Resources

 

Here is a list of resources to help in your search for psychotherapy services whether for yourself or others. The following list is for your convenience. This is not an exhaustive list of resources. There is no recommendations or endorsement made to any resource. Please use your own judgement when contacting any resource to determine if that resource is appropriate for you. One of the best ways to find a psychotherapist is through recommendations from people you know and that you trust, this could be a friend, or from a medical/healthcare professional that you know. Another approach is to do a search on a reputable mental health website or visit a community based organization in your area such as your local branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Psychotherapy is a restricted practice in Ontario and only qualified registered members of six specific colleges are allowed to practice psychotherapy such as:

Psychotherapists, whether they are a physician-psychotherapist, psychiatrist, nurse psychotherapist, psychologist, registered psychotherapist, occupational therapist practicing psychotherapy, or social worker practicing psychotherapy, are required to be registered members of their respective regulatory colleges. Before starting psychotherapy, I suggest that you check the person who your are considering as a psychotherapist with the appropriate regulatory college for that profession to determine if the person is properly registered with their regulatory college.

If you are in crisis or in an emergency situation, please call 9-1-1 or go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital.

Psychotherapy practice closed.

I want to thank all my clients that I have seen over the years of my practice for their trust in me. After careful consideration I have decided to retire from psychotherapy and resign from the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario (CRPO). I have closed my psychotherapy practice effective as of June 8th, 2024. I wish all my clients the best in the future.

Thank you.

I want to thank all the people I have met in my professional practice including colleagues, teachers, mentors, and others that have helped me in my practice.
