity for a therapist who wants to develop a strong couples therapy practice within an established and growing psychotherapy clinic, without having to build everything from scratch. If you appreciate all the background work being done for you - office set up and ready to go, client file platform, website, referrals, support services, support for getting sessions paid for, follow up with clients, genuine desire to see you reach your potential, and more - then this is a great option for you.
