A Registered Psychologist (RPsy) is a PRC-licensed mental health professional who provides talk therapy. They help you understand your thoughts and emotions, process difficult experiences, and build skills that last beyond the session.

### Individual therapy

One-on-one sessions to talk through what you're experiencing — anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, trauma, or anything weighing on you.

### Understand patterns

Help you identify the thought and behavior patterns that are keeping you stuck, so you can start to change them.

### Build coping skills

Practical tools for managing stress, regulating emotions, and navigating everyday challenges more effectively.

### Ongoing support

Sessions at your pace — whether you need short-term support through a specific situation or longer-term care.

Know the Difference

## Psychologist, Counselor, or Psychiatrist — which do you need?
