In Québec, the practice of psychotherapy is regulated by the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ). To legally practice psychotherapy, mental health professionals must obtain a psychotherapy permit issued by the OPQ. Our training supports candidates with high-quality, clinically relevant coursework that complements both professional development and continuing education for therapists in Québec.
Our OPQ-approved practicum programs are designed for psychotherapy permit candidates in Quebec to gain hands-on clinical experience and complete required internship hours. You will integrate theoretical learning into your clinical practice, deepen your understanding of systemic and psychodynamic models, and enhance your skills through case presentations, structured clinical discussions, and practical exercises in a supportive learning environment.
When you enroll in one of our psychotherapy permit practicums, you will participate in weekly group supervision with a small cohort of learners and be paired with an experienced individual supervisor specialized in your chosen therapeutic model. This combination of supervised clinical practice and mentorship ensures you meet OPQ requirements while building confidence and competence in your psychotherapy practice.
