Insurance Coverage for Registered Psychotherapists & Social Workers

The members of our psychotherapy and counselling team are primarily Registered Psychotherapists, Qualifying Registered Psychotherapists, or Registered Social Workers.

You can provide your insurer with the registration number(s) of any member of our team to confirm whether or not their services are covered by your plan.

Note: Some members of our counselling team are currently unregistered with a regulating body, as they are either in the process of completing their Master’s degree or are new graduates awaiting registration.

What Is The Difference Between a Registered Psychotherapist & A Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist?

Registered Psychotherapists have met the full requirements of the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Qualifying Registered Psychotherapists are in the process of fulfilling the requirements to become a Registered Psychotherapist. Virtually all members of the CRPO will spend some time in the Qualifying category. Qualifying Registered Psychotherapists are permitted to practice psychotherapy under the clinical supervision of a regulated professional in psychotherapy. For more information on these registration categories, please visit the CRPO’s website:

 

What To Ask Your Insurer If You Want To Work With A Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist

If you have coverage for a Registered Psychotherapist and you wish to receive services from a Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist, we recommend contacting your insurance provider and asking the following question:

“Does my insurance plan cover services provided to me by a Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist who is receiving supervision from another regulated professional in psychotherapy, as per the guidelines of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario?”

Note: You can provide your insurer with the registration number of the Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist, as listed above.
