Job Description

Maratos Counselling & Consulting is a therapy practice that has been a part of the Brantford area for 10 years. We are proud of the reputation we have built, the connections we have cultivated and most importantly, the high quality therapeutic support we provide. We're known for clinical depth, ethical practice, and a strong team culture. Our Brantford office is welcoming and professional who lives within a reasonable commute to our community for in-person work. We value therapist self-care, so if you will be commuting more than 40 minutes to our office, you aren't a good fit.

Don't Apply If You Are:

A clock-puncher

looking to "just see clients" without investing in the growth of the practice.

A private practice hobbyist

who wants to "try it out" but isn't committed to building something sustainable.

A therapist who needs hand-holding

because although you will be a part of a supportive, collaborative team, you need to be comfortable working independently and asking for help when you don't know the answers.

Entitled,

expecting a full caseload without effort, networking, or community engagement.

Not prepared for evening availability.

Your hours need to match client demand, and when you work with kids and teens, that means after 3:00.

You aren't afraid to cultivate community connections, remain aware of key referral sources and how we can meet their needs. You want to become the expert, go-to therapist for your population.

What You'll Do:

Autism
