Maternal Health Niagara is growing! We’re seeking a warm, reflective, and ethically grounded Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) to join our attachment-based, trauma-informed team.
All of our therapists are trained in perinatal mental health, but we support a diverse range of clients across the lifespan — including those navigating trauma, parenting, identity, relationships, and life transitions.

- Trained in trauma modalities (e.g., EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic, FLASH, IFS)
- Grounded in attachment-based and bottom-up approaches
- Strong in assessment, case conceptualization, and crisis response
- Able to work both independently and collaboratively
- Covered by professional liability insurance by start date
- Willing to complete perinatal mental health training upon joining (self-funded)
Ideal Qualities
- Emotionally attuned, warm, and authentic
- Committed to ethical, inclusive, and culturally sensitive care
- Reflective and growth-oriented
- Strong in communication, time management, and documentation
- Available for evening or weekend sessions
What We Offer
- Referrals and marketing to help build your caseload
- Jane EMR system (scheduling, billing, e-claims, secure documentation)
- PHIPA-compliant email and fax services
- Monthly team meetings and bi-weekly lunch-and-learns
- Beautiful, furnished therapy offices with natural light and ravine views
- Free on-site parking and easy public transit access
- Flexible scheduling within a supportive environment in St. Catharines
Why Join Us?
We’re a practice that balances clinical excellence with heart. Our team shares a commitment to:
- Trauma-informed, relational care
- Specialized perinatal mental health training
- Serving clients across the lifespan and identity spectrum
- Ongoing learning, reflection, and collaboration
Whether you’re looking to deepen your work with perinatal clients or bring your trauma-informed skillset into a meaningful, supportive practice — we’d love to hear from you.
