Join Our Team

At Clinique Altera, we are more than just a group of clinicians under one roof. We are a collaborative, trauma-informed community of clinicians, educators, and care providers who believe in doing things differently. Our ethos is simple: compassionate, inclusive, evidence-based care that supports not only our clients, but also the clinicians who serve them.

We are growing our team and looking for passionate bilingual professionals who share this vision. Whether you are a psychotherapist, social worker, counsellor, psychologist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, coach, educator, or allied health professional, we want to hear from you. We also welcome clinical interns and early-career clinicians who are excited to learn, grow, and be supported in their development.

Our care model is interdisciplinary, relational, and trauma-informed. That means we value collaboration across disciplines, honour diverse lived experiences, and create a safe space where clients and clinicians can show up as their whole selves.

Joining Altera means becoming part of a team that cares deeply about community, accessibility, equity, and clinician wellbeing. From clinical supervision and mentorship to creative collaboration and professional growth opportunities, we are here to support you as you support others.

If this resonates with you, we would love to connect. Bring your passion, curiosity, and care, and let’s build something meaningful together.

Our Values

  • At Clinique Altera, we believe meaningful mental health care begins with connection, integrity, and community. We are committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space where people of all identities, cultures, backgrounds, and family structures feel welcomed, respected, and understood. Diversity is not an add-on to our work. It is central to how we practice, learn, and grow.

    We value accessible care and strive to offer services that meet people where they are through varied fee options, virtual and in-person support, and a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to individual needs. Our work is grounded in evidence-based and trauma-informed practices while remaining deeply human, relational, and personalized.

    We also believe that healthy clinicians create healthier care. We foster a culture of collaboration, mentorship, wellness, and continued professional growth so that our team can offer thoughtful, sustainable, and cutting-edge support to the communities we serve.

  • At Clinic Altera, we recognize that mental health does not exist in isolation from the world around us. Experiences of discrimination, marginalization, poverty, violence, migration, and systemic inequities can profoundly shape wellbeing. Our commitment to social justice means approaching care with humility, awareness, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.

    We strive to provide anti-oppressive, culturally responsive, identity-affirming, and trauma-informed services for individuals, couples, and families from diverse communities. We are committed to examining and decolonizing our practices by questioning dominant frameworks, honouring multiple ways of knowing, and creating space for culturally grounded healing approaches.

    We also believe accountability matters. This means engaging in ongoing learning, reflection, consultation, and repair when needed so that our practice continues to evolve with integrity and responsiveness. We believe therapy can be a place not only for healing personal pain, but also for reclaiming voice, dignity, agency, and connection.

  • At Clinic Altera, we value transparency as an essential part of ethical and trusting care. We aim to be clear about our fees, policies, therapeutic approaches, clinician credentials, and the limits of confidentiality so that clients can make informed decisions about their care. We believe openness, honesty, and respectful communication help create safer and more collaborative therapeutic relationships. We also welcome feedback and remain committed to accountability, reflection, and continuous improvement.

  • We acknowledge that our clinic operates in Montréal, on the unceded Indigenous lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation, a place historically known as Tiohtià:ke. Montréal has long served as a gathering place for many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. We offer this acknowledgement as an ongoing commitment to learning, respect, relationship, and supporting decolonizing practices within our work and community.
