Maple Therapist (Bilingual)

Shift Collab, a leader in mental health therapy and custom matching, has partnered with Maple, Canada’s premier virtual care platform, to provide virtual therapy nationally.

This is the first service of its kind in Canada, as it innovates on the traditional care model and offers true on-demand and scheduled sessions for clients from the comfort of their home. Clients have the ability to choose their therapist on a day and at a time that works for them. As a therapist, you will support clients with a range of presenting issues, including mood disorders, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, work or school stress, and life transitions.

As a contracted therapist with Shift Collab, you'll deliver two types of sessions:

1. On-Demand Sessions: You will have the opportunity to pick up sessions between 8 am and 8 pm seven days per week, for up to 6 hours per week based on demand.
2. Scheduled Sessions: Allocate 6 hours per week in the Maple calendar, allowing clients to schedule sessions directly through the Maple app.
