## Common questions

### Do I need a referral?
No referral is required to see a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario.

### What is the difference between an RP and an RP (Qualifying)?
A Registered Psychotherapist has completed all CRPO requirements and is authorized for independent practice. An RP (Qualifying) is registered with CRPO and practicing under formal clinical supervision while completing the remaining requirements. Both are bound by the same regulatory standards and conduct expectations.

### Is therapy with an RP (Qualifying) appropriate for me?
For most adults seeking therapy for anxiety, ADHD support, trauma, relationship work, fertility and postpartum experiences, and life transitions, working with an RP (Qualifying) under registered supervision is appropriate. Daniella's clinical supervisor reviews her case work. Clients who require highly specialized care may be referred to Katelyn or to an external specialist.

### Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The 15-minute consultation is free and carries no obligation.

### What if I am in crisis or unsafe?
Anchor & Bloom is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call Talk Suicide Canada at 1-833-456-4566, call or text 988, contact the Distress Centre of Greater Toronto at 416-408-4357, or go to your nearest emergency department.

### Is psychotherapy covered by OHIP?
Psychotherapy provided by a Registered Psychotherapist in private practice is not covered by OHIP. Most extended health benefits plans through employers do cover RP services.

### What platform are sessions held on?
Anchor & Bloom uses Jane (jane.app), a Canadian-built and PHIPA-compliant clinical platform with secure video.

### Can I claim therapy on insurance?
Yes, if your extended health plan includes coverage for Registered Psychotherapists. Confirm with your insurer. We provide receipts automatically.
