About Shannon's Credentials
What Is the CCC Designation?
The CCC designation is a licensed certification granted only to holders of an ACCREDITED Master's degree granted by the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). The CCPA holds the practitioners granted this title to a high degree of ethics and practice standards and as such this designation alone will qualify the designate's services for benefits and are recognised nationally for their commitment to client care excellence and high quality continued education.
What is an R.P. (Q) and who is the CRPO?
While my business is based in Alberta, I hold a Qualifying Registration with the CRPO in Ontario that allows me to see clients in Ontario and allows them to claim my services on their benefits. I Hold the R.P. (QUALIFYING) status because I decided to register in Ontario to expand my reach in January of 2024. I have passed the CRPO registration exam and work under a CRPO registered supervisor's license ( Kate Harper PhD, RP (CRPO #005749), CCS) for the next couple of months until I finish my supervision hours.
In Ontario Psychotherapy is a Controlled Act
Registered Psychotherapists are authorized to perform the controlled act of psychotherapy.
What to Expect from a Registered Psychotherapist
When you seek the services of a Registered Psychotherapist, you can expect to receive competent, ethical, quality care from a qualified professional who is registered with CRPO.
CRPO registrants are accountable to the College for the quality of care they provide and for their professional conduct. Only individuals who are registered with CRPO or another psychotherapy-regulating college in Ontario are able to use the title “psychotherapist” or to hold themself out as qualified to practise as a psychotherapist in Ontario (no matter what title they use). Anyone using the title “Registered Psychotherapist”, or any abbreviation or variation thereof in any language, must be registered with CRPO.
Standards of Practise
All RPs in Ontario must follow the established standards for the profession. CRPO’s Professional Practice Standards for Registered Psychotherapists are in place so you can be assured that your psychotherapist is practising in a competent and ethical manner. The standards provide clear expectations for RPs, covering everything from professional conduct to record-keeping and documentation.
CRPO holds all Registered Psychotherapists accountable for their conduct and practise.
