What is a Certified Nurse Psychotherapist?

Did you know there are 6 regulatory bodies in Ontario whose licensed members can independently perform the controlled act of psychotherapy without a doctor's order?

One of them is the College of Nurses.

A Certified Nurse Psychotherapist (CNPs), in addition to their nursing training, have obtained further education, training, practical skills, and supervision in providing professional counselling skills, and psychotherapy, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to treat clients, including individuals, couples and children.
