About Inner Works Counselling

At InnerWorks Counselling, we are not your typical psychotherapy practice. Rather than the typical Independent Contractor model, we hire therapists as full time, salaried employees, including health benefits and paid time off. This is part of our commitment to help our team members build a career at InnerWorks Counselling.

At InnerWorks, we help families connect and thrive in a world full of distraction and busyness. In addition to therapy sessions, we make a difference in the lives of families through group therapy, social skills groups, Executive Functioning coaching, the Safe & Sound Protocol, and parenting support & education.

Our team believes that when we provide a collaborative approach to care, our clients see substantial and lasting change.

Our Values

Excellence: Go Above and Beyond. We strive for continuous improvement, take initiative, and always aim to exceed expectations. We want every client to feel the quality of care we bring to each session.

Innovation: Do it Differently. We disrupt traditional mental health practices by embracing creative, out-of-the-box approaches to better serve our clients and the community.

Team Players: Be a Giver. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. Our team works together to support both clients and one another, fostering a sense of community, growth, and shared success.
