JOIN US - we are hiring

The SYC team is a group of highly skilled, value-driven, experienced professionals.
We became counsellors through our love of working with young people
(which we have all done for a very long time and in a variety of different settings - from backcountry wilderness trips to classrooms).
We offer a variety of therapeutic approaches to support diverse needs.

We offer placements for Master of Social Work students and students enrolled at Yorkville University. *Please note at this time we are only offering external supervision for Yorkville students.
