What is the difference between a psychotherapist and a counsellor in Waterloo?

Other professionals who provide therapy include registered social workers (RSWs, regulated by OCSWSSW) and psychologists (regulated by CPBAO). When choosing a Waterloo therapist, look for their registration with one of these regulatory bodies, which ensures they meet professional standards and ethics requirements.
