Then consider joining the team at Turning Corners Psychological Services (TCPS).
Turning Corners Psychological Services is a growing group practice and a family business, established in Ottawa in 1999. With a move to our new location in the Ottawa Business Park, Turning Corners offers a unique opportunity for associates interested in exploring the world of private practice.
The Benefits of a Group Practice
Private practice can be an isolating experience for mental health practitioners. Given the sensitive nature of our work and the difficult tasks we are often called upon to help with, feeling connected to other providers can be extremely important.
Having colleagues close by for support, consultation and company can make a big difference when it comes to job satisfaction. Colleagues also provide additional opportunities for professional growth and development. TCPS strives to provide practitioners with a supportive environment in a professionally-run organization. Here, every clinician is a valued team member and is encouraged to bring one’s own vision and style to their practice.
