Registered Psychotherapist

Overview:

Hope Harbour Centre aims to empower individuals and families to overcome challenges and lead fulfilling lives. With a compassionate and dedicated faith-based team, the Centre strives to create a safe and welcoming environment for all who seek assistance. Whether facing hardship or seeking growth and development, Hope Harbour Centre is committed to providing the resources and support needed to help individuals and families thrive.

As we witness an increasing demand for mental health support, we seek a dedicated and compassionate Psychotherapist to join our team who can offer individual and couples therapy online and by phone. Associates work as contractors at Hope Harbour, so you can focus solely on your therapeutic practice without the stress of managing a business or marketing.

With over 15 years of experience as a Psychotherapist and CRPO Supervisor, she is passionate about supporting her colleagues in providing the highest quality of care possible. Pamela is always down for a good laugh, but don’t let her sense of humour fool you – she’s fiercely passionate about supporting her team in providing top-notch care to our clients. Not only is she a compassionate and collaborative leader, but she’s also a big believer in ongoing professional development. Working under Pamela’s leadership can provide valuable mentorship and support as you build your career as a Psychotherapist.
