FAQ
Psychotherapy is a talk-based therapy intended to help people improve and maintain their mental health and well-being. Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers work with individuals, couples and families in individual and group settings.
Psychotherapy occurs when the therapist and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life. Psychotherapy treats a wide range of issues and mental disorders.
Psychotherapy is considered a treatment and is regulated in 5 provinces in Canada. Psychotherapy can only be performed by those deemed regulated to do so. Evolve Psychotherapy has Registered Psychotherapists who are registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and Registered Social Workers who are registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.

It’s normal to be anxious or a little overwhelmed about beginning therapy if you’ve never experienced it before. Just like other experiences in life, the first time can seem scary. A first session with us looks a little something like this: You will be greeted warmly by your practitioner and they will spend time making sure you are comfortable and create a safe and secure therapeutic space conducive to you being able to relax. A first session generally includes some basic questions from your practitioner about you, your life, your experiences and your worldview. We make every effort to begin the process of understanding you and your unique self right off the start. We may ask you to fill out some assessments, as we work from a scientifically-sound approach, this helps us to incorporate solid and real data about you into your treatment. Your relationship with your therapist is important and the most predictive factor in your wellness in psychotherapy. ‘Fit’ is everything, as it allows you to feel heard, understood and comfortable. This is necessary for the work of psychotherapy, and it is a process. There is no ‘one size fits all’ fix to any problem or person. We at Evolve take individuality and tailoring our approaches very seriously, afterall, people are not templates.
