What Makes Someone a Registered Psychologist in Calgary?
In Alberta, a registered psychologist has completed a master’s or doctoral degree in psychology, passed standardized licensing exams, and is regulated by the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP). Our team includes both Registered Psychologists, who practice independently, and Registered Provisional Psychologists, who hold the same qualifications and are completing supervised practice hours — both provide accountable, high-quality care.

How is a Psychologist Different from a Therapist or Counsellor?
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings in Alberta that are worth understanding when choosing support.
A Registered Psychologist has completed graduate-level training in psychology and is regulated by the College of Alberta Psychologists. They can provide counselling, psychological assessments, and — in some cases — formal diagnosis.
What Is a Therapist or Counsellor?
A therapist or counsellor may have graduate-level training and experience but may not hold the same registration requirements as a psychologist. Their focus is often on providing counselling and support for emotional and mental health concerns.
Similarities Between Therapists and Psychologists
Both psychologists and therapists provide valuable mental health care. They use evidence-based approaches to help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.
Choosing the Right Option for You
The right choice depends on your needs. If you are seeking a diagnosis or formal assessment, a psychologist may be the best fit. If you are looking for ongoing counselling and support, a therapist or counsellor may also be a good option. Both roles play an important part in supporting mental health and well-being.
At Solasta, our team includes registered psychologists, registered provisional psychologists, and registered social workers — all supervised and accountable to their respective regulatory bodies.

No. You can book directly without a referral from your doctor. A free consultation call is a good starting point if you’re unsure which service is right for you.
What's the difference between a psychologist and a therapist or counsellor?
A registered psychologist has graduate-level training regulated by the College of Alberta Psychologists and can provide formal psychological assessments and, in some cases, diagnosis. A therapist or counsellor may have similar graduate training but isn’t registered the same way, and typically doesn’t provide formal assessments — both provide valuable, evidence-based mental health care.
What's the difference between a Registered Psychologist and a Registered Provisional Psychologist?
Both hold the same academic qualifications. A Registered Psychologist practices independently. A Registered Provisional Psychologist is completing supervised practice hours under a senior registered psychologist — both provide accountable, high-quality care.
Are sessions with a psychologist covered by insurance?
Sessions aren’t covered by Alberta Health Care but are typically reimbursable through extended health benefits. Most major insurers cover Registered Psychologist and Registered Provisional Psychologist services — check your plan for details.
Do you offer psychological assessments?
Yes — adult autism assessments, adult ADHD assessments, child autism assessments, and child psychoeducational assessments, all using gold-standard tools with detailed written reports.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes, for counselling — available by secure video anywhere in Alberta. Assessments are conducted in person at our Calgary office.
