Description of the practicum site and student activities:

Therapy Uninterrupted is a fully virtual clinical practice aimed at supporting individuals, couples, and groups in learning how to thrive instead of survive. Clinical work takes place with individual clients presenting with concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, and burnout, as well as personal and/or professional relational concerns often stemming from trauma. Individual therapy is done with clients focusing around the relationship with oneself and emotional regulation, relational dynamics and attachment with others, and healing from trauma. Couples therapy is done with dyads usually including romantic partners, however is open to any dyad (e.g. Parent-child, siblings, etc.), who usually present with high conflict as well as ruptures in the trust, stability, and/or dynamics of the relationship. Couples work is done with clients focusing on the relationship between the dyad around improving communication and trust, understanding alternative perspectives and backgrounds, enhancing confrontation skills and boundary setting abilities, and exploring repetitive patterns/tensions/ruptures that occur in the relationship. Group therapy and group workshops are held for small groups to support a specific topic of interest, such as self-love or ADHD and relationships. Therapy Uninterrupted is proud to support diverse therapists and clients through inclusive, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and neurodiversity-affirming care.

In addition to clinical work with clients, Therapy Uninterrupted also offers clinicians support from Point A (their practicum or early career) to Point B (starting their own private practice, if desired). Therapy Uninterrupted supports students and new clinicians with learning the basic clinical skills needed to be a competent provider, and builds that learning to a place of confidence and refinement over time. The clinic provides ongoing education, supervision, and clinical support to clinicians both in clinical practice as well as administratively through learning what is necessary to run a private practice. Therapy Uninterrupted believes that each clinician deserves the foundation to build a successful and ethical practice and strives to be able to provide these experiences to those who are willing to learn.

Accessibility Considerations:

Will the student have access to a private space for notes or computer use? As the practicum with Therapy Uninterrupted is virtual, the practicum student is fully responsible for providing a private and confidential space and access to a computer.
Are there breaks between clients/patients/meetings? Yes, there will be sufficient breaks between client sessions for notes, reflection, and supervision as needed.
Is the practicum considered fast-paced? The practicum student can expect fluctuations in their pace. The beginning of practicum will be slower and more learning-focused, with the second half of practicum being more fast-paced and more focused on clinical practice.
Is there a high noise level in the practicum? Due to the nature of this virtual practicum, the practicum student will be responsible in finding a space that is quiet and with minimal distractions to optimize clinical experiences for the student and the clients.
Is the site wheelchair accessible? As this practicum is virtual, this is not applicable. If the student chooses to complete some/all of the training in the first few weeks in-person, the space will be wheelchair accessible.
What are the physical demands of the practicum? Students can expect to spend prolonged periods of time in front of a computer screen and sitting relatively still while in client sessions. Students are encouraged to have comfortable office equipment and an ergonomic set-up, however this will be fully at their discretion. It is also encouraged that students take breaks to move and stretch between sessions.
Are there any other accessibility considerations that potential applicants with disabilities should be aware of? As this is a virtual practicum, the student will be responsible for any equipment needed to support their disability (e.g. Sound amplifier for hearing impairment). The Supervisor will support any disabilities as possible/necessary to ensure student success in this practicum.

If you are interested in this practicum, please send a cover letter and resume to miri.ben.dat@utoronto.ca by 4 pm Monday, March 2nd, 2026. Applications will be sent to the site.
