Trauma Focused Therapist

Trauma Focused Therapist

We do trauma therapy differently.

New Moon Psychotherapy is a thriving, downtown Toronto practice specializing in PTSD, complex trauma, and sexual trauma. We’re an authentic, bright, deeply committed team: no fluff, no colluding with avoidance, and no fragilizing trauma survivors.

If you’re a trauma-trained therapist who believes in recovery, loves evidence-based work, and wants to practice in a supportive, anti-oppressive community, we’d love to hear from you.

Your future clients are ready. Are you?

Send your application to hiring@newmoonpsychotherapy.ca today.
