OUR SERVICES

Clinical Supervision and Training

Montréal • Québec • Ontario • Online

Grow as a clinician. Deepen your craft. Learn in community.

At Clinique Altera, we believe great therapists are shaped through reflection, mentorship, experience, and ongoing curiosity. Our Clinical Supervision and Internship programs are designed for emerging and established clinicians who want to strengthen their clinical voice, expand their skills, and grow within a supportive learning environment.

Whether you are completing licensing requirements, seeking consultation on complex cases, refining your therapeutic identity, or looking for a high-quality internship placement, we offer relational, evidence-informed mentorship rooted in depth and humanity.

Available in person in Montreal and virtually across Quebec and Ontario.

OUR APPROACH

At Clinique Altera, supervision is relational, thoughtful, and growth-oriented. We see therapy as both an art and a science, best learned through reflection, practice, and mentorship.

Our approach draws from:

  • Psychodynamic and relational models

  • Trauma-informed care

  • Somatic and nervous system perspectives, such as EMDR and Brainspotting

  • Attachment-based frameworks

  • CBT, ACT, and integrative methods

  • Anti-oppressive and culturally responsive practice

  • Ethical standards and professional accountability

We support clinicians in developing not just techniques, but a grounded and authentic therapeutic posture.
