Green Leaf Psychological Services is seeking a personable, skilled Registered Counsellor to join our established private practice clinic in Halifax, Nova Scotia with full-time and part-time opportunities.

This position offers flexible working hours, generous compensation, health benefits, and a full clinical caseload on day one , without the stress of running your own practice or being limited to a 9-5 traditional position.

Our newly renovated, fully furnished offices are bright, modern, and located in a professional building in the heart of Halifax, surrounded by physicians, dentists, pharmacies, yoga studios, and other complementary services. We receive a very high volume of referrals from Halifax, Bedford, and Dartmouth, and are currently unable to meet demand.

Successful candidates join with a full caseload ready immediately, or whenever you choose to take this on. We offer a warm, supportive environment, full administrative support, regular peer consultations, and a genuine emphasis on work-life balance.

Why Choose Green Leaf?

• Full caseload provided - no marketing or networking required.
• Flexible scheduling - choose weekdays, evenings, or a mix.
• No minimum hours (set your own availability).
• Fully furnished, modern office space in a central location.
• Full-time in-office administrative support - intakes, scheduling, client screening, payments, etc.
• Collaborative, friendly clinical team.
• Regular peer consultations.
• Work–life balance built into our practice model.
• Health benefits.

Compensation:

• Estimated annual earnings: $130,000 - $140,000.
• Above-market compensation with most counsellors exceeding $130,000 in their very first year.

Qualifications:

• Masters or Doctoral degree in Counselling or Psychology.
• Registered with The Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists​.
• Experience providing treatment and intervention services for adults, and/or couples, and/or teens.
• Interest in working in a supportive, private practice environment.

Who This Opportunity Is Perfect For:

• Counsellors transitioning from hospital, community mental health, other private practice clinics, or government settings.
• Counsellors seeking higher income, more autonomy, and flexible hours.
• Counsellors who currently find themselves in less than healthy or toxic workplaces (unfortunately they do exist). We are very focused on maintaining a healthy, friendly, and respectful clinic.
• Counsellors in Nova Scotia who are currently operating independently but do not have a full caseload.

How to Apply:
