Contract Summary

Dalton Associates is seeking a compassionate and experienced Child Therapist to join our team as an independent contractor, providing culturally responsive and trauma-informed mental health services to children and youth in remote First Nations communities across Northern Ontario.

The successful candidate will approach the work with humility, flexibility, and a strong commitment to walking alongside communities in support of children’s wellness.

Key Responsibilities

Provide strengths-based, developmentally appropriate therapeutic support to children and youth using play therapy, art therapy, and other expressive modalities.
Support children experiencing emotional, behavioural, grief, trauma-related, and mental health concerns.
Deliver services within school and community settings in ways that are culturally safe, respectful, and responsive to community context.
Collaborate closely with caregivers, Elders (where appropriate), educators, and community supports to promote wraparound care.
Support skill-building and regulation strategies that can be carried over in classroom and home environments.
Provide virtual follow-up sessions and consultation between community visits, as appropriate.
Maintain timely, respectful, and accurate clinical documentation in alignment with program standards.
Participate in case consultation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Uphold trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and relationship-based care practices.

Culturally humble and respectful: Practices with openness, humility, and deep respect for First Nations cultures, languages, and ways of knowing.
Relationship-first approach: Prioritizes trust-building with children, families, schools, and community partners.
Collaborative and community-minded: Works in partnership with local teams and honours community direction.
Flexible and adaptable: Comfortable working in dynamic school environments and remote community contexts.
Creative and play-oriented clinician: Skilled in expressive, play-based, and strengths-focused therapeutic approaches.
Organized and accountable: Maintains strong documentation, follow-through, and professional reliability.
Self-aware and reflective: Engages in ongoing learning and reflective practice related to cultural safety and trauma-informed care.

Qualifications

Master’s degree in Social Work, Psychology, Counselling, or a related clinical field.
Registered and in good standing with a relevant Ontario regulatory body (e.g., OCSWSSW, CRPO, CPO).
Formal training and demonstrated experience in play therapy and/or art therapy strongly preferred.
Experience providing therapy to children and youth in school and/or community settings.
Demonstrated experience working in trauma-informed and culturally responsive ways.
