Join Our Team

At Eckert Centre, we support individuals and families navigating complex challenges—trauma, anxiety, neurodiversity, and relational strain that impacts the entire family system.

Our work is grounded in a whole-person, family-systems approach. We are seeking a highly skilled trauma therapist with a secondary area of specialization in either:

• Child therapy and parent support, or
• Couples and family therapy (Family Systems focus)

This is a full-time employment position within a collaborative, psychologist-led team.

Who This Role Is For

This role is designed for a clinician who brings depth, clarity, and confidence in their work.

You are:

• A trauma-informed clinician with 5+ years of experience
• AND have a clearly developed second area of specialization in either:
  • Child and parenting work (attachment, emotional regulation, behavioural support), OR
  • Couples and family therapy (systems-based, relational, communication-focused)

You are comfortable working with:

• Trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions
• Women’s mental health (including postpartum and menopause)
• Clients seeking Christian faith-integrated counselling
• Clients seeking non-faith-based therapy

Clinical Expertise

Primary Area: Trauma

You have advanced training and demonstrated competency in three or more of the following:

• EMDR
• Havening Techniques® (sensory-based trauma processing)
• Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR).
• Attachment-based approaches
• Parts work (e.g., IFS-informed)
• Polyvagal-informed care

You understand trauma through a nervous system, relational, and meaning-making lens, and can work effectively with complex presentations.

Secondary Area (Choose One Path)

Child Therapist & Parenting Specialist

• Experience working with children ages 0–12 (with a primary clinical focus on ages 4+) and their caregivers
• Strong understanding of attachment, emotional regulation, and parent-child dynamics
• Experience supporting neurodiverse children (ADHD, ASD, learning differences)
• Ability to coach parents in practical, evidence-based strategies
• Training in attachment-based or parenting models such as:
  • Circle of Security
  • Theraplay

Couples & Family Therapist (Family Systems)

• Advanced training in couples and/or family therapy
• Strong grounding in Family Systems approaches
• Training in models such as:
  • Family Systems Therapy
  • Gottman Method
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Skilled in communication repair, relational patterns, and attachment dynamics
• Experience working with couples and complex family systems

Innovation, AI, and Thought Leadership

This is not a traditional therapy role.

At Eckert Centre, we are building a modern, integrated model of care, and we are looking for a clinician who is excited to contribute to that vision.

You will:

• Use AI tools to:
  • Support administrative efficiency
  • Develop psychoeducational resources
  • Contribute to written and video content
• Participate in:
  • YouTube and educational video creation
  • Community outreach and referral partnerships
• Contribute to program development within your area of expertise

Emerging Therapies

You will be part of a team introducing:

Exomind Therapy (launching Spring 2026)
An accelerated rTMS-based treatment approved by Health Canada for:

• Depression
• Anxiety (including OCD)
• Binge eating

You do not need prior experience with TMS, but you must be open to learning and integrating emerging mental health technologies alongside psychotherapy.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree (or higher) in Psychology or Social Work
• Registered (or eligible for registration) in Alberta
• Minimum 5 years of clinical experience
• Advanced training in trauma treatment
• Demonstrated secondary specialization (child/parenting OR couples/family)

Faith Integration

Eckert Centre offers optional Christian faith-integrated counselling.

This role requires:

• Ability to integrate Christian perspectives into therapy when requested by the client
• Comfort working with clients of diverse belief systems
• Clinical discernment in how and when to incorporate faith appropriately

What Makes This Role Different

• Full-time employee position (not contract)
• Competive salary grid and health benefits
• Strong leadership, supervision, and team collaboration
• Opportunity to:
  • Build programs and services
  • Contribute to content and thought leadership
  • Be part of innovative care models
• A clinic built around whole-family, long-term care

Who Will Thrive Here

You are:

• A confident and thoughtful clinician who enjoys working with complexity
• Motivated to grow both clinically and professionally within a collaborative team
• Comfortable being visible through teaching, speaking, and video content
• Interested in contributing to something meaningful and aligned with a whole-person, family-centred model of care
• Able to work effectively within a private pay setting, with a clear understanding of billable work, client commitment, and the role we play in helping clients engage in consistent, outcome-focused care over time

To Apply

Please submit:

• Your CV
• A cover letter outlining:
  • Your trauma training and experience
  • Your secondary specialization
  • Your interest in innovation, AI, or content creation
