The difference between these two designations is that a Registered Psychotherapist has more clinical experience than a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). But don't worry!

And from our experience, sometimes it isn't about who has been working in the field longest; it's more about who you click with better and who can help you feel safe in sharing. These factors are not developed through clinical experience, but more so a characteristic we've established as human beings!
