🌟 About Skipping Stone
Skipping Stone connects Two-Spirit, trans and gender-diverse people with affirming and comprehensive support. We work from a belief that all trans people are worthy of dignity, respect, and care — and that access to gender-affirming services is a right, not a privilege. Our team shows up with heart, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to equity.
We are a Calgary-based, trans-led nonprofit working across health, wellness, community, and advocacy. We prioritize sustainability, collective care, and alignment with decolonial and anti-oppressive practices.
🧠 About the Role
We are looking for a Registered Psychologist to join us as a key member of our integrated care team. In this role, you’ll provide affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care to Two-Spirit, trans and gender-diverse clients, while also contributing to our broader approach to care, healing, and community support.
This is not just a clinical role — it’s a values-aligned leadership position that helps shape how care is delivered in trans communities, with creativity, nuance, and depth.
🔍 Responsibilities
• Support clients, including youth 16 & 17 years old, access affirming healthcare by providing readiness assessments, as required by physicians.
• Provide individual, family and/or group therapy for Two-Spirit, trans and gender-diverse clients, using affirming and anti-oppressive frameworks
• Support front-line program staff with reflective practice and care consultation
• Collaborate with our leadership circle to strengthen clinical pathways and community care practices
• Stay current on best practices in affirming mental health care, and bring that learning into organizational conversations
• Engage in internal training, team wellness initiatives, and collective leadership spaces
• Maintain documentation, ethical standards, and registration with the College of Alberta Psychologists
🙌 You Might Be a Great Fit If You:
• Are a Registered Psychologist in Alberta (or able to transfer your registration)
• Have experience working with trans and gender-diverse people in therapeutic contexts
• Use trauma-informed, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and harm reduction practices in your work
• Value cultural humility, collaboration, and boundary-conscious care
• Are interested in working at the intersection of individual healing and systemic change
🌱 What We Offer
• Salary: $90,000 - $105,000/year (or prorated, if part-time)
• Comprehensive benefits including health/dental/mental health coverage
• Generous vacation and leave policies
• Flexible scheduling
• Deeply values-aligned, trans-affirming, and justice-centered team culture
• Full support for professional licensing, insurance, and growth — so you can focus on care, not costs.
⚖ A Note on Pay & Equity
We are committed to transparent and equitable compensation. This role falls in our C3 / C4 bands, which includes leadership roles with strategic responsibility and organizational care labour. Our pay structure was developed using third-party salary benchmarks, the living wage, compression limits, and a decolonial equity audit.
We especially encourage applications from Two-Spirit people, trans and gender diverse individuals, BIPOC, disabled folks, and those with lived experience navigating gender-affirming care systems.
