Company Overview

Anderson Therapy Services has been providing client-centred and innovative services for over 23 years. Our team provides assessment, treatment and consultative services in-clinic, in-school, at work, at home, in remote areas, and through our secure online videoconferencing platform.

Currently, we offer services to the Dundas and surrounding areas, but most of ATS' clientele stems from contracts with Indigenous communities across Ontario, Nunavut, and Quebec. Due to the nature of our work, the team at ATS highly values partnership, integrity, compassion, and innovation. We believe in a collaborative approach to providing care. The ATS team works with Northern and Southern clients to provide innovative and personalized therapy services for people of all ages and places across Canada. We build upon our clients' strengths to create an individualized treatment plan.

Our proven approach is far from one-size fits all. Hence, we foster a collaborative cross-disciplinary work environment with job flexibility and opportunities for career development to ensure our team is supported. Clinicians at ATS can work remotely (virtual care) or in a hybrid model of virtual and in-clinic service delivery. Clinicians are also able to participate in trips to the communities with whom they work, to facilitate a stronger connection with the child, family, and community. ATS is also dedicated to its team's life-long learning and provides many opportunities for professional development throughout the year to reflect this commitment.
