Julia Ryan Psychology is a specialized psychological assessment practice in Ottawa, serving individuals, children, youth, and families across the lifespan. We've built a trusted reputation for thorough, evidence-based assessment of neurodevelopmental conditions and co-occurring mental-health needs — comprehensive, individualized, and grounded in current best practices — and families, schools, and referring professionals seek us out. Demand for our work consistently outpaces our capacity, so a clinician joining us steps into an established, steady caseload of meaningful referrals from the start, with the support to focus on the work rather than on building a practice.

We're growing thoughtfully, and we care as much about how our clinicians develop as about the care they provide. Ours is a warm, growth-minded team where careful, rigorous clinical thinking is the norm — supported by real supervision, rich peer collaboration, and ongoing learning.We provide comprehensive, evidence-based, client-driven care for neurodevelopmental differences and the mental-health needs that accompany them.

What we offer

A steady, established caseload drawn from our reputation and strong referral relationships — comprehensive assessments that often lead into follow-up therapy and intervention, so you can carry clients beyond the report rather than build a caseload from scratch

Full administrative support (scheduling, billing, practice management) and trained psychometrists to support test administration

A furnished, welcoming clinic and effective practice-management tools, with flexible in-person, hybrid, or virtual arrangements

Meaningful supervision, mentorship, and the collective knowledge of a diverse team

A fair, transparent compensation model — a percentage split scaled to your hours and the resources you use

Who we're looking for

We're currently seeking a Psychologist or Psychologist in Supervised Practice with strong clinical skills, sound critical thinking, high integrity, and a commitment to inclusive, client-centered care. Comfort with adult comprehensive assessment — including ADHD and autism — is the heart of this role, though our work spans neurodevelopmental and mental-health assessment across the lifespan. If that's your kind of work and our values feel like yours, we'd love to hear from you.

We are also looking to add group facilitators to our team. 

Training & Practicum

Growing clinicians is part of who we are, so we also welcome practicum students — including those who arrange their own placements — along with supervised-practice candidates and early-career clinicians seeking mentorship in neurodevelopmental assessment. If you have an interest in ADHD, autism, learning, intellectual, or language differences and the mental-health and behavioural concerns that accompany them — or you're a placement coordinator wondering whether we'd be a fit — please reach out. We especially welcome trainees interested in lifespan work.

Get in touch

Whether or not there's a formal posting up, we're always glad to connect with clinicians who share our approach. Reach out at julia@drjuliaryan.ca to introduce yourself with a cover letter and CV.
