To Whom it May Concern,
As a candidate for the position of Clinical Psychologist, I offer ten years of experience working in the mental health field. I obtained my Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Michigan School of Professional Psychology, and am currently working as a self-employed subcontractor for Great Lakes Psychology Group, in Michigan. I am seeking employment in Nova Scotia with a view to immigrating and earning permanent residence status in your beautiful province.
My experience includes individuals, couples, and adolescents, who present with depression, anxiety, relationship/family conflict, adjustment, work-related stress, self-efficacy, self-discovery, and LGTBQIA+ concerns. Over a week, I maintain an average of thirty session hours, with an active caseload of over fifty clients, (weekly, bi-monthly, and monthly). My goal is to continue to work in a field, and for an organization, dedicated to positive and progressive change in the lives of our clients.
My clinical training, knowledge, experience, intuition, and skill are all qualities I bring to a potential employer that would be beneficial to an organization such as yours. I would be interested in interviewing with you at your earliest convenience.
