12. What's the difference between a social worker and a psychotherapist?

Social workers are registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). Social workers provide a wide range of services, including psychotherapy, advocacy, and support to individuals, families, and communities.

 

They often work in various settings, such as hospitals, schools, social service agencies, and private practices. Social workers address social and systemic factors that impact mental health and well-being. However, social workers do not provide a clinical diagnosis in Ontario, Canada. 
 

Psychotherapists in Ontario are regulated by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Psychotherapists also provide talk therapy or other forms of therapy to help individuals deal with emotional, psychological, and mental health issues.

 

They also do not provide a clinical diagnosis in Ontario, Canada. It's essential to note that while there is some overlap in the services provided by social workers and psychotherapists, their specific roles and scopes of practice can vary based on their qualifications, training, and regulatory guidelines. It is also important to check with your insurance company whether they cover a social worker or a psychotherapist or both.
