Position Description

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center is a counselling practice serving children, youth, individuals, couples, and families in Woodstock and surrounding communities. Our work is rooted in trauma-informed, relationally focused care that honours the dignity and story of each person who walks through our doors.

Selah operates from a Christian worldview that values compassion, restoration, humility, and integrity. While our practice is founded on these values, we serve clients from diverse backgrounds and beliefs. Faith-integrated counselling is available upon request from clients, and clinicians are expected to provide ethical and respectful care to individuals of all backgrounds.

Alongside the clinical practice, our work also supports the vision of Selah Treatment Center, a developing charitable initiative focused on expanding access to longer-term, trauma-informed care for individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford it. This work reflects our commitment to building sustainable pathways for healing within the community.

As our practice continues to grow, we are seeking a Registered Social Worker (RSW) or Registered Psychotherapist (RP) who is passionate about supporting children, youth, individuals, couples, and families in their healing and relational growth.
