At Exhale Therapy, we believe a strong team creates a strong clinic. Our independently owned counselling practice provides personalized, compassionate support to individuals, couples, and families.

Our team includes over 30 trained professionals, including registered social workers and psychotherapists who offer evidence-informed therapy using a range of therapeutic approaches.

Our bright, welcoming office and values-driven culture create an environment where both clients and staff feel supported. Our administrative team plays a vital role in keeping the clinic organized and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. In this role, you will work alongside clinicians and colleagues to manage scheduling, communications, and client care processes that help the clinic function efficiently and professionally.

We are guided by inclusivity, collaboration, and mutual respect. Joining Exhale means becoming part of a team that values professionalism, teamwork, and the contributions of every staff member while maintaining a positive, structured, and client-centered workplace.

What You’ll Do

As a Registered Therapist at Exhale, you will provide high-quality psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families, supporting clients through a range of concerns with care, professionalism, and clinical integrity.

You will work within a collaborative team environment while maintaining autonomy in your clinical work, supported by strong systems, referrals, and administrative infrastructure.

You are grounded, reflective, and clinically curious. You bring training across multiple modalities and feel confident supporting individuals, couples and trauma work, with the ability to work with more complex or layered presentations. Experience supporting families is considered an asset.

You value both clinical depth and consistency, and you are looking to build your work within a team, not in isolation.
