CRPO Supervision of Psychotherapy and Consultation as defined by CPO:

I love mentoring and supervising therapists. I have been supervising, training, and mentoring psychotherapists or therapists-in-training for decades, first as a professor, and now from my private practice. I will be retiring in 2027 and I would love to pass on a career’s worth of knowledge and experience before then! The services I provide are defined as consultation by the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO), but they meet the requirements of supervision as defined by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

Supervision, as defined by CRPO:

Members of CRPO require supervision if they are either RP (Qualifying) or if they are Registered Psychotherapists not yet certified for autonomous practice. I can provide the required supervision in either case. The requirements for that supervision are listed here:  https://www.crpo.ca/supervision/ . I charge my usual hourly rate for this service.

Consultation, as defined by CPO:

Consultation and mentoring may be useful to a clinician (e.g., social worker, psychotherapist, or psychologist) in private practice, or to a mental health provider in a small agency that cannot provide on-site supervision. I would not be responsible for your work with the clients we discuss, and you would not give me their identifying information. I would simply be a resource for you to get some guidance or a second opinion on how you might choose to proceed. This can be particularly useful when you are not making progress with a client, or when your own issues may cause blind spots in your work, or when you are seeing clients with issues you don't yet have a great deal of experience with. It can be a nice safety net for practitioners in solo private practice or other small settings where psychotherapy practice can feel isolating and where it may be hard to find colleagues to consult with on difficult cases. Consultation is less costly than supervision as defined by the CPO, since I do not have to read your case notes, keep records on your clients, or be involved with billing. Consultation sessions can be recurring or can be scheduled sporadically as needed--whichever you prefer.

Supervision, as defined by CPO:

I no longer provide supervision as defined by the College of Psychologists of Ontario. The CPO has micromanaged the practice of supervision to such a degree that I cannot find a way to make it affordable to my supervisees and enjoyable for me.
