Welcome to the OPCC Psychotherapy Referral Network
At OPCC, we believe that effective therapy starts with the right connection.
Our Referral Network is built on a foundation of clinical excellence, relational integrity, and a deep understanding of human complexity — values that are central to our five-year training program in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Therapy that meets you where you are – with depth, care, and integrity
At the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counselling College (OPCC), we know that starting therapy is a big step. That’s why we’re here to help you find a therapist who is not only well-trained, but deeply attuned to the emotional, cultural, and relational complexities of life.
Our therapists are trained through OPCC’s intensive five-year program in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy — a model that prioritizes insight, safety, and lasting change. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, trauma, relationships, or personal growth, our network is here to connect you with a therapist who will listen closely, think deeply, and walk alongside you with care.
How It Works
Thoughtfully Matched — Not Algorithm Assigned
At the Ontario Psychotherapy & Counselling College (OPCC) Referral Directory, your request is reviewed by a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) — not an automated matching system.
We believe therapeutic fit is relational and nuanced. It cannot be reduced to filters alone.
When you submit a referral request:
- A Registered Psychotherapist carefully reviews your needs
- Clinical factors such as attachment patterns, trauma history, complexity, and therapeutic goals are considered
- We assess therapist scope of practice, readiness, and availability
- You are connected with a therapist whose approach aligns with your concerns
Unlike directories that rely solely on algorithms, OPCC’s referral process is grounded in professional clinical judgment.
As a psychotherapy training college rooted in relational and psychodynamic practice, we approach referrals with the same care and ethical responsibility we bring to clinical education. Because therapy begins with the right relationship.
Why Choose a Therapist Referred by OPCC?
- Depth-Oriented, Trauma-Informed Training
Our therapists are trained to go beyond surface symptoms — attending to root causes, unconscious patterns, and meaningful transformation. - Ethical, Inclusive, Anti-Oppressive Practice
Every therapist in our network is committed to creating safe, culturally responsive spaces grounded in empathy, humility, and respect. - Clinically Supervised Care
Whether you’re working with a graduate or a senior student intern, all therapists in our network are supported by ongoing supervision and professional development. - Accessible Fee Options
We believe therapy should be financially accessible. Our network includes low-cost options, including therapy with interns under supervision.
What Makes OPCC’s Approach Different?
At OPCC, psychotherapy is not a one-size-fits-all method. We train therapists to attune to the whole person — including unconscious patterns, early life dynamics, and present-day struggles.
We foster practitioners who are not just clinically competent but emotionally present, self-aware, and committed to personal growth alongside their clients.
