Limestone Clinic is hiring an experienced couples/relationship therapist to join our Kingston-based psychotherapy team.
We are especially interested in clinicians who are confident working with adult couples, relational conflict, communication breakdowns, betrayal/repair, emotional disconnection, attachment patterns, and stuck interaction cycles.
This role is best suited to a clinician who can work independently, think clinically, manage complexity, and provide structured, thoughtful, ethical couples therapy within a supportive group practice environment.

After completing the assessment, you may be invited to submit a CV and cover letter through our formal application process.
