Ontario Structured Psychotherapy Program
Ontario Structured Psychotherapy Program
Willowbridge is proud to be a service delivery site of the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program in the province’s West Region (“OSP West”).
OSP provides access to free, evidence-based psychotherapy for individuals 18+ with mild-moderate depression, anxiety and anxiety-related concerns. This short-term counselling service focuses on particular problems or a goal using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). The program has a variety of different treatment options to best meet your needs. Many clients will begin with service that combine self-led strategies, such as the BounceBack program which provides guided workbooks supported by a telephone coach. Additional services include structured group or one-on-one therapy delivered virtually or in person.
