Have you changed or added a practice site and not yet informed the College?

If you have had a change in employment or started a private practice, you are required to report this to the College so that your Public Register profile remains up to date. This information must be correct and complete before December 31, 2022 in order to ensure that the picture of Registered Psychotherapists and the services registrants provide is accurately reflected in the Ontario Health Professions Database. This database is a critical source of information, used by the Ministry of Health to inform health human resources planning. Given the increasing need for mental health supports and services that we have seen over the past year, it is particularly important that you ensure your information is complete.

You can find information about Updating Your Public Register or Personal Contact Information on the CRPO website. Please take a minute to check your profile and to make any needed updates by logging into your CRPO account.

Education Program Recognized

The Spiritual Psychotherapy program at the Transformational Arts College is the latest educational program to receive academic recognition from CRPO. This means that the program sufficiently enables students to develop the required competencies for entry-to-practice in psychotherapy. Visit our website for more information about the recognition process or to review the other recognized programs.

Can I write a letter for my client?

Clients request letters and other kinds of documentation for a variety of reasons, for example, to confirm they require a support animal, regarding return to work, or as part of disability claims. Whether or not a CRPO registrant can provide such documentation requires careful consideration and professional judgement.
