Psychotherapy is regulated in a number of Canadian provinces, including Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. In other provinces, including in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, regulatory activities are in progress. Individuals wishing to offer psychotherapy services must therefore complete the training required by each provincial college.
While the training we offer may be recognized in other Canadian provinces, it was designed specifically for individuals seeking to obtain a psychotherapy permit in Quebec.
In order to qualify for a psychotherapy permit in Quebec, candidates must be members of an eligible order and hold a master's degree in the field of mental health and human relations. They must also complete theoretical and clinical training.
Candidates must complete the courses listed below, which are grouped into 6 domains: 1. theoretical models; 2. common factors; 3. critical tools; 4. mental disorders and psychopathology; 5. the link between biology and psychotherapy; 6. the legal and organizational aspects of psychotherapy; and 7. ethics. The training in these domain is theoretical.
Applicants must also complete 600 hours of clinical training, including:
