St. Catharines, ON | Flexible Hours | Independent Contractor

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. Our clinical work is grounded in nervous system regulation, connection, and attuned, compassionate care.

You’re a values-aligned, skilled clinician who is:

Registered and residing in Ontario (MSW, RSW)
Experienced (2+ years) in clinical settings
Comfortable working with children and/or couples
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.
