ABOUT THE NEWLY INSTITUTE
The Newly Institute was founded to provide long-lasting change within the mental health industry, our community, and with our clients. We are leading a paradigm shift in the Canadian healthcare system by building a network of purpose-built mental health clinics across Canada. By fusing a bio-psycho-social-spiritual treatment model with medically managed therapies, our intensive outpatient programs provide rapid access, rapid resolution, and rapid return to work and healthy lifestyle programs for anxiety, depression, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, and chronic pain.
We have an exciting opportunity for a psychiatrist to join our highly innovative, collaborative, multi-disciplinary team that's passionate about realizing positive client outcomes. You'll be a part of a diverse and inclusive culture in which everyone's voice is heard, employees feel empowered to show up as their authentic selves, and well-being is prioritized above all else.

You'll provide initial assessments to our diverse referral sources including private clients, long-term disability providers, workers' compensation organizations, and more. The Psychiatric assessment will provide recommendations on programming at The Newly Institute, while providing input on medication optimization and insight on treatment targets.
You'll also take part in routine case rounds while providing follow-up care during treatment.
