The difference between an RP and RP (Qualifying) - In short, the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) has different titles for RPs depending on their stage in their practice and the milestones they have met. 

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) - Has completed or mostly completed a Master's degree in a field related to Psychology/Counselling. They are authorized to practice psychotherapy but must do so with ongoing clinical supervision and actively work towards RP status. 

Registered Psychotherapist (RP) - Has completed the required supervision and direct practice hours and passed the CRPO's entry-to-practice examination. An RP in this category may be working towards the necessary supervision and direct practice hours for "Independent Practice" status. This status indicates they are no longer required to access supervision to practice. Their public credentials remain the same when they receive Independent Practice status. Many RPs continue to access supervision even once it is no longer required to maintain ethical practices for themselves and their clients. 

Every insurance plan is different, so it would be important to contact your insurance provider to discuss your coverage. When speaking with them, ask the following questions:

1. Do they provide coverage for Registered Psychotherapists?

2. If so, how much coverage do they provide?

Unfortunately, Psychotherapy Services are not covered by O.H.I.P.

I am currently using Jane App for all my booking and billing. Jane App allows you to place a valid credit card on file (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) for seamless billing and emailed receipts. 

An additional option is e-transfer. 

Summit View Psychotherapy's cancellation policy is a three-tiered system, meant to reduce the cost of cancellation fees for the client. We also use a system which sends you multiple reminders via email and/or text before the cancellation windows affording multiple opportunities for rescheduling. This policy reflects the following schedule: 

Cancellations within 48 hours of your appointment: $65 

Cancellations within 24 hours of your appointment: $100 

No-Show: Full session fee 

If you have any concerns about this policy, please reach out to me to discuss further. 

*Please note most insurance companies do not provide coverage for charges related to missed sessions or late cancellations.

• • The session rate is $140/hour
