    Psychotherapists Labour Mobility – Registering in Ontario

    Posted by Steven Butler, M.Ed., LCT, CCC on April 18, 2023 at 2:29 pm

    Hi Folks!

    I’m currently registered in a regulated province (LCT – Licensed Counselling Therapist in New Brunswick) and I’ve read a lot of information on the Labour Mobility application form on the CRPO website.

    I’m wondering if anyone has experience moving from one regulated province (NS/NB/PEI/Quebec) to Ontario and would be willing to share their experience? Although I’ve read through the website multiple times I have multiple questions if anyone has experience with this.

    Thanks so much for any insight you might be able to lend.

    Hi Steven, I have not had this experience but I am wondering why with a CCC you would need the CRPO to practice in Ontario? CCC allows you to practice across Canada. My personal feeling and professional knowledge is that if you are registered as a mental health practitioner in Ontario you can practice as a mental health professional. The ‘title’ is the issue with the CRPO and with the Ontario College of Social Workers, so as long as you do not call yourself a Registered Psychotherapist then a ‘Psychotherapist’ would still be okay. Belonging to a college is necessary for the protection of the public and to help guide us regarding best practices. Hope that helps!
