Compass Health is currently looking for a Child & Family Therapist/Trauma Specialist who is interested in providing excellent clinical care to children and youth who have disclosed sexual or physical abuse, and support to their families, in a unique inter-disciplinary setting working with other committed and dynamic professionals.

The Child Advocacy Program (CAP) team is a competent, hardworking, supportive and collaborative team of trauma therapists dedicated to providing high quality, evidence-based trauma treatment to our clients. We offer individual therapy, family therapy and group therapy. The therapists on our team interact and coordinate care with a variety of inter-disciplinary professionals at Dawson Place Child Advocacy Center and in the community, who are similarly dedicated to supporting children who have disclosed abuse and helping them to find healing and justice.

Therapists on the CAP team are supported by weekly individual supervision provided by experienced and competent supervisors. In addition, we value team meetings and consults, social connection and laughter, and an emphasis on self-care and the personal growth of the therapists on the team.
