Find your therapist

A thoughtful match starts with what matters to you.

Answer a few questions and we’ll suggest up to three clinicians. This takes about three minutes. You can skip optional preferences.

Step 1 of 7About you

Who is looking for support?

We’ll first make sure each clinician can provide the type of service you need.

What kind of help are you looking for?
What is WSIB assessment or treatment?

Choose this only if you have an Ontario workplace injury or illness claim and are seeking assessment or treatment through the WSIB Mental Health Program of Care. If you are unsure whether this applies to you, please contact reception before booking.

What would you most like help with?

Choose up to three concerns, beginning with the one that matters most. You do not need to have received a diagnosis—choose what best describes the help you would like.

Where and how would you like to meet?

Appointment format

Online appointments are available to clients throughout Ontario. Depending on the clinician’s profession, registration, and the rules where the client is located, virtual care may also be available in Quebec, New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia. Please contact reception to confirm eligibility outside Ontario.

How important is this?

Clinician type, insurance, and fees

Tell us whether you prefer a particular type of clinician and whether insurance or cost should influence your matches.

Will you be using extended health insurance?

Select this if out-of-pocket cost matters after reimbursement or your insurance coverage is limited.

What do these professional titles mean?

All three are regulated mental-health professionals in Ontario who may provide psychotherapy within their areas of competence.

Registered Psychologists are regulated by the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario. Most enter practice after roughly 10 or more years of university education, doctoral training, practica, a pre-doctoral internship, and post-doctoral supervised practice, followed by professional examinations; some psychologists registered under earlier pathways hold master’s degrees, and some complete additional specialized post-doctoral training. This is generally the most extensive training route listed here. Among the professions represented at Connect Cognitive Therapy, psychologists are the only clinicians authorized to communicate a formal psychological diagnosis.

Registered Psychotherapists are regulated by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. All Registered Psychotherapists at Connect Cognitive Therapy have a master’s degree. Their pathway includes recognized master’s-level psychotherapy education and training, supervised clinical experience, and a registration examination. An RP (Qualifying) is registered with the College and practises under clinical supervision while completing the requirements for full RP status.

Registered Social Workers are regulated by the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Social workers providing therapy at Connect Cognitive Therapy hold master’s degrees in social work. In Ontario, social workers who meet their College’s competence and title-use requirements may perform the controlled act of psychotherapy and use the title “psychotherapist” alongside their social-work designation.

A professional title describes a clinician’s education and regulatory pathway, but it does not necessarily indicate who will be the best fit. Relevant experience, therapeutic approach, personal style, availability, fees, and insurance eligibility may be equally important.

What kind of therapeutic approach would suit you?

Choose up to two. If you’re unsure, you can skip this step.

Would any therapist characteristics help you feel understood?

This section is optional. English is available from every clinician. If you would prefer another available language, choose it below.

For therapist gender, tell us whether the characteristic is required, preferred, or not important to you.

Would familiarity with any of the following help you feel understood?

Select any that matter to you. These preferences are considered only when relevant clinician information is available and will not outweigh clinical fit.

We may not have a clinician who shares every background. If a shared background is especially important, reception can help you explore the available options personally.

When can you usually attend?

Select every time that could work for you.

How important are these times?
How soon would you like to begin?

We’ll prioritize clinicians whose current estimated availability fits your timing. Actual appointment times can change.
