Psychiatrist

Carabao Care & Counselling is an integrated Family Medicine and Counselling Clinic, anticipated to open in December 2026, and we’re looking for a compassionate, collaborative Psychiatrist to join our growing team.

We’re creating more than a clinic - we’re building a practice where healthcare providers have a voice in how the clinic grows and operates. Our goal is to create a supportive, team-based environment where psychiatrists can focus on providing high-quality, patient-centred mental health care while having meaningful opportunities to help shape the future of the practice.

Our integrated model brings family medicine, psychiatry, and counselling services together under one roof, recognizing that mental and physical health are deeply interconnected. By fostering collaboration between physicians, psychiatrists, and Registered Clinical Counsellors, we aim to improve access to mental health services while providing patients with more coordinated, holistic care.

If you’re looking for a place where you can practice psychiatry, collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team, and have a genuine say in building something from the beginning, we’d love to hear from you!

What We Offer

• Competitive and transparent physician compensation
• Full clinic support — administration, scheduling, billing, operations, onboarding, and clinic management
• Modern, fully equipped clinic with dedicated administrative support

• Collaborative practice alongside Family Physicians and Registered Clinical Counsellors
• Opportunities to provide comprehensive psychiatric assessment, consultation, diagnosis, and treatment

• Opportunity to help develop psychiatric services within a growing integrated practice
• Supportive environment that values physician autonomy, professional growth, and work-life balance
• Opportunity to help shape clinic policies, workflows, and the future direction of the practice
