Our practice is located within a mid-size business building which largely rents to other health professionals. We offer free parking to Associates and clients, the building has an elevator and accessible entrances, and we are conveniently located near Dartmouth General Hospital. When designing our office space, we focused on sound proofing our walls and ceiling, and creating a sensory friendly space for clients and clinicians. Associates joining our practice have the option to have their office fully furnished and decorated by Affirming Psychology or furnishing the office themselves. We offer services in-person or virtually to clients.
We also offer our Associates monthly peer consultation meetings along with other professional developmental opportunities, such as study groups and presentations from other health professionals and organizations. At Affirming Psychology, you would have access to a Full-Time Practice Administrator that would manage intakes and your wait list, complete billing for clients, including direct insurance billing when available, manage communication with major Insurance companies, and provide scheduling support.
If you are interested in joining our practice, please email your CV and at least two references to admin@affirmingpsych.ca.
