What is clinical supervision for psychotherapists?

Clinical supervision is a professional support process where a qualified clinical supervisor provides guidance, case consultation, and mentorship to psychotherapists. It helps therapists develop their skills, ensure ethical practice, and meet licensing requirements.

How many hours of clinical supervision do I need for CRPO?

The College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) requires 150 hours of clinical supervision for Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying). At least 50% must be individual supervision, while the remainder can be completed in group supervision.

Can I complete my CRPO supervision hours online?

Yes! CRPO allows virtual clinical supervision, as long as it is interactive and structured. Ontario Supervision offers online group and individual supervision that meets CRPO requirements.

What is the difference between individual and group supervision?

Individual supervision provides one-on-one mentorship tailored to your cases and professional growth. Group supervision allows multiple therapists to share cases, receive feedback, and learn collaboratively. Both count toward CRPO’s supervision hour requirements.

Who can provide clinical supervision for CRPO requirements?

CRPO requires clinical supervisors to be Registered Psychotherapists (RP), Psychologists, Social Workers, or equivalent professionals with extensive experience in psychotherapy and supervision.

What should I expect in a clinical supervision session?

Supervision sessions typically include case discussions, ethical considerations, intervention strategies, and self-reflection. Supervisors help therapists navigate challenges, improve their skills, and maintain professional accountability.

Is clinical supervision mandatory for Registered Psychotherapists?

Yes. Clinical supervision is required for psychotherapists working toward full RP status. Fully registered RPs are also encouraged to engage in ongoing supervision to meet CRPO's Quality Assurance (QA) requirements.

How much does clinical supervision cost?

The cost of clinical supervision varies based on the supervisor, format, and duration. Individual supervision is generally more expensive than group supervision. Ontario Supervision offers flexible pricing and group rates.

How do I book a supervision session with Ontario Supervision?

You can book individual or group supervision sessions by visiting our online booking page at https://ontariosupervision.janeapp.com/ or emailing admin@ontariosupervision.ca.

How often should I attend clinical supervision?

The frequency of supervision depends on CRPO requirements and your professional needs. Therapists working toward RP status should attend supervision regularly to accumulate hours, while fully registered RPs may opt for ongoing supervision based on their practice.

Can I switch supervisors during my supervision hours?

Yes, you can switch clinical supervisors if needed, as long as the new supervisor meets CRPO’s supervision requirements. Your supervision hours from different supervisors will still count toward your total.

Do social workers need clinical supervision?

Yes. While requirements vary, social workers often engage in clinical supervision for professional development, ethical consultation, and maintaining competency in psychotherapy.

What are the benefits of group supervision?

Group supervision allows therapists to gain diverse perspectives, discuss complex cases, and engage in peer learning. It is also more cost-effective than individual supervision and counts toward CRPO’s supervision requirements.

Does clinical supervision count as continuing education?

Yes, clinical supervision can contribute to continuing education requirements, as it enhances professional development, ethical awareness, and therapeutic skills.

What happens if I don't complete my required CRPO supervision hours?

If you do not complete the required supervision hours, you may not be eligible for full registration with CRPO. It is important to track your hours and plan your supervision accordingly.
