Description

Are you a Registered Psychologist passionate about supporting clients through psychological assessments? Are you excited to join an innovative, mission-driven company?

If you’re still reading, it means you’re the perfect fit! Sooo... Hi! We're DiveThru. We're on a mission to ensure no one struggles alone. Through our in-person studios and online platform, we connect today's generation with a modern therapy experience.

As a mental health tech company with funding from all levels of the government, we are integrating technology into the therapy experience to improve therapist and client experiences and outcomes. By bringing together every element, from matching with a therapist, managing appointments, accessing resources, and tracking progress directly in the DiveThru app, we are modernizing the therapy experience. The centralization of therapy tools means one less thing to worry about so that clients can focus on what matters — their mental health.
