At Arms Open Counselling, we know that your practicum is more than just a requirement—it’s a chance to grow into the kind of therapist you want to become. We’re committed to creating a supportive, hands-on learning experience that balances team support with the freedom to develop your own style.

Here’s what you can expect when you join us as a practicum student:

• Mentorship – Consistent connection with the clinical director as well as your team of therapists.

• Clinical Experience – Opportunities to work directly with clients in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment.

• Team Collaboration – Be part of a warm and welcoming team that values community, collaboration, and connection.

• Practical Skills – Guidance in all facets of becoming a therapist.

• Wellness-Focused Environment – A calm, supportive setting designed to nurture both your clients and you as a developing therapist.

• Book club – Bimonthly book club to help build skills as a therapist.

• Fun team events– You will be invited to join us on our annual retreat, spring event and Christmas staff party, followed by joining the AOC float in the Santa Claus Parade
