Practicum Placement - Masters & Doctoral Candidates

About Us  

At BeWell Health Centres we’re reimagining how care is delivered in Ontario — comprehensive, committed, and connected.  

We believe in treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Our interdisciplinary team includes psychotherapists, social workers, psychiatrists, and psychologists working collaboratively to provide evidence-informed, deeply human care.  

Here, you’ll find the resources and support to do your best work — and the freedom to shape your clinical practice in a way that feels authentic to you.  

We’re growing - thoughtfully - and looking for clinicians who bring expertise, curiosity, and genuine care to their work.  

Who You Are & What You'll Do  

At BeWell Clinics, our Clinical Internship and Practicum Program serves as a premier training hub for Masters and Doctoral candidates. Our comprehensive program caters to students seeking to fulfill degree requirements in fields such as Counselling Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Education in Counselling Psychology.  

Students benefit from hands-on practicum experiences while receiving expert supervision from experienced clinicians. These practicum hours count toward meeting the requirements for registration with the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and the College of Psychologist and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO).  

We're looking for individuals driven by a passion for helping others and who thrive in diverse environments. Our ideal candidate values collaborative teamwork within a collegial atmosphere. Initiative, integrity, and a professional demeanor are qualities we highly value. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential for this role. An eagerness to delve into various aspects of a private practice setting, including intake procedures and administrative tasks, is a plus.  

Above all, we seek candidates committed to maximizing their learning experience during their placement. Dedication and a passion for learning are key attributes we admire in our ideal candidates.  

Practicum start date: September 2026 or January 2027
