A message from the founder
Kim R. Christink
Founder & Executive Director
Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) · CRPO-Registered Supervisor · Marriage & Family Therapist
At Bayridge Counselling Centres, my goal has been to diligently develop a clinic that envelopes the best of private practice and the best of working on a dynamic multi-disciplinary team.
After working in this industry for 35 years, I have found that many counsellors want the experience and independence of private practice. But I have also found that once they have accomplished that milestone, they realise it is lonely, isolating, and a lot of work, especially the administration, the marketing, and the accounting.

Careers questions, answered
Common questions from therapists considering Bayridge. If yours is not here, our team is happy to answer it.
Once we have reviewed your resume and it looks like a good fit, we will schedule a video or phone call. The goal is to get to know each other and give you room to learn about Bayridge. We usually explore how you got into the field, which college or governing body you are registered with, the modalities you have trained in, the clients you are hoping to see, your experience with virtual therapy, your malpractice insurance, the capacities you have worked in, and any private-practice experience. We will also make sure you know who we are and what you can expect from the partnership.
Therapists who can practise the controlled act of psychotherapy, who are looking for extra income or a flexible schedule, and who want to provide therapy without being bogged down by running a business.
Work flexibility is one of the real differences Bayridge therapists get. In most cases we can accommodate your career goals around your own circumstances. You can work full-time or part-time, and you choose the days and time slots.
Not much to start with. Many therapists who join us are new to private practice, and we have been helping therapists set theirs up for years. We offer advice on business registration, help with GST and income tax questions, guidance on allowable expenses, and invoices that meet Canada Revenue requirements.
We use OWL Practice, which is fully PHIPA compliant and meets the highest privacy standards in the industry. It also handles scheduling, client management, billing, virtual sessions, and statistics in one place.
Most clients arriving in therapy have already tried many solutions for their problem, and one more coping strategy is not the answer they are looking for. We train therapists to build meaningful relationships with their clients and go deeper, so the core issues behind the problem can heal. We are not interested in band-aid solutions when real change is within reach, and we educate clients about the change process each step of the way so they are neither easily discouraged nor naive about the road ahead.
Access to an office or private space to use during client sessions, an up-to-date phone, tablet, laptop or desktop with internet access, a connection of at least 8 Mbps download and 1.5 Mbps upload, and access to email.
As part of onboarding you will assemble your Bayridge therapist profile. That means signing and returning your therapist contract by email, completing the profile sheet our Intake Specialists use to match you with clients, sending a professional photo for your online biography, writing a web biography from the template and samples we provide, reading through our policies, sending proof of liability insurance from your insurer, and providing one reference who can speak to your work. Once that is done, we schedule your training on the online therapy platform.
