Be Part of Something Bigger
At North Shore Kids Therapy (formally North Shore Occupational Therapy), we believe that the work we do is more than just delivering therapy sessions — it’s about changing lives, nurturing potential, and creating a brighter future for neurodivergent children and their families. Our team is built on shared values: wholehearted teamwork, courageous curiosity, and intentional action.
We’re not just looking for employees — we’re looking for people who want to belong to a community where growth, reflection, and purpose are part of everyday practice. If you’re passionate about neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and relationship-based care, you’ll find yourself at home here.
Our Story
North Shore Kids Therapy began with a simple but powerful vision. Working as sole practitioners, Janie and Cheryl both had full waitlists and could see the growing need for high-quality support for children and families. At the same time, we were noticing a troubling pattern in the profession: many early-career therapists were being thrown into the deep end with complex caseloads, little training, and minimal supervision. Too often, talented therapists were burning out before they had the chance to thrive.
We knew there had to be a better way.
Our dream was to build a practice that not only expanded our impact for families, but also created an environment where therapists could feel supported, mentored, and proud of their work. From the very beginning, we designed our clinic with this in mind — from our large staff room that allows the team to gather daily, to spaces purpose-built for collaboration, reflection, and ad-hoc learning.
Today, North Shore Kids Therapy is more than a workplace. It is a community where clinicians grow, families feel truly seen, and every child has the chance to thrive.
Our Team Mission
We are not just a clinic.
We are a movement.
We are the ones who sit on the floor,
follow the child’s lead,
and believe in the power of presence over performance.
We are the ones who pause to understand
before we rush to intervene.
We don’t chase compliance.
We cultivate connection.
We don’t fix children.
We hold space for them to unfold,
in their own time, in their own way.
We believe regulation is the heart of everything.
And relationship? That’s the path.
It guides our sessions, our team culture, our every decision.
We are here for the slow, steady work.
The work that requires patience, humility, and hope.
The work that honours process over perfection.
The kind of work that changes lives—
including our own.
We are lifelong learners.
We ask hard questions,
hold brave space,
and grow from inside out.
We seek supervision not as a checkbox,
but as a lifeline for reflection, integrity, and growth.
We collaborate. We co-regulate.
We care—deeply. Fiercely. Sustainably.
If you’re looking for a place that values presence over productivity,
authenticity over authority,
and people over policy—
You belong here.
Let’s reimagine what therapy can be. Together.
