Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help people improve and maintain their mental health and well-being. Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and clients enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.
Registered Psychotherapists (RP) are registrants of CRPO. They are legally authorized to perform the controlled act of psychotherapy and are permitted to practice independently. Senior RPs have 10 + years of clinical experience. Some Senior RPs have also completed further training to become clinical supervisors.

Clinical Psychology
A Clinical Psychologist is a mental health professional with highly specialized training in the diagnosis, and psychological treatment of mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders. Typically, this requires a doctoral level degree, specialty training in evidenced-based therapy practices and finally professional competency exams to be licensed.
A Clinical Psychologist can be a helpful resource providing you with insight and skills to optimize your mental health and wellness toolkit. By helping you keep a clear mind and managing stress, anxiety, depression, phobias, and other adjustment problems you may face. A Clinical Psychologist can help you get the most out of life and help you address the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems. You can move forward from suffering to thriving.
You can expect your Clinical Psychologist to help you identify problems- emotional, mental, and behavioral in your life. Through observation, interviews, and tests, the Psychologist will diagnose any existing or potential disorders. Then together with you, develop a therapy treatment plan to meet your needs. The Psychologist then monitors your progress against the goals set for the treatment plan to ensure it meets your needs, and to reassess or adjust the treatment plan if necessary. The therapy chosen is usually based on the Psychologist’s assessment of the evidence-based therapy (i.e., CBT, ACT, EFT etc.) most suitable to the client’s concerns. The therapy may be provided by the Clinical Psychologist or by a highly trained Psychotherapist trained to provide this therapy.
In some cases, such as a Motor Vehicle Accident or other accident event you may be referred to a Clinical Psychologist to determine the impact on your mental health and suitable treatment plan. This may involve providing a Clinical Psychology Assessment and Report to assist integrated services with multidisciplinary professionals involved with your rehabilitation (i.e., family physician, chiropractor, physical therapist, kinesiology). The Clinical Psychologist may also provide assessment reports, treatment plans and progress reports to the Insurance Company and/or to your designated legal counsel. These reports can facilitate Return-To-Work planning and transitions (where applicable).
