Filter by online options on Theralist to find remote therapists.

What credentials should I look for in an Ontario therapist?

Look for registered credentials such as PhD or Master's in Psychology, Registered Social Worker (RSW), or registered psychotherapist credentials. Verify therapists are registered with their professional body such as the College of Psychologists of Ontario or the Ontario College of Social Workers. Theralist displays therapist qualifications to help you choose.

Does Ontario have therapists specializing in specific issues?

Yes. Ontario therapists specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, OCD, ADHD, couples therapy, work-related stress, and addiction. Many also work with cultural or immigrant-specific issues, given Ontario's diverse population. Search by specialty on Theralist to find an expert in your area of concern.
