Sunny Days Psychotherapy, Counselling & Assessment

09/28/2025

Posted • ONTARIO RESIDENTS PLEASE SHARE. ➡️There are some major changes underway in how psychologists are regulated that the public deserves to know about. I believe these proposed reforms present serious risks to the public and to the future of psychological practice.

Here are the changes already approved (there are more, but these are the most concerning):

*New psychologists no longer have to pass a rigorous ethics exam - it’s been replaced with an online course

*Psychologists no longer declare areas of competency (like neuropsychology or school psychology). Instead, there are just broad categories like “health” or “industrial/organizational,” making it harder to know who is truly qualified.
AND these are the proposed additional changes:

*A graduate degree from a “Council-approved” program will be enough - programs will no longer need to meet the rigorous standards of Canadian Psychological Association accreditation.

*Training will require only ONE practicum placement. One. One setting, one slice of experience. Depth and breadth of training- what’s that?

*The 4-year post-Master’s experience requirement will be removed. This means someone with only a Master’s, and no further supervised experience, could call themselves a psychologist. Forget the rigorous training of a doctorate or actual supervised work experience.

*The Oral Exam would be scrapped- the last safeguard where seasoned psychologists verify readiness for independent practice. So all of these people going to non CPA approved programs, with one practicum, there is no final test, no safeguard.

The Ministry of Health is pushing these changes as a “solution” to the shortage of psychologists. Their answer? Lower the standards. Reduce the training. Risk the public.

Please raise your voice. Tell the CPBAO and your MPP that these changes are unacceptable and unsafe. SLIDE DECK CREDIT TO Dr. Lauren Stenason, Psychologist
