Student Placements
Roots in Wellness offers student placements to select individuals who are completing graduate degrees in Psychology programs with the intent to become therapists post-graduation.
Our Clinical Directors, Jennifer and Kayleen, are both qualified Clinical Supervisors with the CRPO and have been taking on students for over 5 years.
Roots in Wellness prides itself on being a place where new and prospective therapists can learn through student placements. We value independence and forging your own path and style as you move forward in your career.
Kayleen Edwards and Jennifer Lane both accept a limited number of students each term for practicum placements through various institutions. Our mission is to encourage confidence, growth, self-compassion, and skill building in order to help build up the new generation of therapists.
We offer both in person and virtual options for student placements, and we meet all of the requirements through the CRPO for clinical supervision. Our values lie in fostering positive relationships with therapists and encouraging individual growth rather than adopting a ‘cloning’ type of approach. We understand that every individual therapist is unique and has their own strengths, and we want to encourage each and every therapist and student to utilize their strengths and be their own therapist.
