Question 1

What is psychotherapy and who can provide it?

Psychotherapy is a safe, supportive space to talk through life's challenges, gain new perspectives, and develop healthier ways of coping, relating, and moving forward.

In Ontario, psychotherapy is provided by regulated health professionals such as psychologists/psychological associates (C.Psych/C.Psych.Assoc.), registered psychotherapists (R.P.), and social workers (R.S.W.) who have specialized training in mental health assessment and treatment.
