Curriculum Vitae

Private psychology services are an investment in terms of finances, time, and effort. It is very important for families considering seeking psychological services to be aware that the education and clinical training between registered psychologists can vary widely and the requirements for becoming a registered psychologist differ by province within Canada (e.g., in Alberta only a Master’s degree is required while in Ontario a Ph.D. is required). In addition, the education, clinical training, and entrance requirements between different types of professions within mental health (e.g., psychologist, psychological associate, psychotherapist, psychiatrist, social worker, counsellor) widely differ. The Ontario Psychological Association has published this chart to help the public understand different mental health professions within Ontario.
