What is psychotherapy?
What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy that is intended to help people improve and maintain their mental health and well-being.
The controlled act of psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client 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 behaviors that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.

Insurance coverage and acceptance:
Some insurance plans may cover a part of the psychotherapy services, when such services are supervised by a registered professional. It is your responsibility to obtain approval from your insurance company for the eligibility of these services for reimbursement.
