The CCPA National Office

It is my pleasure to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), a national professional association that has seen tremendous growth over its 55+ years. We aim to support our thousands of members across the country in such areas as professional development, ethical practice, certification, networking, and advocacy.

Promoting the counselling/psychotherapy profession and achieving its recognition is a priority focus for CCPA. The importance of this work is amplified by the significant mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing need for improved access to services, particularly virtual. In addition to our independent advocacy efforts, CCPA collaborates with provincial/territorial, national and international groups to advance the mental health field and champion timely, qualified and appropriate care.

I invite you to peruse our website to learn more about the collective work of our National Office Staff, our Board of Directors, our various Committees and our regional and special interest Chapters. We welcome your feedback and ideas!
