NEW: Ontario Structured Psychotherapy Program

CMHA Niagara is proud to be a partner and service delivery site of Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) in the province’s West Region.

Overview

The Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program provides access to free, evidence-based psychotherapy and related approaches for individuals 18+ with depression, anxiety and anxiety-related concerns.

OSP is structured to provide short-term support focused on a particular problem or goal using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). We offer different treatment options to provide the level of care that best meets your needs. Many clients will begin with treatments that combine self-led strategies, such as the BounceBack program which provides guided workbooks, with support from a coach by telephone. Additional services include structured group or one-on-one therapy, virtually or in person.

Topics Addressed:

Depression and low mood

Generalized anxiety and worry

Social anxiety and performance fears

Unexpected panic attacks and agoraphobic fears

Health anxiety

Obsessive-Compulsive concerns

Post-traumatic stress

Specific fears

Other anxiety- and stress-related problems (e.g. work stress, test anxiety)

This program is only available with referrals from OSP West:

OSP West accepts referrals from healthcare providers and self-referrals from potential clients. To learn more and access referral forms, visit OSPWest.ca. Healthcare providers using the Ocean eReferral Network can make a referral by searching for “OSP West”.
