Who is therapy for?

Therapy encompasses a range of treatments that help a person identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Typically, therapy occurs one-on-one with a licensed mental health professional or with other patients in a group setting.(1)

In general, the goal of therapy is to achieve relief from symptoms, maintain or enhance daily functioning, and improve quality of life.(2)

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

The terms psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, and counselor refer to professionals in the field of mental health, but they differ in their education, training, scope of practice, and the types of services they provide.

The key differences are: 

  • Medical Training: Psychiatrists are medical doctors and can prescribe medication, while psychologists, therapists, and counselors cannot.
  • Focus: Psychiatrists often focus on the biological and medical aspects of mental health, whereas psychologists, therapists, and counselors focus more on emotional and psychological aspects through various forms of talk therapy.
  • Licensure and Education: Psychiatrists require a medical degree, psychologists require a doctoral degree, and therapists and counselors typically require a master’s degree in their field.
How do I choose the right therapist for me? 

Choosing the right therapist is a personal and important decision that can significantly impact your mental health journey. Here are some steps and considerations to help you find the right therapist for you:

  • Identify your needs and goals
  • Research types of therapy
  • Consider the therapist’s credentials
  • Seek recommendations
  • Check compatibility and comfort 
  • Evaluate practical considerations 
  • Trust your instincts 
  • Seek feedback
  • Remember: after initial engagement, nothing is set in stone. You can always try working with someone else if your needs are not being met!
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Not necessarily. Some therapists offer both in-person and online sessions at the same rate, while others might charge differently. Always ask before booking a session!
