Counselling

Counsellors, psychotherapists and therapists, in person or online.

Short answer

Regulation of counselling and psychotherapy differs by province, and titles that are protected in one province may not be in another. Check that the professional is registered with the relevant body in your province, and ask about fees, availability and approach before booking. If you are in crisis, call or text 9-8-8 or 911.

What to expect

Evalynn does not ask for details about your mental health. Share those only with the professional you choose.

How to choose a professional

  • Check the professional's registration with the regulator in your province.
  • Ask about their approach and experience with the concerns you want to work on.
  • Confirm whether your benefits plan covers their designation.
