Why would I choose Shift Collab?
As a therapist in Canada, you've got loads of options of where to work. There are so many group practices, integrated health clinics, apps, and provider networks to choose from. But not all are equal.
We get it. Many of us have worked at other group practices, we've been signed up with EAP networks, we've tried to have our own solo practice. It's hard, lonely work. But it doesn't need to be.
At Shift Collab, we've created a place that lets therapists do their best work in each session, supported by a dedicated team of staff and senior therapists. In a nutshell, we are creating the best virtual workplace for Canadian therapists.
If that's what you're looking for, we'd love to meet you and be part of your next chapter.

LEARN MORE ABOUT SHIFTFAQs
We have a tiered system that increases compensation with years of experience, sessions delivered, and tenure with Shift Collab. A full-time therapist delivering 22 to 25 sessions per week that has strong client retention can make well over $100,000 per year. We share our compensation structure with you during the application process.
We work with you, as your partner to build your caseload. If everything goes well, from the first day of starting sessions, it takes about 3 months for you to be 80% full. From there, our focus goes to developing a solid roster of regular long-term clients and slowly building to a point of where you’re between to 90% and 100% full. This typically takes about another 6-9 months depending on your clinical focus and client retention. These are estimates from our experience and are premised on an active partnership with you to build a robust case load. As we often say, this is a gym not a spa.
We are currently working on a model to facilitate this. If you have a private practice that is not part of a group practice, please do apply and we’ll review on a case by case basis. However, we are not an accelerator for those wishing to pursue build their private practice as their sole focus outside of Shift Collab.
Clinical excellence is a core part of who we are. To that end, we offer private and group supervision. Full-time therapists can access up to 2 hours of 1:1 supervision with a senior therapist per month at no cost. We also have four supervision groups focused on different areas of practice that meet monthly, in addition to other weekly and monthly professional development sessions.
Our goal is for our therapists to focus on what they do best — therapy. To that end, we provide extensive admin and marketing support including the Care Coordination team that provides scheduling, billing and communication support, the Clinical Operations team that facilitates caseload building, professional development, and career planning support, and the Clinical Excellence team that provides extensive supervision, clinical collaboration, and guidance with complex cases. On the marketing side, we provide extensive support in focusing your practice on the right clients for you, developing marketing collateral, lead generation, and exposure opportunities for you to develop thought leadership. Even though we do so much, we still count on you to be an active partner throughout all of this work!
