Psychologist vs Counsellor

Finding the "right" psychologist for YOU...

A Registered Psychologist might make sense if... 

• Wanting a regulated standard of care and professional accountability.                          
• Verified training and supervision on the path to independent practice.     
• Formal registration exams as part of licensure
• Ongoing competence requirements (continuing learning)
• Care that is evidence-informed, ethical, and clinically grounded.

Questions to ask that might help you make a decision...

• Are you regulated—and by which college or                       association?                                                                       
• What kind of clients/issues do you work with.                                           most often? 
• How do you approach therapy (structure, pace, goals)?
• How do you track progress and adjust if it’s not helping?
• What ethical standards guide your work?
