Whittaker Wellness is seeking dedicated family physicians to join our compassionate team of CPSA-licensed medical professionals. Our mission is to extend therapy and counseling services to all eligible Alberta residents covered by AB healthcare insurance. At Whittaker Wellness, we specialize in delivering counseling, supportive and cognitive behavioral therapy through virtual or telephonic platforms.


As family doctors, you will have the ability to prescribe psychiatric medications when necessary, though such prescriptions will primarily pertain to long-term psychiatric drugs. The advantage of our approach is the minimal administrative and after-hours workload. No investigative procedures or lab work are required, streamlining your practice and allowing you to focus on patient care.


We acknowledge the demands of family medicine, and our workflow is designed to simplify your responsibilities. You'll be writing session notes during appointments, closing patient charts at the end of each hour, and that's it! There's no need to follow up on test results, manage prescription refills (unless you prescribe), or complete extensive forms unless you explicitly choose to do so.


While formal training beyond your CPSA certification isn't mandatory, we strongly recommend acquiring expertise in one of the various therapy modalities to provide top-notch care. We suggest considering cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is both accessible and cost-effective (we can provide recommended sources upon request). Additionally, we are pleased to offer financial support for courses in trauma-focused therapy modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) or IFS (Internal Family Systems) training. This demonstrates our commitment to helping you expand your skill set and offer diverse therapeutic approaches to our patients.


We offer a competitive, low-overhead rate of just 15%, helping you maintain a financially sustainable practice. Full-time doctors who meet certain billing thresholds can qualify for an even lower rate of 12%. Our overhead structure is transparent, simple, and doctor-friendly- we avoid complicated systems so you can focus on your patients. Billing is based on a fee-for-service model with competitive rates set at $201 per hour.


Join Whittaker Wellness in making a meaningful difference in the mental health of Albertans while enjoying a simplified, fulfilling professional experience.
