Psychological Assessments
What is a Psychologist?
Psychologists are registered through the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO). They usually hold doctoral-level training — either a PhD or Psy.D. They specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental health conditions. Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists do not prescribe medication.
They use evidence-based therapies like CBT, CPT, and ERP to help people overcome anxiety, trauma, OCD, ADHD, and more. Our online psychologists serve clients across Ontario from home — no travel required.

What is the difference between a psychologist and a therapist in Ontario?
Psychologists usually hold doctoral-level training (PhD or Psy.D.). Psychologists can also diagnose mental health conditions and conduct formal psychological assessments. Registered psychotherapists and social workers provide therapy but cannot diagnose or conduct assessments. If you need a formal diagnosis or assessment, a psychologist is the right choice.

Yes. Our clinical psychologists offer online psychological assessments for ADHD, autism, and mood disorders. An assessment includes clinical interviews, standardized testing, and a written report with recommendations.
Can psychologists prescribe medication in Ontario?
