Do I Really Need Therapy?
Everyone chooses to come to therapy for different reasons.You do not need a clinical diagnosis to “need” therapy. Having said that, if you are curious whether or not how you’ve been feeling falls within normal ranges, you can visit BC’s “Here to Help” Online Screening Page which allows you to answer questions around mood, anxiety and substance use and to share your results with a practitioner.
If you want to talk about your results or have general concerns and want to learn more about how occupational therapy can help, reach out to schedule a free phone call.
What’s the difference between an occupational therapist and a psychologist?
Occupational therapists and psychologists are both regulated mental health professionals in Alberta.
Both offer screening, assessments, and therapeutic interventions, however, an occupational therapist does not provide a formal diagnosis.
While a diagnosis can provide certain insights, an individual is always treated as just that.
Occupational therapists often have a heavier focus on utilizing activity breakdown and goal setting as strategies to promote an individual’s re-engagement in day-to-day functioning.
Occupational therapists can also be more often found supporting individuals with their goals in the community e.g., for exposure therapy. The Alberta College of Occupational Therapists Position Statement on the Role of OT in Psychosocial Interventions can be found here.
Ultimately, while both occupational therapists and psychologists may have training in CBT, DBT, MBSR, ACT, IFS and other therapeutic interventions, each is unique in the approach they take to assisting their clients which is why it’s often best to reach out to a few different therapists to see who you connect best with.
